find
words fade above the snow
the carved out psychic stitch
the carver's all who waves surrender
through all tempers looking back
the skin begins to crack
those ever double jointed blamers

i’m closed off no power the will inside no peace
no feeling all disease around security

eyes
divide the cycles find
a call who's never caught
belief heals over time decision

find
the vice grips never freed
a crease upon one's debt
and never paying forward

hate
we will be what we hate
what will be left today
when nothing's left to beg the moral

fate
what is it can't you say
who will be left to play
when ugly crippled eyes remain

i’m closed off devours the meat inside of me
in freeing all afraid of life eternity

eyes
burning of sorrow craving inside no teeth
holding on nothing is left to be believed

fear
what will we want with fear
the time bomb coming near
when nothing’s left to have or hope for

pain
what is there left to say
an ancient plan to pay
with blood and shit tomorrow

shame
we will be learning shame
until we play the game
that in the end will bring disorder

race
what will be left to say
when nothing is the same
and all this shit goes under

sticking out behind the mask
kiss the mercantile absess
rubbed behind each fertile blood
the fingernails are dirty

face the combination loss
then go towards the final cost
crippled debts a lost foothold
words so unconvincing

i’m closed off devours the meat inside of me in freeing all afraid of life eternity

    right right. something to the effect of: "where are you going to go?" Where are you going to run?" "where are you going to hide?" "there is no one like you left."

    -addendum on dal one not owning up to responsibility for their actions, needs, and debts to the environment sustaining it. a doll running on an unrealistic diet of infinite resources where they're, in all actuality, quickly running out for everyone.
    consumers who contribute nothing and continuously post date the same phony check for their tab they'll never really pay but only roll out more promises for reconciliation in some undefined future.

    "dal" is also the first syllable in "doll-ar..." hence, never paid up, never completed, closed off, denying any end to the bill and the impending reality check.

    one is often surprised when simply asking Ogre the correct line in this or that song... the transcriptions are a very tedious and difficult task.
    i'm well aware we don't really know a lot of the lyrics, even where lines "sound" obvious, we have been corrected so many times on these things already... it would be arrogant and naive to believe i'm actually right about half the transcription work i've done with Mythmaker and i certainly do not...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.

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.
