Let go'a the past and step forward
Let go'a your past, my friend
The past will haunt you, daunt you, and hurt you
Let go'a your past till the end, honey
Let go'a your past till the end

Let go'a your lonelies
Let go's your sorrows
Let go'a the hurt in your heart
Let go'a the pain that drove you insane
Let go'a and find a new start, honey
Let go'a and find a new start

Cause the sun still shines on the sidewalk
Rain still falls on the trees
You could sing a simple song and get lost... in the complexitites

Don't disappoint due to lack of enjoyment
Let go'a your troubles and doubts
Let go'a your worry
Slow down the hurry
Step back and find a new route, honey
Step back and find a new route

Let go'a depression
Let go'a addiction
Let go and let yourself mend
Let go'a your hate
Go celebrate
Let the new living begin, honey
Let your new living begin

Cause the sun still shines on the sidewalk
Rain still falls on the seas
You could sing a simple song and get lost... in the complexitites

Let go'a the past and step forward
Let go'a your past, my friend
The past will haunt you, daunt, and hurt you
Let go'a your past till the end, honey
Let go'a your past till the end

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
