I'm in the wars
Can't speak for crying
Close all the doors
Since I am dying
Pick up the phone
Attempt to call her
I'm all alone
Until she answers

[Chorus]
Momentarily she brings peace to me
Momentarily she brings peace to me

She barely speaks
But I hear her breathing
And that's all I need
Someone who's listening
And still she stays
Her time is precious
Until I am safe
She gives her presence

[Chorus: x2]

    My Opinion

    It's about her best friend, Natale.

    I listened to this song just after a family member died. I think it's more of a spiritual visit, maybe justmy spin on it at the time but lines like "She barely speaks, but I hear her breathing" and "Until I'm safe, She gives her presence" and "Momentarily, she brings peace to me" just seem very much like a figure of sanctuary coming to her.

    Song Fact

    When she was a teenager, Sia used to bully a girl called Natale. Now she regrets everything that she's done to her and feels very sorry. She tried to contact Natale, but she didn't find any trace of her, so she wrote all of her feelings in this song for her. Sia hopes that Natale is now OK and that she has healed from all the complexes Sia had caused to her.

    After I've read these lyrics I understood that the situation with Sia bullying Natale was really serious...

    This song often makes me cry, Sia is so... desperate... I love her a lot and I hope that one day she'll hear from Natale.

    I think this song is about needing someone to listen and, and usually when someone listens to your problems you feel more at ease. and relief.

    This could be a song about lesbians, she's in love with another girl or about a best friend. Just someone that helps her and all she needs is her presence.

    I keep thinking in the chorus the lyrics are "mum and dad! please... she brings peace to me" Like someone said lesbian themed. Pleading that her parents understand she needs her to feel better in her life.

    Sia is a recovering drug addict, so I'm pretty sure this is about her relationship with her sponsor.

    Mary Jane is the lady on the other end of the phone.

    I hate saying drugs are being referenced in a song, but this is the only thing that makes sense to me.

    It's such an awesome song.

    My favorite line: "But I hear her breathing/That's all I need."

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

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.
