[1.]
All is dead in me, except my will to be
Living blood no longer feeds me
Need no sympathy, for the life of being dead
Of being eternally, I'm no stranger to this afterlife
There's no puzzles, there's no strife
Cause to me I'm real, and the things I feel
Are things you can't even dream

[2.]
Through the night a stalk, like a dead I walk
Have no clue what it is that is driving me
My nocturnal ways, seems to save me
Everything is black and white and grey
Like a vagabond, yet an undead one
Roaming the land 'til I feel that my race is run
Have no misery, of this life alone
No blood in my veins and feel that my heartbeats gone, uh!

[C1.]
If you talk the talk, learn to walk the walk
That's a rule that you live and die by
That's the rule I lived and died
If you talk the talk, learn to walk the walk
That's a rule that you live and die by
That's the rule I lived and died

[3.]
All the things you fear, as the night draws near
That is the world, witch I choose to live
Where the nightmares are made, where the beasts
Under your bed have much lighter shade
In a human shell, this is not my hell, now I feel
I'm growing. By dying, I'm knowing
When was I deceased, when was my release
Eternally thankful am I to death divine

[C2.]
If you talk the talk, learn to walk the walk
That's a rule that you live and die by
That's the rule I lived and died
If you talk the talk, learn to walk the walk
That's a rule that you live and die by
That's the rule I lived and died

[4.]
Dead I walk, dead I walk

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

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.

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.
