When the conflict never ceases
And the enemies are immortal
Only their names and faces change
So a stance must always be held

Claw at my pride you facade tears away
Another day dies, I'm looking, I'm lasting
Attempt to break my stride, fall deeper, tread faster
Another cry ignored, the most desolation

If the conflict must last forever
So must our struggle for justice
In a state of faith denied
Is it any wonder where the answers lie?

Enemies never die
Conflict is unending
Chaos never ceases
Where does the solution lie?

Claw at my pride your facade tears away
Another day dies, I'm looking, I'm lasting
Attempt to break my stride, fall deeper, tread faster
Another cry ignored, the most desolation

If the conflict must last forever
So must our struggle for justice
In a state of faith denied
Is it any wonder where the answers lie?

Enemies never die
Conflict is unending
Chaos never ceases
Where does the solution lie?

When the conflict never ceases
And the enemies are immortal
Only their names and faces change.
So a stance must always be held

Enemies never die
Conflict is unending
Chaos never ceases
Where does the solution lie?

    My Interpretation

    Really comes down to what you perceive as your "enemy".

    It could be singing about human's flaws ... greed, hate, selfishness, pride, ego etc. That is these characteristics that humans have and will always have, and thus inevitably these will lead to war, conflict, chaos in the world. So although humans are mortal, these flaws are immortal.

    It could also have religious connotations. "Evil" is always there tempting humanity, is God / religion your only "solution"?

    Or could be something more personal (although doesn't seem as likely given some of the lines). In this circumstance the "enemy" is more your internal demons, such as depression, regret, doubt etc. etc. These "demons" you may defeat but they can re-surface anytime and it is an ongoing internal struggle to defeat them (keep them at bay) for a lifetime ... they can not be "killed".

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.

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.
