He fills the room like champagne
Into an empty glass
As they slither to him like snakes
Through the grass

His stance is quiet with grace
Before they throw him into the rat race
And he turns to me to say I'm a lonely boy
Even with the life I asked for

Lonely boy, why don't you see
You're exactly the same as me?
You could be the most beautiful thing
That I ever did see with your head pointing down
And your friend's leaving town

He sung like an angel
That had stepped deep inside
While I payed my guitar
And scribed and cried

And the nails that we jam into our hearts
Are essential and needed for the part
And he turns to me to say, I'm a lot like you
Does that mean, boy, I'll be lonely too

Lonely boy, why don't you see
You're exactly the same as me?
You could be the most beautiful thing
That I ever did see with your head pointing down
And your friend's leaving town

Days are passing like November rain
Constantly falling but nothing here remains
And he turns to me to say I'm a lot like you
Does that mean, boy, I'll be lonely too

Lonely boy, why don't you see
You're exactly the same as me?
You could be the most beautiful thing
That I ever did see with your head pointing down
And your friend's leaving town

Your home getting high everyday
Don't you think it's strange?

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.

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.
