The colors were burning up his eyes
The bright lights of the city fade
Taking the chase to cover up your eyes
The white moon cast in space

Ooh, something's not right
I can feel it inside
Something's not right

You, you, you, you
You will take the breath from my throat
And you, you, you, you
You will take the challenge, we go about our war

Come inside
You will be one of us painless, one of us brainless
Go to sleep, this won't hurt a bit
Shifting your shape to ourselves

Ooh, something's not right
I can feel it inside
Something's not right

You, you, you, you
You will take the breath from my throat
And you, you, you, you
You will take the challenge, we go about our war

And they will try to make us forget ourselves
One by one, one by one
Call me crazy but they are after us
One by one, one by one

They are after us, I swear
Do you believe it, I believe it too

    Lots of these lyrics are wrong. Sherri posted the correct ones on the Eisley forum.

    the colorless words are burning our heels as the bright lights of the city fade taking the chase to curb our fear as the bloodless moon cast's it's face

    oh something's not right, i can feel it inside

    you would take the breath from my throat and you would take the cherished people that i hold

    all in time you will be one of us painless, us blameless go to sleep, this wont hurt a bit shifting your shape to our shells

    and they will try to make us forget ourselves one by one one by one call me crazy but they are after us one by one one by one you don't have to know the truth if you believe it, i believe it too

    oh something's not right, i can feel it inside

    you would take the breath from my throat and you would take the cherished people that i hold

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
