    I think theres so many things in the world that are threatening to end that could be influencing lyrics. I don't think this is about any personal relationship. Especially if it was recorded over a year ago.

    And there's like a reference to a secret (not the won't tell ones). This to me suggests extra-curricular marital affairs, like Sleeping by self. That would border

    taboo, shameful topic etc and should not be but is cuz of the christianity construct of marriage versus people accepted as animals who just like to f@**

    Wreckage is definitely about the ending of a relationship.  I can definitely see how other songs on the record could be interpreted that way as well but songs like Scared of Fear to me is more of Ed reflecting back to a time when his fellow musician friends were all alive.  I think Setting Sun also reflects back on that as well.  
    But I think people should keep in mind that half of this record was recorded 3 years ago before they start speculating....
    Dark Matter was recorded over 2 recording sessions.  The first in July 2021, the 2nd in March 2023.

    Listened for the first time last night. All throughout the album I hear relationship issues with a significant other 🤷🏼‍♂️. It is definitely a dark/sad album lyrically

    I get the feeling it’s a reckoning with the reality that death is certain, and life is not.

    I think that is the most accurate and concise evaluation I have seen yet. Included in that context are relationship endings of all types.

    Whether your wife leaves with the reaper or leaves with the milkman, you will never see her again 😉
