Grasping like a child who fears being left behind
Scratching in the sand full of lost things
Pouring water on dead flowers
Hoping they might grow again
(might grow again) might grow again
woken up at night by an empty heart
we’ll cry ourselves to sleep
It was a false start
A false start
I wonder if you
Could ever stop
I wonder if you
Just let this go
I wonder if you
Could ever stop
I wonder if you
Just let it go let it go let it go
It’s alright
Oh-oh-oh
It’s alright
Oh-oh-oh
It’ll be alright


Walking round these halls for two long years
Looking for the door I came in
But now there’s (something that I’m waiting for)
Oh, Maybe I’ve been chasing it
I don’t know
But I have to go for a try
Tell me will you try?
Well alright
It’s alright
Oh-oh-oh
It’s alright
Oh-oh-oh
It’ll be alright
Oh-oh-oh

There’s a way out,
We can take it if you’d like
It’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright
Turn it into something new,
Whatever we might need
I want to try I want to try I have to try we have to try
To hold on
It’s alright

    I really love this song especially the driving tremelo picking guitar at the end of the song when he repeats the saying "It's alright" Amazing!

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
