To The Ground

Smile Empty Soul

You are my light
You are my fire

The only one that's not a lie

You get me through all of my days
And keep me numb to the pain

When I'm lonely
When I'm calling out
Scream for a friend
You always hear the sound
Keep me happy
Keep me happy now
When all the world around
Crumbles to the ground

Crumbles to the ground

You keep me calm when I'm not fine
You take the pressure off of mind

And even though I don't see clear
I feel safe cause your here

When I'm lonely
When I'm calling out
Scream for a friend
You always hear the sound
Keep me happy
Keep me happy now
When all the world around
Crumbles to the ground

Crumbles to the ground

Mind's too fucked up
To really see
To really see

Your the best friend
Who's killing me
It's killing me

You get me through all of my days
And keep me numb to the pain

When I'm lonely
When I'm calling out
Scream for a friend
You always hear the sound
Keep me happy
Keep me happy now
When all the world around
Crumbles to the ground

Crumbles to the ground
Crumbles to the ground
Crumbles to the ground

    it's about an addiction to some kind of opiate probably Heroin or Oxys

    How do I figure? all my ex singers are all the same painful withdrawals and everything I don't know don't listen to me right now I'm kinda out of my head myself

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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.

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.
