Take a step back from your life.
Take a moment to see more deeply.
Does everything seem just alright?
What is it that makes you happy?
This song is about how you could
Look back on your life and feel good.
Lets bring back the faces and memories.

And when it all seems wrong,
I want you to turn on this song and look out your window.
Remember the good times you had,
And those out there you love.
Everything seems better.

You're not alone, we're better off together.
You always have to know that you're not.
All alone, lonely through the bad times,
It seems like I have grown.

Now take a look back at your life,
To see how things have worked out.
How can you make it seem right?
What will it take to find out?
My friends are all here next to me,
Focus your eyes and you'll see.
Bring back the faces and memories.

And when you think you can't,
Get up and take a stand.
Fight for me like I know you can.
You've been here all along,
It's the reason why I wrote this song.
You make my life better.

You're not alone, we're better off together.
You always have to know that you're not.
All alone, lonely through the bad times,
It seems like I have grown.

And all those times I was a clown,
You brought me up when I fell down.
And all that I've become I pull my life to everyone but me.

You're not alone.
You're not alone.
You're not alone.

    This is probably one of the best songs, in my opinion, that DLD ever did. I used to be a depressed bi-polar, suicidal, manic...this is one of the songs that definitely brought me out of it. Like it says...Take a step back and take a look at your life. Look for the good and hang on to THOSE memories. THOSE moments...never, never hang on the depressed side.

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.

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.
