Something's off, I can taste it now,
everything in the room keeps spinning,
please stop moving, please stop standing there,
my throat is getting so dry, I'm freaking out,
God help me, I am losing my mind,
I'm living in my fathers spite and my mothers fear

I will never know my life,
I will never sleep through the night,
this is your mistake,
correct it and cut off

All this time I thought you hated me,
I guess it's my fault you couldn't control yourself
and the demon between your legs.
I will never give you the satisfaction,
you'll never hear me screaming

Fuck you and these little games you play,
you're wasted now, you've thrown your life away

I can see you're getting slower every day,
your lungs are giving out,
your arms are slowing down,
we both know this can't last forever,
things will change

Everything will change

I can't take another bite,
I can't hold this down

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.

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.
