Release me

No remnants were ever found of it
Feeling the hot bile
With every fake smile
Though no evidence was ever found it never went away completely

I try to appellate a holy sound of it
Another day gone
Another night's drawn
Dark forces pull me underground and never went away completely

How can I feel this empty
I will not recover this time
This loneliness is killing me

Will I ever know peace of mind again
I don't believe it
I can't achieve it
I think I know it's just another sign that never went away completely

Terror is coursing in me
Can you find a moment
Where I have to be
And feel you die

In asylum (I live a lie)
Don't you know I'm in love with you and I wasn't ready
For asylum (relive a lie)
To let go
Now it's dragging me into your grave
Your asylum (forget the lie)
Overcome and the feeling that I won't get to join you in time
But the loneliness is killing me, yeah!

Death's images are all around again
They're right behind me
They're gonna find me
Judge me for my mortal sin that have enveloped me completely

I know I'll never know a peaceful night again
Afraid they'll hear me
They don't fear me
Punishment for me of a moral crime the debt was never paid completely

Terror is coursing in me
Can you find a moment
Where I have to be
And feel you die

In asylum (I live a lie)
Don't you know I'm in love with you and I wasn't ready
For asylum (relive a lie)
To let go
Now it's dragging me into your grave
Your asylum (forget the lie)
Overcome and the feeling that I won't get to join you in time
But the loneliness is killing me

In the end there will be no suffering (more suffering)
In the end we will find out everything (not everything)
In the end you may question your belief (what belief?)
In the end you will realize someday
How you were deceived

This has gone on too long (too long)
No more demonic race
Destroyer come to light
Because the memory is killing me

In asylum (I live a lie)
I let go now it's dragging me into your grave
For asylum (we live a lie)
Overcome and the feeling that I won't get to join you time (without you)
This world is not fulfilling me

Don't make me live in asylum
I live alive
Don't want to live in asylum
I live a lie
Don't make me live in asylum
I am a lie

    Awesome song. Does anyone else get the feeling that the events of this song are the aftermath of the events of Inside the Fire?

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
