Heart beat soundin'.
Ricocheting in their cage.
Thought I'd lose my balance.
With the grounds bounce and sway.
And all this violence.
And all this goes away.
And the vibes that rise like.
Fireflies illuminate our play.

Some light being.
Pulled you up from night�s party.
Said clap your hands.
If you think your soul is free.
And the silence was astounding.
'cept some "Oh Lord!! Mercy Me's".
And oh you can't stop what's comin' up.
You�re never gonna stop gonna live it up.
And oh it's gonna drop gonna fill your cup.
And oh it's gonna drop gonna fill your cup!.

The age of miracles.
The age of sound.
Well there's a Golden Age.
Comin' round, comin'round, comin' round!

Give it up.
'stead of grabbin� for decay.
What we viewed as gold.
I believe pollutes this space.
And its grace ascending.
Like a snake up your tree.
Up your happy ending understanding.
All your s'pposed to be.

Let it move right in.
Let it kiss your face.
Let it sow your skin.
In perpetual embrace.
Like I said "Love's Light is Laughter".
Like the sun spittin' happiness into the hereafter.
Oh here it comes like a natural disaster.
Ah blowin� up like a ghetto blaster.
Ah here it comes, bring it faster!
Ah here it comes, bring it faster!

The age of miracles.
The age of sound.
Well there's a Golden Age.
Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round!!

Love, don't you falter.
Burnin� hearts.
Dragged behind.
The horses dancing on the altar.
Hooves breakin' Gods.
To diamond dust and stars.
And there you are...

Now we're all allowed to breathe.
Walls dissolve.
With the hunger and the greed.
Move your body.
You've got all you need.
And your arms in the air stir a sea of stars.
And oh here it comes and it's not so far.

All light beings.
Come on now make haste..
Clap your hands.
If you think you're in the right place
Thunder all surroundin'.
Aw feel it quake with the joy resounding.
Palm to the palm you can feel it poundin'.
Never give it up you can feel it mountin'.
Oh its gonna drop gonna fill your cup and.
Oh its gonna drop gonna fill your cup!!!

The age of miracles.
The age of sound.
Well there's a Golden Age.
Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round!!!!

The age of miracles.
The age of sound.
Well there's a Golden Age.
Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round!!!!

    TV on the radio doesn't make lyrics any deeper than the depth at which we can all relate (alot like Tool). They put a core message in there and then accentuate it with a couple of flair lines here and there, and then let most of the specifics take place in your head.

    This song is about what tons of other artists are writing about right now, the next step in evolution. If you read lyrics to songs like this, you can tell that they think it's happening right now. And every time you understand something like this, you push the entire planet's consciousness a little further into the Golden Age. Of course, if you're jamming to this song, while realizing this, you're pushing pretty hard and pretty fast. Just like a ghetto blaster

    Maybe I just have a dirty mind, but to me this just seems and reads like a song about fucking.

    I see this as the promise of Utopia soon, that we'll get out of the Dark Age of the Bush Administration, economic collapse, war, ignorance and get back to where we were thousands of years ago.

    I agree with ReverendKelvin thats about an upcoming utopia, but i dont think it is about reverting back to "where we were thousands of years ago." i feel the utopia sung about is completly new, where nothing is needed or wanted.

    This song is most definitely reffering to the ascension, which had already begun but it will come to it's peak in 2012. It's talking about how the world we live in now is soon to be replaced by heaven on earth.. but, only for the souls who are prepared. The vibration of the planet as well as the vibrations of the humans and all of the animals living on earth are rising. This means we are making the transition into the 4th and 5th dimension; planes of exsistance that are 'above' our current 3rd dimensional planet. We are all aware that something big is about to happen. We can feel it, deep within all of us. As humans we are evolving into the next species- we are becoming beings of light. This is happening to every one of us, although some are more aware of the transformation then others. Soon the truth will be revealed to everybody, and when enough people are aware of the Ascension, we can all ascend together with Mother Earth. The Golden Age is coming! Prepare yourselves! We are about to enter the best period of life the Earth has ever experienced. We are all here on Earth right now for this!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
