You don't have my number
We don't need each other now
We don't need the city
The creed or the culture now

'Cause I feel, well, I feel alive
I feel, well, I feel alive
I feel the streets are not pulling me down

So people of the city
I don't need your counsel now
And I don't need your good advice
'Cause you don't have my lover's touch

You don't have my number
We don't need each other now
The creed or the culture
We can move beyond it now

Now the wolves is knocking at my door
Bang, bang, it asks for more
Stand here we stand tall
We could move beyond these walls

And I don't need your counsel
And I don't need these city streets
And I don't need that good advice
'Cause we can move beyond it now

You don't have my number
We don't need any trouble now
The creed or the culture
You don't have my lover's touch

'Cause I feel, well, I feel alive
I feel, well, I feel alive
I feel the streets are not far from here

Can you even hear me?
Do you even know my name?
Can we see the ocean there?
(You don't have my lover's touch)

You don't have my number
You don't have my number now
I wonder, can you hear me? (You don't have my number)
And are you even listening now? (You don't have my number)

'Cause you don't have my number
And we don't need each other now
No, you can't steal my thunder
'Cause you don't have my lover's touch

You don't have my number
And I don't need no one now
And I don't need these city streets
The creed or the culture now

Ooh, now
Ooh
Ooh, now
Ooh
Hey

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
