I'm watching you become a man
Well, how does it feel to be living
This wild enchanting dragon whipping?

You stepped into my better life
Without a seam out of place and I wondered
When you'd struggle from your neatly pleated covers

'Cause I saw you in my life in the end
For better or best you would be my man

I wanna throw you up against the hard white wall
And make you mine, and make you mine
But there is time I must be gentle with
This rare chance taking wonder child
Make it through the jungle and I'll meet you on the other side

'Cause there was magic in our dancing tonight
For better or best you would be my man
Man, don't you wanna dance?

To the swing of the Bach Courante
To the sway of the leaving trains
To the swish of your lash, I cry
To the soar of the shadows
To the hustle of chance
To the mystery in our hands

'Cause you've been moving
Through my wintery night for a long time
And snow has fallen at our feet
We watched the tracks of blood disappear
And you, you, you, you stood by me

So I will go on leaving nothing behind
Leaving nothing behind, you would be my man

The hard white wall, oh
Up against the hard white wall, oh
You're my hard white wall, oh

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
