Last words of confidence still penetrate the cannonthunder.
So many daring dreams will fall, the vision of a better world dies in the bombingrain.
No time to say farewell, the world shall hear about their fight.
Betrayed by spineless servants, conspiracies - so many heroes shot from behind.
No thoughts of giving in, no stampede - no more negotiating.
This desesperate fight will set a sing - they died with the gun in their hands.
Time will avenge one day.
The sky is colored red by the martyr's blood, the same sky under which.
The victors marching in again, bringing back the slavery.
The oldest order, under rule again - it's been too early, but they shall rise again.
If it all came down to me, would I shed my blood for what I lived for?
Would I clench my fist until the last breath?

Holiday

@[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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
