Quiet...
Warm....
Unable to speak a single word.

These white walls are taking me.

Saying the words we mean to no one.
It's the best way to kill the adolescent.

Familiar, restless, bleeding, constant.
I've given my eyes away to darkness
and locked all the entrances while
visions of angels dance in my mind.

Saying the words we mean to no one.
It's the best way to kill the adolescent.

This world is a thief to our eyes.
This world is a thieff in disguise.
If sight is lacking, take mine.
If sight is lacking, take my eyes.

I can hear them calling.
I can see them reaching out.
They're speaking my name.
They're pleading with my heart.

These white walls are taking me.
These white walls are taking.

Familiar, restless, bleeding, constant.

Saying the words we mean to no one.
It's the best way to kill the adolescent.

I can hear them calling.
I can see them reaching out.
They're speaking my name.
They're pleading with my heart.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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.
