Give me something I haven't seen
Give me the red light turning green
Give me the words but not the page
Give me it all

Give me the time but not an age
Give me a look but not the rage
Give me the feel for where I'll go
Give me it all

Give me the way it could have been
Give me the ghost that's on the screen
Give me the way but not the means
Give me it all

Give me something I haven't seen
Give me the red light turning green
Give me the words but not the page
Give me it all

I called you up
Three times last night
Running through the streets
Bloody, from a fist fight

Keep you warm
Keep you there
Wanna keep you all

See you there, wanna see you some day
As you look back, I'm pulling away
You caught the bus and I caught the train
All that remains are words in the rain

Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh

Give me the shade of a thunder cloud
Give me a good bye said out loud
Give me the day with no memories
Give me it all

I know you could be here with me
By the rain and the palm of the valley
But you're there by the tube stop in the freezing rain

See you there, wanna see you some day
As you look back, I'm pulling away
You caught the bus and I caught the train
All that remains are words in the rain, rain

Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh

So solo, I see you there
You fall like a fifty weight
The time goes
I'll be right there
I feel, I feel there's a fork in the road

Oh woah woah
Oh woah woah

    My Opinion

    No comments?! It's so good!

    I'd say it's about a relationship that could have been, and he's asking for the way to get it back.

    "Give me the shade of a thunder cloud. Give me a good-bye said out loud. Give me the day with no memories. Give me it all."

    This part of the song should really hit those that have ever felt the true love of a significant other, and the misery that is left behind when it's gone. The "author" is calling out to the subject for closure, for an end to the storm, if you will. When a relationship that has been so significant is wavering, we tend to find comfort, and discomfort, from the memories playing over and over in our minds, leaving us with bittersweet feelings. It's a begging for all of the bad, and the good, to be washed away and forgotten, but knowing all the while that it could never be. Amazing stuff!

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
