This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Last night I had that dream again
My world was black as night
Plagued by visions of a future world
Mr L, did you take your meds?
I sang about these dreams
Warning man of his demise
Wasted words that no one heard
Won't you please relax? I'll make your bed
Today I had that dream again
I roamed among the stars
On the wings of an amazing flight
Mr L, do you feel OK?
To a place beyond our time
Where the sunlight doesn't warm
And colour bleeds into the night
We may have to increase your dose today
I know the truth is out there
Didn't you want to see?
I know the truth is in here
Why should we believe you?
Didn't you want to flee
Now I have that dream again
I live beneath the waves
In a ground of grace and majesty
Mr L can I ease your mind
In the distant shadows loom
Cold machines rise from the deep
In a world once proud and free
Would you free your thoughts, let it all abide
I hate to have that dream again
They live inside my head
Feeling everything I feel inside
Mr L can you please be still?
They speak to me in dreams
They can see all I can see
They have always been my guide
Gotta hush now, please have another pill
I know the truth is out there
Why should we believe you?
Didn't you want to see
I know the truth is here
Why should we deceive you?
Didn't you want to feel?
We are all alone
There's no one there
You don't have to be afraid
Can't you see through this masquerade?
We are all alone
We are all clones
There's no one there
I am so scared
You don't have to be afraid
Last night I had that dream again
My world was black as night
Plagued by visions of a future world
Mr L, would you take your rest?
They speak to me in dreams
They could see all I can see
They have always been my guide
Won't you please relax? I'll make your bed
I know the truth is out there
Why should we believe you?
Didn't you want to see
Why should we deceive you?
I know the truth is in here
Why should we believe you?
Didn't you want to feel?
My world was black as night
Plagued by visions of a future world
Mr L, did you take your meds?
I sang about these dreams
Warning man of his demise
Wasted words that no one heard
Won't you please relax? I'll make your bed
Today I had that dream again
I roamed among the stars
On the wings of an amazing flight
Mr L, do you feel OK?
To a place beyond our time
Where the sunlight doesn't warm
And colour bleeds into the night
We may have to increase your dose today
I know the truth is out there
Didn't you want to see?
I know the truth is in here
Why should we believe you?
Didn't you want to flee
Now I have that dream again
I live beneath the waves
In a ground of grace and majesty
Mr L can I ease your mind
In the distant shadows loom
Cold machines rise from the deep
In a world once proud and free
Would you free your thoughts, let it all abide
I hate to have that dream again
They live inside my head
Feeling everything I feel inside
Mr L can you please be still?
They speak to me in dreams
They can see all I can see
They have always been my guide
Gotta hush now, please have another pill
I know the truth is out there
Why should we believe you?
Didn't you want to see
I know the truth is here
Why should we deceive you?
Didn't you want to feel?
We are all alone
There's no one there
You don't have to be afraid
Can't you see through this masquerade?
We are all alone
We are all clones
There's no one there
I am so scared
You don't have to be afraid
Last night I had that dream again
My world was black as night
Plagued by visions of a future world
Mr L, would you take your rest?
They speak to me in dreams
They could see all I can see
They have always been my guide
Won't you please relax? I'll make your bed
I know the truth is out there
Why should we believe you?
Didn't you want to see
Why should we deceive you?
I know the truth is in here
Why should we believe you?
Didn't you want to feel?

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”
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
"This is the third song differing from the Forevers storyline. This time, the protagonist is Mr. L (Arjen Lucassen), a mentally ill man in an asylum and his nurse (Liselotte Hegt). Mr. L has had a weird dream several nights, showing him visions of the future world, warnings of man's demise, amazing flights through the stars, a life beneath the waves and cold machines rising from the deep. Obviously, his nurse is worried, asking him if he has taken his meds, to relax, wondering if he feels OK, even suggesting to increase the dose. Soon after, Mr. L, who reveals that they have spoken to him on the dreams, claims that "The truth is out there/is in here", but his nurse ask "Why should we believe you?" and forces him to take another pill. In the end Mr. L is scared, yelling that they are all clones, while the nurse calms him, assuring that they are alone.
Several of the lines sung by Mr. L make a reference to Into the Electric Castle. He claims that he "Rode among the stars on the wings of an amazing flight" and that he dreamt of "A place beyond our time where the sunlight doesn't warm and colours bleed into the night". This has lead to the speculation of Mr. L being the now aged Hippie from Into the Electric Castle and Merlin's promised new prophet of Ayreon's visions from The Final Experiment." -wiki
