I talked to you today,
About all the troubled times,
When nothing goes,
Nothing goes away
And all the things
You’ve told me to believe in.
I’m alone,
In my reveries.
I’m alone,
In the pain you brought on.
I’m afraid,
That you won’t see me
And all the times we’ve had

I’ve been waiting here,
Waiting by the phone.
I’ve been touching you,
In my only thoughts.
Don’t you know,
That I’m still here.
Waiting for you to
Call me into your
Life insincere.

Left your stormy days,
Don’t you know you’re mine?
You see it all behind,
Don’t you see the sky?
I want us all together,
Do you know we’re right?
You leave us all denied,
Let you all decide.

You call me today,
With your enemies.
You call me today,
With your infinite dreams.
We talked about it,
You’re in my mind.
Digging caution,
Leaving you behind.

Left your own today,
Don’t you know you’re mine?
Left your own behind,
Can’t you see the sky?
It’s a stormy day,
Don’t you understand?
We’re in all behind,
Let you all defend.

Ah ah ah ah.
Take compassion,
Leaving you behind.

Left your own today,
Don’t you know you’re mine?
Left your own behind?
Can’t you see the sky?
See them fall behind,
Don’t you know you’re mine?
Left it all behind,
Can’t you do the same?
But can’t you do the same?
Left your own behind,
Leave us all behind,
Can’t you do the same?

    It's Waiting Hare, and Buckethead titled it that way because of his sense of humor. That much has been confirmed. As for the lyrics, I'm pretty sure it goes "Taking caution" instead of "Digging caution" or "Take compassion"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

American Town

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.
