She drips down the walls while I unravel like a web
My body quivers in the silence as she chains me to the bed

Sit back, let the, chemicals find their way into my head tonight
She's my lover, I'm a victim
Not an addict, and I hope I can shake it

She'll scream my name
She'll take everything
If I can play her game
I can stay

She drips down the walls while I unravel like a web
My body quivers in the silence as she chains me to the bed
She wants all of the glory
The latest story of my life, is that the devil's at my door tonight

Get down, let's dance, while I melt in your hands
Take back everything you said tonight
She's my angel, and I'm the wicked
I've got a feeling and I hope I can fake it

She'll scream my name
She'll take everything
If I can play her game
I can stay

She drips down the walls while I unravel like a web
My body quivers in the silence as she chains me to the bed
She wants all of the glory
The latest story of my life, is that the devil's at my door tonight

It's not what I expected
I'm too young to disappear
If I don't turn around and try to fight this never-ending fear
I've lost this battle but I'm still in the war
And I'm trying, but the devil's at my door

She drips down the walls while I unravel like a web
My body quivers in the silence as she chains me to the bed
She wants all of the glory
The latest story of my life, is that the devil's at my door tonight

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.

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
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.
