I've hoped for change
It gets better everyday
I've hoped for change
But still I feel the same
There's something wrong
'Cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own

And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa whoa-oh
And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa whoa-oh

We're doing fine
And it gets better every time
We're doing fine
But I'll let you decide
There's something wrong
'Cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own

And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa whoa-oh
And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa whoa-oh

And I'll confess
That I can be a little selfish
Yeah I'll admit
I don't want you to help me through this
I don't want to start over again

And we got everybody singing

And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa whoa-oh
And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa whoa-oh

And I'll confess
That I can be a little selfish
I can, I can
Yeah, I'll admit
I don't want you to get me through this
I don't want to start over again

    another one about being ina band and trying to get yourself out there. "it gets better every time" -more and more people starting to become fans and singing WHOA with them. "i dont want to start over again" -she doesnt want to try another goal in life, start over fresh. "We're doing fine But I'll you decide"

    • they think they are doing fine, but us, the fans decide that.

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.

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.

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.
Album art
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.
