I'd just like to reverse the roles just for a day or forever. It’d be a day to remember.
Where you’d get a chance to taste your blood so heartless.
See the torture through the eyes of the predetermined dead.
Murder is a family value in almost every home.
Murder is a family value three times a day.
Beaten senseless to a bloody mess. Burned alive and completely drowned to death.
Feel the fear. Taste the pain. Take the guilt to your grave.
Throat cut ear to ear. Suffocate. There's no waking up from this nightmare.
Bare witness to this nightmare.
I’d just like to reverse the roles just for a day or forever. It’d be a day to remember.
You can watch your loved ones meet their maker.
Single filed death march. You would sing a different tune if this happened to you.
Murder is a family value almost every day.
Murder is a family value three times a day.
There will be no more blood the day (the day) injustice dies.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
