I feel my wings have broken in your hands
I feel the words unspoken inside
And they pull you under
And I would give you anything you want, know
You were all I wanted
And all my dreams are falling down
Crawling around

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through and
Save me
I don't care how you do it
Just stay, stay
Come on
I've been waiting for you

I see the world has folded in your heart
I feel the waves crash down inside
And they pulled me under
I would give you anything you want, know
You were all I wanted
And all my dreams have fallen down
Crawling around

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just stay, stay
Come on
I've been waiting for you

Crawling around

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save me
I made this whole world shine for you
Just stay, stay
Come on
I'm still waiting for you

    Well I think is about someone that is trapped or is suffering too much and wants o be saved but wants that someone realize that is in pain for his/her own "let your warm hands break right thru".

    and because of this line: "i feel my wings have broken in your hands" I think is about a close person maybe a girlfriend/boyfriend or even a family member.

    And about the superman thing "and all my dreams are on the ground crawling around around" that pretty much talk about how clark fels like his dreams are destroyed because he is not normal.

    (:

    This is the theme song to the WB's "Smallville". It fits, don't you think?

    To me they guy is pleading with a girl to see him as something which she doesn't. He's been waiting for her for so long and doesn't seem to be giving up

    I feel this line: "i feel my wings have broken in your hands" Describes a relationship where someone is completely incapacitated by someone else. They no longer want to fly away, but stay with this person forever..

    This is possibly the cheesiest song that the WB could've picked as Smallville's Theme song... It does grow on you...

    I don't really think it's cheesy, Kez. If it was made purposely for the show, then yeah, it would be.

    When I first heard this song when it was first released I thought it was alright but, after hearing it constantly on "Smallville," it really started to grow on me. Good song.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.

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.
Album art
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.
