All she's got is the way he looks
Many miles on the other side
He had overheard her choice
And he'd delve off a cliffside
Sacrifice he just wants to help
Knows the world like a baby
Takes his mask off and lulls his head
Then she sees him in the screen

They both see the traps
No fool, oh no oh
They won't go back
No fool, oh no oh
They've got a mind track
No fool, oh no no
It's all a mystery
Let it come and let it be

Oh oh

They both see the traps
No fool, oh no oh
They won't go back
No fool, oh no oh
They've got a mind track
No fool, oh no oh
It's all a mystery
Let it come and let it be

Let it come and let it be
Let it come and let it be
Let it come and let it be
Let it come and let it be

They've got a mind trap
Got a mind trap
Got a mind trap
Got a mind trap
Got a mind trap

They both see the traps
No fool, oh no oh
They won't go back
No fool, oh no oh
They've got a mind track
No fool, oh no oh
It's all a mystery
Let it come and let it be

Let it come and let it be
Let it come and let it be
Let it come and let it be

    The beauty of music is in the perception. I find it so fascinating the differing thoughts/meanings/interpretations...therein lies the beauty. I find this is a psychedelic journey with friends...together, yet so far apart, each diving inwards towards the mystery of the mind, soul, and being all the while knowing the mind traps that await...let it come and let it be...it's all a mystery...there's no going back...see you on the other side!

    One thing's for certain with this beautiful creation...Blackmill has created an experience that leaves the listener transformed from their current space to another...Awe-sum.

    Be Well

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
