    I didn't really see this as an excuse at all but more a precede to set the atmosphere for the onsalught of 'White Walls'.

    ...besides, I reckon its the bass that is the highlight in this song!

    Tommy: Hey guys, we need a song to show off our badassery on this album. Anyone have any ideas? Paul: Don't we have enough songs that show off our badassery? Tommy: SILENCE FOOL! I DEMAND MORE! Dan: Well we have Prequel To The Sequel done and White Walls too, but we need something to fill in the gap. Tommy: Hmm yeah. Instrumental? Dan: Yeah, I'll write a bass solo to prove how awesome I am as well! Blake: What do I get to do? Tommy: You just hit the occasional hi-hat and ride or something, then do a cymbal roll at the end. Makes it seem like you're involved.

    But seriously, this song is a kickass one. Good job BTBAM.

    "Viridian is a blue-green pigment… we felt it really fit the mood of the song."

    It's an excuse for Dan to be a badass.

    Yeah, I see it both as an excuse for Dan to show off, and to set the absolute perfect atmosphere for White Walls to come in and give you an eargasm.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
