Some other time
When the dark star hits you
I won't be there to taste your smile
Some fatal night
When the dark truth gets you
I won't be there to fake a smile
Some other time, baby
Death will be holding your hand
And you'll understand
Some other time, baby
Death will be holding your hand
And you'll understand
Reach for the light
But the switch is gone
Well what'cha gonna do now?
Can't seem to force your inner light on
Well what'cha gonna do now?
Some people try
But they just can't make it
Is that how it's gonna be for you?
Thirst like a curse
And they just can't shake it
You seem cursed and thirsty too
Some other time, baby
Death will be breathing down your neck
Respect
Some other time, baby
Death will be breathing down your neck
Respect
Do you ever think about all the pretty ones that never made it home?
Or do you wish you was one of the lucky ones who could dissapear alone
Like you were never here
Reach for a scream
But your voice is gone
What'cha gonna do now?
Sinister force put your head on wrong
Your lies are coming true now
The hour's arrived, baby
Death finally made you understand
When he closed your hand
The hour's arrived, baby
Death finally made you understand
When he closed your hand
Some fatal lies got their eyes on you
But I won't be there to catch your fall
Some liar tires every disguise on you
But I won't be there anywhere at all
In an ominous dream
You'll see death finally made you understand
With his icy hand
In an ominous dream
You'll see death finally made you understand
With his icy hand
Do you ever sympathize
With the hungry ghosts
Who ain't never had a home?
Or do you wish you was one of the lucky ones
Always free to roam
So you couold disappear
Lost in the Dark...
Can you find a way to lay your cross down to burden you no more?
Is that heavy weight upon your shoulders the only thing you're living for?
Then why are you still here?

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
