Setting up my battlements
Waiting for the guilt to come
Like armies have intent
Turning me to face someone
Who looks a million loving nights
And every stolen glance pulls me in deeper

lay off my back and look at stars
Think of all the love we gave
He writes it down for me
But I've already turned the page
And I feel the ground beneath me give
Close around my eyes and I am sleepy

where in my life did this begin
What happens now
If I admit

I'm tempted by your touch
I'm tempted by your moves
I don't know where to look
Don't wanna have to choose
Coz I'm tempted and I know
Where this is leading to
If I surrender now
If I give in to you
Give in to youuuu
Give in to youuuu

like water through my hands
Your propositions come
He's writing in the sand
I'm staring at the sun

and promises and memories
All dance before my eyes
But have no meaning

where in my life
Is this gona end?
Where do we go
If I admit

I'm tempted by your touch
I'm tempted by your moves
I don't know where to look
Don't wanna have to choose
Coz I'm tempted and I know
What this is leading to
If I surrender now
If I give in to you
Give in to youuuu
Give in to youuuu

I don't wana hear the question
I'm scared of my confession
Ill save it for another day
Ohhh
Can't even deal with maybe
Coz nothings gona save me
Ever hear me say
That I'm tempted

I'm tempted by your touch
I'm tempted by your moves
I don't know where to look
Don't wanna have to choose
Coz I'm tempted and I know
What this is leading to
If I surrender now
If I give in to you
Give in to youuuu
Give in yo youuuu
(Repeat to end

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
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.
Album art
Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
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.
Album art
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.
