mom and dad cant remember if i told ya
how glad i am i finally got to know ya
years from when we met after i left home

let me sing you sweet and distant fictions
on lonely nights you would lay and listen
if you dont like it wait until i fix it

the morning comes and cops invade my conscience
i run around the house of heated atom
cant forsee the outcome you can lean to one side

if ever i should seem to take for granted
this lovely life that i have been handed
darlin dont just stand there, come knock me around

because i know that i can ride my way out of this black hole
back to all the things that i missed
sometimes i wonder if i even exist
add another line to my wish list

the overview is not the same as going through
the present joy and all it took to come to this
to know the ending would be pretending

they took my words and wrote them off as passin
it pissed me off enough to keep me writing
go make your living boy, ill go home fighting

cause i know i can ride my way out of this black hole
back to all the things that i missed
you stay, digging at your own little dish
its just another thing on my wish list

if i should slide over and under
you know i just might
stay until i get it right

some people say im corny or im morbid
i always thought i was touching, i was tragic
one mans magic, is anothers plastic

well which one is it, am i sweetness am i sickness
if i say both youll say i lack commitment
of course youre right, of course im right

but i know i can ride my way out of this black hole
back to all the things that i missed
sometimes i dont even know you exist
its just another thing on my wish list

    the morning comes and cops invade my conscience then morning comes and cops invade...

    i run around the house of heated atom I run around the house a heated atom

    Because i know i can ride my way (cuz) I know, i can write my way

    back to all the things that i missed back to all the things that i miss

    you stay, digging at your own little dish you stay digging at your own little ditch

    its just another thing on my wish list That's just another thing on my wish list

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
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.
Album art
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.
