Woke from dreaming
But it took convincing
I was shaking screaming
I was still alive

And you were picking strangers by the side of roadways
Little little let the danger unfold

You can do what you do
If you think you'll take it
You can do what you do
If you are that way inclined

Suffer with silk
As the pressure's tighter
You have skin pale as milk
With the pressure on

My heart is getting heavy and my hands are weak now
Hatred lifting and I'll start to weep now

You can do what you do
If you think you'll take it
You can do what you do
If you are that way inclined

Just for a moment
Can we take a little time
Just stop for a moment
Can we make this moment mine

I've tried to let go but I've never had much to say
Take a day take them all now

Just for a moment
Can we take a little time
Just stop for a moment
Can we look inside this mind

We try to control but we never quite know what's there
We will kill if we need to...

Just for a moment
Can we take a little time
Just stop for a moment
Can we make this moment mine

I've tried to let go but I've never had much to say...

    So many different ways to see this song... The line:

    "We will kill if we need to..."

    Always gives me chills... Down song mostly yet the end is sort of upbeat and bewm that line kicks in... Wonderful!!!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
