Peace Now! (x4) We are gathered here, we come from so many different places, from different identities, different cultures, different backrounds, different religions, and yet we can gather under the god of - Peace Now! (x2) We say no to war, peace up, war down. (x2) We made it, we're here, we're here right now and we're not leaving. We had more reports that more and more people are just taking on-ramps onto the bridge, and they're just taking it over, it's, it's just, i mean, i just, ahhh. This is what democracy looks like, this is what democracy sounds like (x2) Reports from protests in Aman Jordan, and Amsterdam, Berut Lebanon, Nili East-Timor, Florence Italy, London, Milano Italy, Paris France. In dozens of cities, in Spain, reports in Athens Georgia, and Austin Texas, Waxford Virginia, Charleston South Carolina, Colorado Springs, and Defiance Ohio, Denver Colorado as well as Durango, Geneva New York, and Houston Texas, Hyannis Massachusetts, in Hawaii as well, Lorence Kansas, Los Angeles California, and I am only naming a few. Peace Now! (x2) And as Eleanor Roosevelt said, "It isn't enough to talk about peace, one must believe in it. It isn't enough to believe in it, one must work at it. And we here today are working at it." No blood for oil. We will not be silent. No blood for oil. We will not go to war for a selected President who wasn't even elected. We must stand unbroken, unvowed, and unattained. We need health care, we need education, we need FREEDOM IN THIS NATION (x4) Thousands of people have taken over 3rd Avenue and are marching north. The crowd stretches at least 15 blocks from 44th Street to 59th Street. The police have just simply given up. This is what democracy looks like, this is what democracy sounds like (x2) Peace Now! (x2) We will not sell-out, we will not back down, we will not compromise, we will go forward until peace is on the World agenda. We say no to war, NO WAR! (x3) -

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.

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.

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.
