Don't let go...don't let go...don't let go
Holding my breath as I walk to your garden
Everything seemed so abandoned
Roses have gone just as high as the mountains
Fireflies glow in the dark

Don't let go now (don't let go)
Somebody is lying

Everyone came to the final revival
Its been a year since we've been here
Spell has been cast to welcome the arrival
Finally silence is near

Don't let go now (don't let go)
The garden is dying
These wounds won't heal (don't let go)
Somebody is lying

Break the spell of emptiness
And thousand year of loneliness
Bless the path of righteousness
And walk the trails of holiness
The garden is dying
Somebody is lying

[Repeat x2]
Don't let go now (don't let go)
The garden is dying
These wounds won't heal (don't let go)
Somebody is lying

Ohhh oh oh ohhhhh
The garden is dying
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Somebody is lying

Ah ahahahaha
One of us is lying
Ah ah ah ah

    This song sounds very much like 'one of us' by ABBA, it even shares the line 'somebody is lying' maybe they were listening to ABBA when they wrote this?

    Well when i listen to this song/read the lyrics, i get the image of a screwed up relationship. Like there's nothing good about it anymore except that neither person is willing to give it up. Maybe that's just me...

    I agree. I think that's a desperate cry to save a broken relationship. Garden is dying. Their love is dying. And the whole song he's repeating that somebody is lying, like he doesn't know who. But in the end, he realizes it's one of them really. One of them is lying to another about their love which is really broken.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced 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.
