Burn! Your! Friends! [Repeat: x4]

Living is easy
With your eyes closed by and by
Do you wake up
Do you wake up and cry at night
The evil inside
That breaks right through the light
With hard times and long goodbyes

Take me
Into your dark dream
And scream so loud this place
Fills with misery
Suffer the kiss
And take me out alive.

We are those things that you despise
(We will sing)
We are the suffering alive

Burn! Your! Friends! [Repeat: x4]

Shadows and hearts
In which to carry your rule aloud
Can you believe we are
The shock of existence now
Something's amiss
And this generation has been found
We're brought to the underground

Waste me to your dark dream
And taste me until all I see
A thousand sparks we fake
Love futility
I see the rain

We are those things that you despise
(We will sing)
We are the suffering alive tonight
(Suffering)

We are those things that you despise
(We will sing)
We are he suffering alive tonight

This time we're coming home worthless
This time, this time alive [Repeat: x8]

We will sing

We are those things that you despise
(We will sing)
We are the suffering alive tonight
(Suffering)

We are those things that you despise
(We will sing)
We are the suffering alive

    this song is beautiful! i think that the main message of the song is talking about the punk/emo/different kids that are looked down upon by society. that is evident in the lyrics. However in the part were it says "and taste me until all i see a thousand sparks we fake love futility" i think that he's talking about sex for some reason.

    Yeah it's about how certain groups of people always have some sort of message attached to them like 'oh if you're a cheerleader you must be stuck up and rich' or 'oh you like rainbows you must be gay'... not just the goth or punk kids. Any group of people will have a stereotype about them. I think it's also about how depression and how it can mix in with people's lives.

    Well in reply to what Aidenpunkgirl says. I agree with her about the fact that this song is talking about different groups/cliques of people and how everyone should just be a family and get along like wiL says at like every show. But the part where it says, "A thousand sparks We fake love futility" they are pretty much saying 'some people think it's worthless for us to try to love each other because it will never happen' because futility means not worth it, so saying to fake love futility it's say it's pointless to pretend because it's worthless, it's not going to happen.

    by the way, whoever typed up these lyrics, it's "A thousand sparks We fake love futility" not utility. I have the lyrics booklet and utility doesn't make sense.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
