(Ooh)

These city lights illuminate your breath
As you tell of all the ways that you feel dead

December left you cold and alone
I'm sorry but I have enough to fear on my own

Dying to care
I'm searching for some solace in this air

(Ooh)

But the wind, it cuts to my bone
The wind, this hollow breath of cold

The snowflakes fall like ashes into dirt
Like every hope that rose and dissolved into hurt

Dying to care
I'm searching for some solace in this air

(Ooh)

But the wind, it cuts to my bone
The wind, this hollow breath of cold
The wind, it cuts to my bone
The wind, in winter’s arms I feel at home

And I won’t let go
But I will take you with me
Right to the end

But the wind, it cuts to my bone
The wind, this hollow breath of cold
The wind, it cuts to my bone
The wind, in winter’s arms I feel at home
I feel at home

    Seems like a Christmas song in general. I feel like The Wind represents the throes that the world offers you, and when he says "I won't let go", he's talking about family & what's important.

    I guess the intro is about an acquaintance venting his problems, so he says he has enough problems of his own..word.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
