Son of an honorable woman
What are you doing with that silly thing?
With holes in your soles and in your pockets
You have one choice:
Surrendering
You address yourself in the third person
And say "Hey, you, leave 'em alone"
You address yourself in the third person
And say "Hey, you, leave 'em alone"

Talk to the bomb, to the bomb in its shell
Talk to the bomb, will we go to hell?
Talk to the bomb, it has never been easy
Talk to the bomb, to the bomb

Man on the rocket chair to Phobos
Now you're going to have to face your ally
You negotiated your inferno
You have to pay for it eventually
Man on the hotseat to Timbuktu
Who do you want to be?
Man on the hotseat to Timbuktu
We leave you alone

(one two three)

Talk to the bomb, to the bomb in its shell
Talk to the bomb, will we go to hell?
Talk to the bomb, it has never been easy
Talk to the bomb, to the bomb

Talk to the bomb, to the bomb in its shell
(won't you) Talk to the bomb, will we go to hell?
Talk to the bomb, to the bomb in its shell
Talk to the bomb, will we go to hell?
Talk to the bomb, it has never been easy
Talk to the bomb, to the bomb

"Yes, hello?"

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
