For you I'm a good for nothing woman
Red lips, red leaves
Fall on my knees like autumn
I miss cigarettes every single day of my life
When you make love to me,
I close my eyes and pray you'll say "goodbye"

Damn! She's dawning on me!
Finally dawning on me
She's dawning on me, she's beautiful!
It's not that you don't know what love means,
It's just that you do not love me...

Cold wind whispering in my lonely ear,
Telling me that heartbreak is drawing near
You so hungry, baby, you'll eat
Anything on your plate
Guess you don't go home no more,
Cause you got a secret date
You gotta hit me on the head a few times
So blind with wishes,
I can't see past your smiliness
I miss Nick-o-liss every single day of my life
Gimme back all my DOA records,
Or I'll show you right!

Damn! She's dawning on me!
Finally dawning on me
She's dawning on me, she's beautiful!
It's not that you don't know what love means,
It's just that you love her and not me

    ok, if you listen to the song u would gather that "shes dawning on me" actually means that she finally sees that her bf is cheating on her.

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”

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
