We've been a burden though we were kept alive.
By the ones we've forsaken, by the ones at our side.
The truth we've found is out there lost in everything.
We can show the way for the wandering.

When we're young we're so naive.
It never ends unless you seek the beauty hidden underneath.
It never ends unless you seek (it never ends unless you seek).
It never ends unless you seek, you'll find out who you are.

It's easy to see we're running out of time.
The walls are collapsing.
They're coming down on me (coming down coming down).
And nothing's as it seems.
This world is in ruins you can't believe what you see.
Don't you see, don't you see?

Don't you desire to see the truth?

This is what you wanted.
This is what you needed.
This is what you wanted.
This is what you needed.

Truth is out there, just believe.
Truth is out there, just believe.

It's easy to see we're running out of time.
The walls are collapsing.
They're coming down on me (coming down, coming down).
And nothing's as it seems.
This world is in ruins you can't believe what you see.
Don't you see, don't you see?

This world is over!
This world is over!
This world is over!
This world is over!

    woops! my bad. it was supposed to be this. haha.... "Dream Catcher" is probably my favorite title of all the songs on the album. It really describes what the song is about. I wanted to retain some positivity on our album, and since our band have always been a band of hope, I felt we needed something almost inspirational. This song is about not living your life with a blind eye to reality, but instead opening your eyes to see the truth. It's about seeing that however bad things get, there’s so much beauty in this world. There is so much good. It's not worth living a life being naive. Too many people are afraid of searching for deeper meaning in their lives. Musically, the song is a bit slower than a lot of the others, but it ends with a bang."

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
Album art
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. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
