Ooh!
Gather the wind,
Though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Chain the sun, and it tears away (and it breaks)
You as you run, you run, you run

Behind the smile,
There's danger and a promise to be told:
You'll never get old - ha!
Life's fantasy, to be locked away and still to think you're free,
You're free, we're free
So live for today, but tomorrow never comes

Die young, die young
Can't you see the writing in the end?
Die young, gonna die young
Someone stopped the fall
Gather the wind,
Though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Then chain the sun, and it tears away, (and it breaks)
You as you run, you run, you run
So live for today, but tomorrow never comes

Die young, young
Die young, die young
Die young, die young, young
Die young, die young, die young,
Die young, die young, die young,
Die young!

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.

Page
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.
