Maybe when the room is empty
Maybe when the bottle's full
Maybe when the door gets broke down
Love can break in

And maybe when I'm done with thinking
Maybe you can think me whole
Maybe when I'm done with endings
This can begin
This can begin
This can begin

If you could be my punk rock princess
I would be your garage band king
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
And how you're gonna be something

Maybe when your hair gets darker
Maybe when your eyes get wide
Maybe when the walls are smaller
There will be more space

And maybe when I'm not so tired
Maybe you can step inside
Maybe when I look for things
That I can't replace
I can't replace
I can't replace

If you could be my punk rock princess
I would be your garage band king
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
And how you're gonna be something

If I could be your first real heartache
I would do it over again
If you could be my punk rock princess
I would be your heroine

Well, I never thought you'd last
I never dreamed you would
You watch your life go past
You wonder if you should

If you should be my punk rock princess
I would be your garage band king
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
And how you're gonna be something

If I could be your first real heartache
I would do it over again
If you could be my punk rock princess
I would be your heroine

Whoa, you know
You only burn my bridges
Whoa, you know
You just can't let it sink in

You could be my heroine
You could be my heroine

    is it heroine like a girl hero or heroin like the drug? b/c if this song is just transcribed, it could be either. but if these are the official lyrics it must be girl hero... though i think the drug works too.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
