Empty and barren and wounded and aching,
And hurting and hollow, it’s bending, it’s breaking,
Guess you bawled and you shouted, I bet you slammed the door,
At least you have left me the rugs on the floor.

But this time it’s over, I’ll beg you no more,
Can’t even recall what we were fighting for,
It physically hurts me, this pain you are making,
Packing your bags with the things that you’re taking.

All I have left is a note.
Scrawled…

In eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner…

Was I not the man that you hoped I would be?
Did I use you, abuse you, behave violently?
Well you know that I didn’t ‘cos that’s just not me,
All I want is a reason why you’d want to leave.

Now the house is so empty, lonely without you,
Wonder what I did to hurt you, but I haven’t a clue,
And do you not think I deserve something more,
Than a note penned in eyeliner pinned to the door?

All I have left is a note.
Scrawled…

In eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner…

Nothing but a brief farewell note.
Scrawled…

In eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner (eyeliner),
Eyeliner…

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.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
