I can't stand the sight of you
I can't stand what you put me through
Your life's a lie
That you hide
Is it that terrible being you inside?
I can't stand all the thought of you
I can't stand all the things you do
Why do you try to justify?
You are just too scared to be you inside

Let (it all go)
Let (it all go)
Let (it all go)
Let (it all go)

Look at you, all I see is a man too afraid to really be
Look at you, all I see is a man too afraid to really be

I can't stand what you put me through
I can't stand even the thought of you
Your secret lies that you hide
Is it that terrible being you inside?

Let (it all go)
Let (it all go)
Let (it all go)
Let (it all go)

Look at you, all I see is a man too afraid to really be
Look at you, all I see is a man too afraid to really be
Look at you, all I see is a man too afraid to really be
Look at you, all I see is a man too afraid to really be

You try so hard to be wanted
False emotions tears you fronted
I feel being a person relies on one thing, be yourself, let you come through
You're too afraid to really be someone who isn't false, who doesn't care to be
You're too afraid to really be, be yourself, let you come through

Fake, you'll regret it, you'll regret it

Fake, you'll regret it, you'll regret it
Fake, you'll regret it, you'll regret it
Fake, you'll regret it, you'll regret it
Fake, you'll regret it, you'll regret it
Fake, you'll regret it, you'll regret it
Fake, you'll regret it, you'll regret it

Let (it all go)
Let (it all go)
Let (it all go)
Let (it all go)

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
