Stuck inside a daydream, looking
Out the window of a speeding train
Quickly closing in
To the end of everything
Every minute is a lifetime
And the scenery's just racing by
We shake our heads and smile
Buy the ticket take the ride
One day we'll stand knee deep in the ocean
Heads like the earth and hearts like fire
(Hand in hand)
We'll watch the highlights in slow motion
As the tidal wave gets higher and higher
You told me that it pains you to know
That one of us will plan the others funeral
But I say why can't we
Both face the storm
Picture us on the shore standing
As you hold out your hand
And then I follow you into the sea
One day we'll stand knee deep in the ocean
Heads like the earth and hearts like fire
(Hand in hand)
We'll watch the highlights in slow motion
As the tidal wave gets higher and higher
(At the end of everything)
When we have charted the ocean
Of love and devotion
Will there be hope then
Or will we be broken
Or will we get homesick
And ready to begin
Ready to begin again
When we have charted the ocean
Of love and devotion
Will there be hope then
Or will we be broken
Or will we get homesick
And ready to begin
Ready to begin again
One day we'll stand knee deep in the ocean
Heads like the earth and hearts like fire
(Hand in hand)
We'll watch the highlights in slow motion
As the tidal wave gets higher and higher
(At the end of everything)
One day we'll stand knee deep in the ocean
Heads like the earth and hearts like fire
(Hand in hand)
We'll watch the highlights in slow motion
As the tidal wave gets higher and higher
(At the end of everything)

    I don't think its that cut and dry...

    I think the 2nd verse is meant to illustrate the writers struggles with the road and giving into certain temptations - whether they be drugs or booze or whatever.

    However in the end she's his savior.

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.

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.

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

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
