A tributary, rivulet, basic stream or sweeping canyon cutter
A detoxing, high achieving, selfish motherfucker
I'd rather be a reservoir
A reservoir
A reservoir and
I'd rather be a reservoir
A reservoir of ideas that are just for you
A hunter gatherer with ambition and a perfect aim
A mafiosa with a contract on his mommas head
And i have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you yet again
And on a barn door there's a sign reading
'Don't let yourself get bogged down'

I chose to be angry
But failed to make the killer speech
It took me so long to notice

That we could hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Just calculate the risk

I wish i were the owner of a vineyard in the south of spain
And find a woman with a pawnshop and a factory downtown
Down to her mansion for some lessons in romantic pain
I'd build a railroad
On a bassline
Then i'd write it down
A hunter gatherer with ambition and a perfect aim
Walking upright, neocortex, breeding options girl
And i have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you yet again

I chose to be angry
But failed to make the killer speech

Hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Just calculate the risk boy
Hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Just calculate the risk

I'd kneel and take a bullet in the back, kid
But would it stitch the disenfranchised to the masses?
Calculate the risk boy!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
