So here we fall, and here we break
and all that we had, is now just a mistake.
I guess it got boring and old,
So what have you done, you left me alone

You got your things, you got them all,
You know thers nothing you wont have,
and Im afraid I dont got the cash,
to keep you happy, and Im upset,
cause you show me the ill not free, that you need big fat limosenes,
to keep you high, to keep you safe, keep you in love.

What if i change for you, then will you see me, still with you.
I 'd never do it; Im no fool.

So here we fall, and here we break
And all that we had, is now just a mistake.
You look so young, feel so misled
And your stuffy friends have gone to your head

You got your things, you got them all,
You know thers nothing you wont have,
and Im afraid I dont got the cash,
to keep you happy, and Im upset,
cause you show me the ill not free, that you need big fat limosenes,
to keep you high, to keep you safe, keep you in love.

What if i change for you, then will you see me, still with you.
I 'd never do it; Im no fool.

Honey Im not you.

I walk away, thinking back to the days, that I held you close
with your puffy white coat, and you told me joe, I could never let go
"I need you more, then life it's self", and the rain poured down
and I kept you dry, and I took the tears fallen from your eyes, and the snow came down
and I kept you warm, and I kept you safe from your daddys dorm, when he said to you
that you cant see me, "all those pools boys got nothing good to be", now they got to you,
and what do you say, you want some rich guy instead of me.

What if i change for you, then will you see me, still with you.
I 'd never do it; Im no fool.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
