Shimmering traveling light, echoing love at first sight
Glimmering, glistening, banishing the darkest night
Waiting for traveling light

Though the sun has yet to appear
Inkling faint perception is near
Bloodied, battered in the dew
Leaves and trees are calling you
Waiting for traveling light

Shimmering, traveling by
Magical waves just under the sky
It knows no time, it knows no bounds
Coming clear beneath the clouds
Destination here and now
I behold traveling light

Shimmering, traveling by
Magical waves just under the sky
She knows no time, she knows no bounds
Waves of light are traveling
Cloak of night unraveling
I believe in traveling light

Shimmering, traveling light, echoing love at first sight
Glimmering, glistening, I'll see her tomorrow night
Waiting for my traveling light

Shimmering traveling light, echoing love at first sight
Glimmering, glistening, banishing the darkest night
Waiting for traveling light
Though the sun has yet to appear
Inkling faint perception is near
Bloodied, battered in the dew
Leaves and trees are calling you
Waiting for traveling light

Shimmering, traveling by
Magical waves just under the sky
It knows no time, it knows no bounds
Coming clear beneath the clouds
Destination here and now
I behold traveling light

Shimmering, traveling by
Magical waves just under the sky
She knows no time, she knows no bounds
Waves of light are traveling
Cloak of night unraveling
I believe in traveling light

Shimmering, traveling light, echoing love at first sight
Glimmering, glistening, I'll see her tomorrow night
Waiting for my traveling light

    This one really reminds me of Simon and Garfunkle, in particular songs like "Leaves The Are Green". It's very pretty. You don't usually get such softness and meandering (in a good way) from Stevie. It just seems to drift along melodically. Great vocals from all!

    this song is great until he gets to the chorus, stevie has his hits and his misses, and this is definitely one of his misses.

    the chord changes in the chorus just make me cringe every time i hear them

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.
