Right now I think it's dip twist
Lick the center and discard the rest
In this new age misinform me from the screen
If I could overcome this apathy
Then I think I'd read
I think I'd speak
And maybe cut the leash
From this carcass that's been dragging us under the sea

It didn't cost much I spent the rest to cover my skin
With the sweat of a starving child
Who works so I can fit in
An advertisement
I wear it proud but within
I'm lonely and growing so tired
Every day is an audition

So hear we go
Yeah hear comes the cliff
For all I know
Everyone is doing it

The horizon
So promising I didn't see
The ground relinquish its power
To the air underneath my feet
Now I'm falling
A million faces look so content
Wearing white follow before thinking
Rocks and dirt are so very distant

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
