What's behind your painted face
Can you see the real pig in the mirror
Revenge you breed
I hate your skeletons
Begging to get out
One by one
Don't let your secrets get out
Keep it in
The brain dead circle
This is you
Create a new fantasia
'cause it beats hating yourself
Hating yourself

You came first into mind
Known to feel unkind
Blind by what we're showing
Known to feel unkind

Violet pretty
You show your face
You're always fiending
So you crave
Laying the dumb ones down
You love the
Thrill of the chase
This is you
Laid you down then walked on you
Torrid binges bit you throughout
Misery for two
Choking, choking on your sweetness

You came first into mind
Known to feel unkind
Blind by what we're showing
Known to feel unkind
You came first into mind
Known to feel unkind
Blind by what we're showing
Known to feel unkind

Come fetch with me
Come fetch with me
I took fifteen from you
And you'll never get this back
Truly disgraceful
Don't you know
You're not the lucky one

You came first into mind
Known to feel unkind
Blind by what we're showing
Known to feel unkind
You came first into mind
Known to feel unkind
Blind by what we're showing
Known to feel unkind

You can't promise me you'll know (I didn't know)
Promise me you'll know
You can't promise me you'll know (I didn't know)
Promise me you'll know
You can't promise me you'll know (I didn't know)
Promise me you'll know
You can't promise me.

    i think the brain-dead circle is the cycle of depression and self-hate.

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.
Album art
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.
