This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
So what, there's nothing left to do
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
As if what I thought mattered much to you
And you were always my friend
From Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand
It's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
Sunday morning in the New York Times
I read you died last night
It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind
And the note you left behind said
You were always my friend
From Childhood's End
Seems like forever and ever
Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend
It's near the end
You won't ever be a rock and roller
Yeah, you were always my friend
From Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
You were just like me
I was just like you
For eternity I'll think of you
(Repeat chorus, fade out)
You've got something about you,
You've got something I need
So what, there's nothing left to do
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
As if what I thought mattered much to you
And you were always my friend
From Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand
It's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
Sunday morning in the New York Times
I read you died last night
It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind
And the note you left behind said
You were always my friend
From Childhood's End
Seems like forever and ever
Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend
It's near the end
You won't ever be a rock and roller
Yeah, you were always my friend
From Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
You were just like me
I was just like you
For eternity I'll think of you
(Repeat chorus, fade out)
You've got something about you,
You've got something I need

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
CoS was indeed a sweet abulm, I loved how the band was going in a more heavy metal direction. Too bad the reunion ended that whole idea.
This is my favorite song on the album and I'm still pissed that it never was a single. The song is clearly about a guy remembering his now-dead friend. I always get a little misty-eyed when I hear it.
I never thought Gene Simmons could sing with that much emotion, but he does a damn fine job here.
