mission control, mission control
are you receiving? we've got a problem, in every sense of the word.
come in, mission control.
permission to land, i'm taking her down. thrusters on full.
...mission control
radio silence. ending transmission. someone else here.
if i don't return, remember the code.
forget what you've seen. forget what you heard.
forget what you know.

red light, green light

everything freezing, floating and weightless
no one receiving, abandon your stations
everything freezing, floating and weightless
emergency landing, abandon your stations

mission control, mission control
come in, do you read me? we've got a problem, in every sense of the word.
come in, mission control.
critical damage. monkey's a goner. we're heading for home.
...mission control
radio silence. ending transmission. our friends have returned.
if i don't come back, remember the code.
forget what you've seen. forget what you heard.
forget what you know.

...come in, mission control...

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
