18 days
Since I?d look at myself
I don?t wanna have to change
If I don?t then no one will
Is it my state of mind
Or is it just everything else
I don?t wanna have to be here
I don?t understand it now

Cause its been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I?m trying hard to re-arrange
Some say its the hardest thing to do
But that?s another 18 days
Without you..

Time after time
I?ve been through this
You show me what it means to live
You give me hope when I was hopeless
As my days fade to night
I remember that state of mind
I?m soaring straight into your heart
And I?ll fly high

Cause it?s been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I?m trying hard to re-arrange
Some say it?s the hardest thing to do
[ 18 Days song text brought to you by LyricsYouLove ]
But that?s just too many days
Without you

And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end
But I?ll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this

Cause it?s been 18 days
Since I?d look at myself
I don?t wanna have to change
If I don?t then no one will

Cause its been too many days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feel like a lifetime
I?m trying hard to re-arrange
Some say it?s the hardest thing to do
But that?s just too many days without you

And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end
But I?ll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this..

    I read somewhere that the singer Jared Weeks said the song was about a sheriff that was shot several times while on a call. He had severe injuries to his face and was kept in the hospital. He was released 18 days later he was finally able to look at himself in the mirror. The lyrics describe his thoughts and feelings at the time.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
