Living Life

Ben Kweller

The greenest trees you'll ever see
are the ones in your mind
And all the answers and the dreams
will come to you in time.

Yeah, you are living life
the way you feel

I know the world around you
everyone shares the sky
You never see darkness
you are the daylight.

Yeah, you are living life
the way you feel

Go away with a smile
Don't forget about your past
Don't keep yourself from giving.
I am always watching you
be yourself and staying true
'cause it makes me feel like life's worth living.

The way you feel

I've never minded where you're going
I know that change is a part of you
I'm not gonna hide anymore, I'm gonna listen to myself
and maybe one day I can be real too.

Yeah, you are living life
Yeah you are, you are living life
Don't you know that you are living life
the way you feel
and that is real

    I almost feel like this is from a parent to a child who is growing up. Basically though what Manda3eb said though.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
