When passion's lost
And all the trust is gone
Way too far, for way too long
Children crying, cast out and neglected
Only in a world so cold
Only in a world this cold

Hold the hand of your best friend
Look into their eyes
Then watch them drift away
Some might say, we've done the wrong things
For way too long, for way too long

Fever inside the storm
So I'm turning away
Away from the name (calling your names)
Away from the stones (throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

Keep your thorns
'Cause I'm running away
Away from the games (fucking head games)
Away from the space (hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

Burning whispers remind me of the days
I was left alone in a world this cold
Guilty of the same things, provoked by the cause
I've left alone in a world so cold

Fever inside the storm
So I'm turning away
Away from the name (calling your names)
Away from the stones (throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

Keep your thorns
'Cause I'm running away
Away from the games (fucking head games)
Away from the space (hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

Oh, I'm flying, I'm flying away
Away from the names (calling your names)
Away from the games (fucking head games)
The circumstances of a world so cold

Why does everyone feel like my enemy?
Don't want any part of depression or darkness
I've had enough
Sick and tired, bring the sun
Or I'm gone, or I'm gone

I'm backing out, I'm no pawn
No motherfucking slave to this
Never lied, never left, never lived, never loved
Never lost, never hurt, never worry about being me, or anyone else
Not a care, no concern
Don't give a shit about anything

Backing out, giving in
No motherfucking slave to this
Never lied, never left, never lived, never loved
Never lost, never hurt, never worry about being me, or anyone else
Not a care, no concern
Don't give a shit about anything

I need to find a darkened corner
A lightless corner
Where it's safer and calmer

I'm turning away
Away from the name (calling your names)
Away from the stones (throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

I'm running away
Away from the games (fucking head games)
Away from the space (hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

I'm flying, I'm flying away
Away from the names (calling your names)
Away from the games (fucking head games)
The circumstances of a world so cold

    Great song. It has a great melody. Plus I like the parts where Ryan comes in and harmonize with Chad, really cool. I can't wait for the video!

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
