On that day your mama would cry
On that day your father would die
And on that day when you lost your mind
This is what it sounds like
(Ohh No No)
It's not real
What's that sound

[Verse]
I know you've been alone
I can see your bad dreams in the seams of your pillow
Friendly faces change to strangers
Familiar places seem like mazes
There is something on the phone
It wants to talk and it knows your home
You can't stop from floating backwards
What's this force that distorts my world
Let me out [8 x's]
Where am I

[Chorus]
Midnight Nation
Hallucination
No escape from Midnight Nation

[Verse]
Now you see deformed faces in crowds
Stitched closed eyes and chins with no mouths
World in between what is and should not be
Peers speak to people that you cannot see
You read the bible but the content had changed
It's a map that leaves hell, the doorway is pain
I'm in your mind cackling and laughing
I whisper dark thoughts in the brains of madmen
Let me out [8 x's]
Where am I

[Repeat Chorus]

Raw from a loss now the world has changed Am I insane or dead [2 x's]
What ya say Let me out

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.

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
