I saw the stones in her eyes
I saw the shadow of the world turn white
She thought she did it right
The girl who fell across the sea

Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth

Husam, who shot your daughter
Asleep in the house of your father
Husam, who shot daughter
The girl who fell across the sea

Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
The girl who fell across the sea

Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth and be free

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.

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.

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.
