Open up your heart, let me slip inside.
Such determination always tries to turn the tide.
Open up your arms, let me dive into the big, big blue.

Try losing this chromosome,It's my choosing down to the bone

Open up your heart, let me slip inside.
Such imagination always helps the feeling slide.
Open up your soul, folding back into, the big, big blue.

Try losing this chromosome,It's my choosing down to the bone.

Blood(dive in)
Blood(drowning)
Blood(dive in)
Blood(drowning)
Blood(dive in)
Blood(drowning)
Blood(dive in)
Blood

Open up your heart let me slip inside.
Auto Flagellation allways helps the ghost to hide.
Open up your arms let me dive into the, big, big blue.

Try losing this chromosome, It's my choosing down to the bone.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

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.

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.

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.
