I joined a gym,
Although its not punk at all,
But I gotta look good and lower my cholesterol.
There's one girl I want to notice me.
I'll have a slightly better chance if my body is buff you see.
I'm being obsessive, be-E obsessive.
Her name is enya, for her, I'm running this mile,
And it will upset my parents that I am stalking a gentile.
I'm willing to do anything, I'll be her slave.
There's only one word difference in "new age" and "new wave".
We can sing it enya, your synthesizer or mine,
It's all the same,
And doesn't enya goren oronoco flow,
Like the perfect name?
So I joined a gym with my dad,
We were both scared,
And it's always pretty weird seeing your dad in his underwear.
At the universal machine,
I put the weight at 1 lbs. you see,
I bench the thing up and down real fast and everybody envies me.
You don't even know me enya, and I've only seen your face on the cover of your cd.
I'm waiting for you enya, so please enya wait for me.
Your heart could fall for mine if you let it,
I wrote you a love letter did you get it?
Though I know this might sound strange,
If you don't like who I am, maybe I can change.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.
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.
