Is this the start of it?
Has this become a part of it?
Maybe we should've slowed down
it was the taste of it,
and this is how we wasted it.
Maybe we'll get it back somehow

It made me furious,
You said that if we bury this.
Never could dig up the past,
I couldn't handle it
I thought I could dismantle it.
Maybe some things weren't meant to last.

Kids of the frozen front range,
Carry the message if I fall.
Tell them we're moving on
sorting out who our enemies are.

I've seen it, you say I don't believe it
it's either or...

Tell me it's over or everything you hoped for
Tell me either way,
I know you know I never let this go

You've got the upper hand
wrapped tight around my neck again.
And i can't get the words out.
If you were listening
you'd hear the voice or reasoning
telling you to walk away from this somehow.

Kids of the frozen front range
Carry the message if i i fall
Tell them we're moving on
Sorting out who our enemies are

I need this, you can't deny you feel it
it's either or...

Tell me its over or everything you hoped for
Tell me either way,
I know you know I never let this...
tell me its over or everything you hoped for
Tell me either way,
I know you know I never let this go

Okay in the first degree,
there's nothing wrong with me.

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”

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.
