I have laughed up galaxies,
Hats and glasses,
But I've never met anyone quite like you,
I've met vintage people,
Who boast of shipwrecks and bravery,
But I've never met someone quite like you.

You can take me away from here.

Do you remember, how it was when we were fascinators,
sneaking glances,
Do you remember how it was
all night when I sing my song,
'Til our songs we're done.

All the people gathered to watch you smile,
& take photographs for rememberance,
Could they testify with experience they would find that,
They've never met someone quite like you.

You can take me away from here.

Do you remember, how it was when we were fascinators,
Sneaking glances,
Do you remember how it was
all night while I sing my song,
'Til our songs we're done.

Oooh...ah..whoaa...

Do you remember how it was when we were fascinators,
Sneaking glances,
Do your remember how it was
all night while i sing my song,
'Til our songs we're done

& it's just nice to be near you,
'Til the sun breaks our city street through

    All the people gathered to watch you smile, & take photographs for rememberance, Could they testify with experience they would find that, They've never met someone quite like you.

    I think this could be about a wedding or a prom, an event where people take pictures and talk about how wonderful the couple is, how they are all enchanted by them. I say wedding because you need a witness at the weddings.

    Also, I think it's sung in such a tone - detatched, dreamy, and kind or surprised that she feels this way about the person.

    Well, that's just how I see it.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

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.
