The song is about a songwriter who faces the difficult task of reconciling the words and actions of his lover, which seem to be quite contradictory. He is gifted with the ability to write but, apparently, cannot sing too well. The girl can, but has never offered to try to sing any of his songs. She says she loves them when he sends her something he's written, but doesn't post them on her socials for others to see these works she's so proud of. She can also write quite well, but has only joined him to write one time, at his casual request. The Chorus lands the plane, describing the conflict that goes on within him, which is further expatiated in the Bridge when he says his mind is "under fire", a rather graphic picture of the fight inside. He knows she loves him, truly, but can't seem to understand why her actions tell a different story. It's a highlight of the plight some couples find themselves in, where there is a lot of love and other emotional accompaniments, but not as much support when it comes to the personal goals and struggles the individuals in the relationship are left to battle on their own.
The beauty industry is huge in today's society. Girls and women particularly are sucked deeply into it, investing in a lot of things to enhance their beauty from simple efforts like make-up to rather extreme ones like plastic surgery. But, how necessary are these things? Have we lost perspective? What really defines true beauty? The song addresses this and attempts to let those who feel uneasy about how they look know that they can be beautiful the way they are; one doesn't have to fit into the mold that society has created for them in order to find acceptance and happiness. This vice-like conformity has injured the esteems of many a victim, and keeps luring more and more of its unsuspecting customers into its trap every day, especially with the increasingly pervasive influence of media, both digital and social. There's more to beauty than the outward appearance, and we ought to focus more on that inner beauty that comes from the heart as the Bible admonishes in 1 Peter 3:3-4.
The song is about the struggles couples have in relationships with regard to the insecurities the partners grapple with about how they look. The guy acknowledges that he has certain odd peculiarities about his looks that others would easily recognize. The two of them have never had a conversation around it and, as a result, the guy is only left with speculations about what exactly goes on in the girl's mind. She has proven time and time again that she is committed to the relationship, but from the way she looks at the guy, it is evident that she notices what everyone else sees. Does she do that because it is just an obvious situation or does she secretly have concerns that she'd rather downplay or keep to herself? Some of them are highlighted in Verse 2: the concern over other people's opinions and what they will say, worries about the kids inheriting some of the limitations that he has, etc. The Bridge is the guy's stand as it were; quoting Shakespeare, he states that "things without remedy should be without regard." It's all about genetics, and he finds solace in the fact that he didn't choose the family he was born into and thus had no choice on the matter.
The song is about the party life of a young couple who are in a dating relationship, a period when they have a lot of time to have fun and enjoy a lot of the things that young couples like to do, in this case going out to social places to unwind and have fun. The guy has social anxiety and doesn't like parties, while the girl does. Despite the fact that he is antisocial, he enjoys a drink often, unlike the girl who drinks less frequently. On this night, instead of going out to a club or bar, he begs the girl to let them stay indoors, saying "I will be good I can promise ya" which implies that he has a wild side, especially when the liquor kicks in. He has plans to take the evening enjoying the company of his love, a time which usually ends in some really intimate moments between the two that tend to get a little crazy.
Turn the Tide is about war, fighting for your people and homes. The moment the aggressor learns they cannot defeat you. In honor of Ukraine and their people.
