I can't start wishing that I went for something more
but I can dream between my losing faith and now
I've got plans
of stay proud
with every single scream
I'll find my place in every city.
No, never lose my voice

I stood there counting all the days 'til I was free
I can't sleep, I'll drive the 30 miles home
but I can't breathe
but I'm still proud
of every single day
Is something killing me again?
I need to get away

from all the things that made me lose my mind before,
and I know
this time everything (this time everything)
is gonna be alright (is gonna be alright)
take it slow, so you know
that it's real more than just tonight (tonight, tonight)
and what if every word (and what if every word)
escaped my mouth tonight (escaped my mouth tonight)
and I watch as the world
took its toll on my lips and my lips told my voice
that to let my mouth make prize

So what if my house is just a van
and I'm in love
Would I drive without the miles out west
to disconnect
I know I've got this in my head
so what if music changed my life
will it ever changed my mind

this time everything (this time everything)
is gonna be alright (is gonna be alright)
take it slow, so you know
that it's real more than just tonight (tonight, tonight)
what if every word (what if every word)
escaped my mouth tonight (escaped my mouth tonight)
and i watch as the world
took its toll on my lips
and my lips told my voice
that to let my mouth make prize

With all it took apart in my head
I'll keep you singing
along for all that I can
when I'm afraid
of all the nightmares that were true
and I'm just giving
out my dreams again
I'll never wonder what I'll be

Why can't you
help me find it once again
you were never one
to give up on this town
to give up on this town

and this time everything
is gonna be alright
to give up every word
and change my life tonight
I'll change my life tonight

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
