My, my what a mess we've made
Of our pretty little heads these days
It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently
Best wishes have been made for you
You never had no say it's true
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
Are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

My, my what a mess was made of my head
When I heard what you'd been through that day
It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently
Letters meant to be sent have been torn
The phone lies off the hook, on the floor
All these "I'm sorry"s and "I miss you"s are useless,
I fucked this one up long ago
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
Are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
And although it's all my fault,
The blaming myself had to come to an end
So I say:
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
You won't catch me behind the wheel
Of a Chrysler ever again

My, my what a mess we've made
Of our precious little lives these days
It appears a big fucking tornado
Has twisted us up recently
Best wishes have been made for you
You never had no say it's true
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
Are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
And although it's all my fault,
The blaming myself had to come to an end
So I say:
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
You won't catch me behind the wheel
Of a Chrysler ever again

    It's pretty cool when he gets to the chorus, it's a little too slow for my liking, still a good song, no idea what it's about. :crazy:

    I'm still thinking about this song, because there is Aurora, CO. (And probably other places named Aurora too.) There's also an Oldsmobile Aurora. It's funny because I was listening to this song quite a while ago, trying to think about what Aurora meant. I was driving my car, and I looked up and right in front of me a car said "aurora" on the back and it just hit me. So, I'm not sure if they're talking about a town or possibly a car. Like maybe a car crash... you took my only friend.. you won't catch me behind the wheel of a chrysler ever again...

    Aurora is also a girls name. I always went back and forth between thinking it was a person and a car, but the way that he uses the second person, saying things like "All your lonely nights" and "you have to be the cutest gravedigger i've ever seen" leads me to think it's about a person, but I can't be sure of that. My freinds and I often discuss this but can never really come up with a real answer.

    I think this song is funny just because my cousin's name is Aurora. Other than that its a sad song

    But why is it his fault? That his friend got killed by a driver in this town of Aurora?

    Well it could be his fault for a variety of reasons. The guy was shit-faced and took the guy's car and crashed and died and the guy is saying "it's my fault, I never should've let you take my car". He doesn't want to drive a Chrysler because it will remind him of his 'mistake' and he hates the town because that's where his friend died.

    Besides this, this is a kick-ass song. Again, awesome lyrics. I love AT.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
Album art
Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
