Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh, I'm famished
So I'll eat your minerals
Like a rabid beast at a foolish feast
I'll steal your breath
Like a twisted thief with a mangled glove
It's just my nature, I ruin love
It's just my nature, I ruin love

Stealing kisses in those misses within beats
Stealing kisses in those bloody sheets
I'm killing you, I'm killing you
Stealing kisses in those misses within beats
Stealing kisses in those bloody sheets
I'm killing you, I'm killing you

There's a window in time
Three days to feel each other, crack this spine
It's gonna break, cave in on itself
Love is terminal not built to last
Burn bright, burn fast
Burn bright, burn fast

Stealing kisses in those misses within beats
Stealing kisses in those bloody sheets
I'm killing you, I'm killing you
Stealing kisses in those misses within beats
Stealing kisses in those bloody sheets
I'm killing you, I'm killing you

Ooh, so many ways
So many ways

We got three days to feel each other
We got three days to sing this song
We got three days to feel each other
We got three days to sing this song
We got three days to feel each other
We got three days to sing this song
We got three days to feel each other
We got three days to sing this song

    My Opinion

    Since the first time i heard it, I felt like the music line was about teasing and excitement, kept under wraps. After better listening to the lyrics, I figured the song could be about a secret love affair that takes place every other weekend (3 days - that's Fri/Sat/Sun). The direct and personal confession "It's just my nature/ I ruin love" suggests it's a recurrent behaviour and brings about the idea that his/her unfaithfulness detroys both spouse and lover. "I'm famished / So I'll eat your minerals" sets from the word go a very strong intention of devouring the so-used-to-being-devoured-secret-lover. Minerals are good for health and revitalizing, yet their structure is frail. Such a ferme declaration, about bounding cells and minerals, is very intimate, so it may convey that the lovers have had some history together and the remains still come up from time to time. This is also suggested by the lines "Love is terminal not built to last/ Burn bright burn fast". The definite article in "(...) those bloody sheets" shows familiarity, recurrence and irritation, as if the lover is stuck in his mistress' bed which he cannot escape. Still, he's hypnotized and frantic with this state, as he keeps repeating madly: "We got three days to feel each other, we got three days to sing this song".

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
