This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Written in the waters...
(voice of the dead)
"Our shadows seep into the dusk
Like cranes that melt into the pool;
A black lake in which they descend
Pale ghosts caress the nidstång in the dark
its face scarred by the ages,
its curse sent with heathen breath to poison the waters of the black lake
We are...we are...the faces below the ripples
A deep sorrow traveled through the woods
and found a home in our humble grave"
(voice of the niðstång)
"I've sent this peril...
To the world; this peril shall spread all sorrows
And you are but gods
watching from below at the base of the totem
in the black temple of the Earth
I am... I am... the silence inside the tomb
You created the stars
and gave birth to all the heavens;
the darkness of the space and time
So go... go to the nightside end below"
Where have all the noble cranes gone?
Where have all the stags disappeared to?
Piled below in the tomb of this burdened pool
A curse to those who corrupt these sacred woods
A curse to those who taste this solemn water
No unhallowed breath shall seal a fate before me
Join the drowned in the silence of the black lake's womb
Accursed...written in the waters...
(voice of the dead)

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
'Join the drowned in the silence of the black lake's womb...'
FUCK YEAH. Just had one of the best eargasm's of my life!
