You got too far away,I can't reach you hand.
The feelings we had were just a mirror of our fear.
Or not.
The sky has been so perfect and we refuse to see that.
Feelings are "just" the way we talk on the otherside.
It is.

The OUR creation swallow us,while we can't raise our knecks.
We celebrate our "evolution" till the time we see no colors.

Fate?Maybe.

Near, the despair is like a wicked judge who hates us.
It really is,even we think we're so important.
Far, the same despair is a lesson for all these years.
A lesson to the mankind.

The OUR creation swallow us,so we can't raise the knecks.
We celebrate our creation till the moment we see no colors.
The OUR sons now have us,called lovely as machines.
Just now we wait Heaven to save us,but it won't.

Fate?Surely.

Choking,we cry.
Choking,all this new life.
Cry,there's no more chances to our fleshes.

The OUR creation swallow us,so we can't raise the knecks.
We celebrate our creation till the day we see no colors.
We played all our life thinking we could be like God.
So,blind,we cloned ourselves,without thinking if it was evil.

Just cry,you need this body no more.

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
