I'm half a crazy man
Waiting for a confirmation
Signs keep changing
I need some more information

Some tricks of the light
You never know
Make a flickering midnight light
Into a glow

It's a trick of the light
It's a trick of the light

Something tells me how
Her bright blue eyes are smiling
She turns her head now
Will she won't she deny him

Some tricks of the light
You never know
Make a flickering midnight light
Into a glow
And the spark that you saw so bright
Was just for show
Could it ever have turned out right
You'll never know

It's a trick of the light
It's a trick of the light

She turns she takes his hand
Breaking his concentration
She burns at his command
Makes some transfiguration

Some tricks of the light etc.
You never know

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
