Il rêvait d'une ville étrangère
Une ville de filles et de jeux
Il voulait vivre d'autres manières dans un autre milieu

Il rêvait sur son chemin de pierres
"Je partirai demain, si je veux
J'ai la force qu'il faut pour le faire
Et j'irai trouver mieux"

Il voulait trouver mieux que son lopin de terre
Que son vieil arbre tordu au milieu
Trouver mieux que la douce lumière du soir près du feu
Qui réchauffait son père
Et la troupe entière de ses aïeux
Le soleil sur les murs de poussière
Il voulait trouver mieux

Il a fait tout le tour de la terre
Il a même demandé à Dieu
Il a fait tout l'amour de la terre, il n'a pas trouvé mieux

Il a croisé les rois de naguère
Tout drapés de diamants et de feu
Mais dans les châteaux des rois de naguère il n'a pas trouvé mieux

Il n'a pas trouvé mieux
Que son lopin de terre
Que son vieil arbre tordu au milieu
Trouver mieux que la douce lumière du soir près du feu
Qui réchauffait son père
Et la troupe entière de ses aïeux
Le soleil sur les murs de poussière
Il n'a pas trouvé mieux

Il a dit "je retourne en arrière
Je n'ai pas trouvé ce que je veux"
Il a dit "je retourne en arrière", il s'est brûlé les yeux

Il s'est brûlé les yeux
Sur son lopin de terre et sur son vieil arbre tordu au milieu
Aux reflets de la douce lumière du soir près du feu
Qui réchauffait son père
Et la troupe entière de ses aïeux
Au soleil sur les murs de poussière
Il s'est brûlé les yeux

Brûlé les yeux
Brûlé les yeux
Oh, brûlé les yeux
Il s'est brûlé les yeux
Brûlé les yeux
Hey, brûlé les yeux

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
