I looked up,
saw a cloud
floating by
without a sound.

Banana slugs do
their yin-yang thing,
A hermaphroditic
little fling.

    there's a whole chunk missing!

    I looked up saw a cloud floating by without a sound Banana slugs do their yin/yang thing A hermaphroditic little fling I looked up saw a cloud floating by without a sound

    I looked up saw a cloud floating by without a sound Banana slugs do their yin/yang thing A hermaphroditic little fling I looked up saw a cloud floating by without a sound

    Last night I woke up startled from another falling dream It was embedded in my memory From when my family went through trees I read a lot of books about the future of the sun And how my great-great-great-great-great grandfather Might have been a monkeys son.

    There’s a man right on the corner with a withered wrinkled face He says that planet earth is not his home Though he comes from outer space And we're all full of questions that we would like to know Just exactly where we came from, and exactly where we'll go

    Though I know my limitations, and I know that I don’t know But still I know the constellations, and I know the falling snow And we're all full of questions that we would like to know Just exactly where we came from, and exactly where we'll go

    Banana ,banana, banana bump x4

    (I too…I know too…)

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.

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.

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.
