The darkest nights will fall on you
The wheels will turn and try to grind you down
The waves will crash down on your boat
And you feel the tension as you hit the ground
But I know that there's more to this life
Than your anger and your pain
Our flesh our blood our bones
Were meant to handle anything

Call to me
Crawl to me
The Blade is not the answer

So you rage against society
You rage against the world that gives you life
A troubled soul in troubled times
A troubled hand reaches for the knife
Oh I wish that my phone would have rang
And you'd be at the other end
I could take the blame
I should have been a better friend

Call to me
Crawl to me
The Blade is not the answer

So, you've come to this
At the end of your rope
At the edge of a cliff
Man you should've held on

Call to me
Crawl to me
The Blade is not the answer

    This song is about one of TJ's friends who had committed suicide. In my opinion this is the best song the band has put together so far. It's very truthful and can help save people's lives.

    I agree that This is one of the best songs that Last Conservative has. TJ looked like he really cared about his friend when he sang this song yesterday.. (but I cant say that its my fav song because I already told Dave that my fav song was "Over My Head"

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.

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.
