All veiled by sunlight
A murder for evenfall
Where a new dawn resides
Veiled by sunlight
All veiled by sunlight
Of gilded silhouettes
Where long shadows rise

As winds whisper, o' harbinger, lamenting twilight
All drowned within, cold stars ignite
The world closed its eyes

Of Lorelei
Dead dreams rising
Lost to a frayed dimension
And what lies beneath
The labyrinth within the sea
The black skies of twenty thousand leagues

Keelhauled and crippled
Tangled in misery
An abyss of dying dreams
Cascading delirium
Mirrored waters
Through oceans celestial
Time steals nostalgia
For only the pain is real

Of Lorelei
Dead dreams rising
Lorelei
Lost to a frayed dimension
And what lies beneath
The labyrinth within the sea
The black skies of twenty thousand leagues
Lorelei, memories in full sail, now cast away

Bathed in funereal starfall
This night, we drag the waters
The world opens its eyes
Where tides chase the dawn beyond

All veiled by sunlight
A new day to enslave our heartache
They are our shades and whispers
Sun-gilded silhouettes
Grief, a keepsake

    Song Meaning

    The meaning of the song has been explained by Xenoir: "...'eyrie' it's, you know, technically, it's like a high place, or like a high nesting place sort of thing. For this, it was [the song]...it relates to death and dealing with the loss of someone. But it's also, I guess...after someone has passed, you have more of an overview of someone's life and what it meant to you..."

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.

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.

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.
