Well I'll see you around
I don't want to stay and drown
The drama got too thick
Makes me sick
And I don't want to talk about it
I already thought about it
Stripped down of my pride
Well I shed them tears and dried these eyes

It was fun at the start
But maybe we're worlds apart
Facing different ways
Different plains
And I don't want to drag it out and
I just gotta get on out and
Leave it all behind
It's time so don't deny it

I want to know
Does it show on my face
I'm sick of this place
I want to move on
Coz the feeling is gone yeah
I want to see
Is it me out the door
I told you before
I want to have fun and it's just begun

I've seen the light
Tried to talk about it
If you were ever down for me
Just stop
And you'd see
You know I'm right
And it showed in your eyes
What we had shared had run empty
So let it be
Let it be

I want to know
Does it show on my face
I'm sick of this place
I want to move on cause the feeling is gone yeah
I want to see
Is it me out the door
I said it before
I want to move on and it's just begun

    I think this song is about them not sounding punk on ELVA and Here's To The Mourning. They were sick of being a punk band and wanted something more. They were a punk band in the beginning ("well it was fun at the start"), but maybe UL was really destined to go on and do other things ("but maybe we're worlds apart"). They got sick of all the hecticity within the Southern CA surf/skate/punk scene with fashion and egos turning the tables and didn't want to "stay and drown" because "the drama got too thick". The rest of the song is pretty self-explanatory from my point of view.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Amazing
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 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.
