[Verse 1]
Beyond the horizon
Beyond all we can see
Something draws the lines of destiny
We are alone
In the geometry of things
Hanging from the clouds
Only a hand waving free

[Verse 2]
Now the winter is everywhere
Shadows lengthen, turn into demons
While the asymmetric flow of time
Gives a beat to lifeless things

[Pre-Chorus]
We traverse
Paths of knowledge
We know nothing of us
Only that we are here
We are here
Pile up and raise
Stone by stone
Forgetting the beauty of words

[Chorus]
Now it's time to rise
To run fast in the wake of kings
It's time to rise
Stop floating in memories
It's time to rise

[Post-Chorus]
There must be other ways, there must be
There must be other worlds, there must be
It's time to rise
Cling to the sun's rays

[Verse 3]
Flat level sands
Stretch far away
Walking like shadows
We search for what is lost
We raise all things
We later let fall down
Always clinging
To eventuality and hope

[Pre-Chorus]
But, the winter is everywhere
Shadows lengthen, turn into demons

[Chorus]
Now it's time to rise
To run fast in the wake of kings
It's time to rise
To run towards infinity
It's time to rise
It's time to rise
Cling to the sun's rays

[Outro]
Like waves in the ocean of time
We fall and rise again
Sailors lost in the ocean of time
On every island we find new pain
Like waves in the ocean of time
We fall and rise again
Sailors lost in the ocean of time
On every island we find new pain
Like waves in the ocean of time
We fall and rise again
Sailors lost in the ocean of time
On every island we find new pain

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
