We used to throw thunderbolts
They rained down on passing cars
We played it to greet the stars
To play it with any art

You don't need those glasses but
You just look so good in them
We used to throw thunderbolts
Good ideas even then

They let you, let you ride
They let you, let you ride

We used to throw thunderbolts
Twilight on the overpass
We'll wrest them out gravity(?)
Color fast and come with me

And we had some directives
We shown in that villain(?) light
TV yellow and in love
In whatever's shining down

He let you, let you ride
He let you, let you ride

We used to ride thunderheads
We rode them around the bend
You don't need those glasses but
You just look so good in them

They let you, let you ride
They let you, let you ride

They let you, let you ride
They let you, let you ride
They let you, let you ride
They let you, let you ride

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.

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.
