Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I wake at dusk to go alone
Without a light
To the unknown
I want this night inside of me
I want to feel
I want this speeding
I want that speeding
My blood beats black tonight!
No need for comfort
No need for light
I am hunting for secrets tonight
Eat the sorrow lick the spark
You oh my blood beats dark
And here it comes
It comes for me
I want to run
I want to scream
Get in my car with both eyes closed
Full pedal down
And I am speeding!
My blood beats black tonight!
No need for comfort
No need for light
I am hunting down demons tonight
Eat the terror lick the spark
Uh oh my blood beats dark.
Without a light
To the unknown
I want this night inside of me
I want to feel
I want this speeding
I want that speeding
My blood beats black tonight!
No need for comfort
No need for light
I am hunting for secrets tonight
Eat the sorrow lick the spark
You oh my blood beats dark
And here it comes
It comes for me
I want to run
I want to scream
Get in my car with both eyes closed
Full pedal down
And I am speeding!
My blood beats black tonight!
No need for comfort
No need for light
I am hunting down demons tonight
Eat the terror lick the spark
Uh oh my blood beats dark.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
the first song i ever heard by patrick wolf. i've been insanely in love with him ever since.
this song is absolute greatness.
an amazing song indeed. oh Patrick, take me for a ride with both eyes closed without the light! :-)
this song perfectly fits for lonely night walks through the city, with your headphones on... or just sitting on the backseat of the car and watching out of the window into the night...
i'm being totally immersed in Lycanthropy lately, such a strangely beautiful record...
The chorus is so catchy. Definitely a stand out track on the album
i love the beat of the second time he is singing "blood beats black tonight" d d d ddd
this song is perfection.
Perhaps he's talking about letting go or blocking out all the petty shit and people in his life (i.e. "eat the sorrow"; "hunting for secrets..."; and "hunting down demons...") and just looking to bring happiness or excitement into his life (i.e. "lick the spark" - the spark being the excitement) to kind of negate all of that.
Being that it's something as simple as speeding in a car just for the adrenaline rush, excitement can still bring happiness to a person even if it's within a small time frame.
This is the first Patrick Wolf song I ever ever heard and it will always be my favorite. I think this song is brilliant and beautiful. Amazing.
I really have no idea what this song means but its great and v.v. catchy..
I love it!
