No, it never crossed my mind
You might try to hide from me
You would set the place on fire
With your long and broken wrecking shriek

Always aiming for the truth
Sometimes missing just one word
Something really shaken loose
Look around to the see the cities burn

It's just the way I'm feelin'
We're lost without the meanin'
The love has disappeared without a trace

It's just the way I'm feelin'
You're gone and now I'm leavin'
I'm holding back the tears
Look at my face
It's just the way I'm feelin'

You were never forced to choose
I tried to keep you safe from harm
And now there's nothing left to lose
You've gone and torn my world apart
All that's left for me is you
I'm a shadow of my former self

It's just the way I'm feelin'
But lost without the meanin'
Love has disappeared without a trace

It's just the way I'm feelin'
You're gone and now I'm leavin'
I'm holding back the tears
Look at my face

It's just the way I'm feelin'
We're lost without the meanin'
Love has disappeared without a trace

It's just the way I'm feelin'
You're gone and now I'm leavin'
I'm holding back the tears
Look at my face
It's just the way I'm feelin'

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
