Sitting down, sleeping city sidewalks
To see what light the darkness brings

A man in the moons, that coke kind of smile that I
Can't have smiling back at him

I start to spark a blade of grass
To see what dark and lightness brings
The old man under the other boxes
"Boy I seen so many things"

Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Don't fear
The end

I stumble up and streetlights flicker
Never got things so clean in the dawn
And something's always dying
Something's always been born
But if something's always been born
That means some things always die
And if no son plays on when this plays out
Then what's the use in trying?

Yeah
Yeah yeah
Don't fear
The end
Yeah
Don't fear
The end
Is near
Goodbye

When the motorcycle helm
Come, fall light as in the distance
So I hitch myself a ride
With three kind old sisters
We watch the runway step by
Two signs above a low cry
Lost exit and a one way out for me
To the west, to the north, to the south

I'm heading home in daylight
Dazzled by reflections of the sun
The shadow falls behind
'Cause I'm just the same as everyone

Yeah
Yeah yeah
Don't fear
The end

Hey
Don't fear
The end
Is near
Outside the road is turning
I'm falling through the sky
For at us in the distance
Three sisters standing by
Outside the road is turning
I'm falling through the sky
For at us in the distance
Three sisters standing by
Yeah
Yeah yeah
Don't fear
The end

    Pretty sure it's:

    "Outside the road is turning, I'm falling through the sky, Four riders in the distance, Three sisters standing by."

    Not, "For Hours"


    Great song. I can't stop listening to it!

    I think it's a song about death? About how we're all mortal, and we must all end?

    "'Cause I'm just the same as everyone."

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

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.

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.
