Tú me dijiste que la mañana
Se compraba con un beso
Y que la guerra estaba en venta
Y que la paz tenía su precio

Que la política se viste
De oro, plata y lino fino, woy-oh-oy
Y lo que sale de la boca
Paga impuesto en el oído

Que cada día es más angosto el camino

Ay, que la calle está dura
Que la calle está dura
Ay, que el que no corre vuela
Que el que no corre vuela

Ay, que la luna se aleja
Que la luna se aleja
Ay, me pregunto y medito
¿Cuál es la raíz cuadrada de mi mismo?

Tú me dijiste que la mentira
Usaba lentes de contacto
Y que un zapato de Valentino
Se auto proclamó barato

Que un arancel se enamoró
De un tributario en zona franca, yere-rere-re
Que la anestesia se fue a Londres
A un congreso de turismo

Que cada día trae su afán y te explico

Ay, que la calle está dura
Que la calle está dura
Ay, que el que no corre vuela
Que el que no corre vuela

Ay, que la luna se aleja
Que la luna se aleja
Ay, me pregunto y medito
¿Cuál es la raíz cuadrada de mi mismo?

Bring it down

Y que no hay favoritismos con el café
El que primero cuela es el que va a beber
Que Tchaikovsky era ruso y Debussy francés
Cuando el río suena es que agua trae lo sé

Que los clubes son trincheras de la societé
Donde caben siete caben veintitrés
Que la noche pinta buena para Star Trek

Hey, man, no te juegues con eso

Ay, que la calle está dura
Que la calle está dura
Ay, que el que no corre vuela
Que el que no corre vuela

Ay, que la luna se aleja
Que la luna se aleja
Ay, me pregunto y medito
¿Cuál es la raíz cuadrada de mi mismo?

Love somebody
Need somebody
Love somebody
Need somebody

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.

Punchline
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.

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.

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.
