Let's pretend we're far away
Away from problems found each day
Silent drift Echo faddes Radiates softly and then delays
Will I fall if I make a mistake
Can I make an escape with you
My confidence is draining
My happiness is raining down on me
My ego is craving without you I'm falling
I step into darkness, Can you hear me calling? Calling for you,
Calling, Calling, for you,

Will you break me out set me free
WIll you take my soul away from me
Will you break me out set me free
WIll you take my soul away from me

Am I lost if I stray out too far
WIll you bring me back in with you

My confidence is draining
My happiness is raining down on me
My ego is craving without you I'm falling
I step into darkness, Can you hear me calling? Calling for you,
Calling, Calling, for you,

Will you break me out set me free
WIll you take my soul away from me
Will you break me out set me free
WIll you take my soul away from me

Help, I need you, to swallow me up
Help, I need you, to swallow me up

Locked inside, I keep withering away
Cover me up, and take away the key
But if you find it in your heart I beg you please
And if you want to break me out, then,
SET ME FREE!

    It sounds like this guy is caught within himself, probably he was a big shot, but was dumped or something like that, and totally lost all self confidence. He obviously is lost without her, and begs for her back... Anyway awesome song I love trapt so much :) wish i could see em! Chris brown rocks! \m/

    This is actually by Trapt. But there are a few songs on the net that ppl claim are Trapt's that arent really. I made a myspace for them with their old songs from "Glimpse" and "Amalgamation" (With Chris's permission lol) and two of the songs I put on there, he informed me were wrong. "Brave" and some other one that I dont remember... But yeah. This song is awesome :)

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

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.
