Shades and lines frame the time sister, brother
cut to code, all alone, built up level
Lost your way back and they cut off my prayers
oceans wide all went dry reflection lethal

and if you ever have to leave
leave yourself outside the door
and if you ever have to leave this perfect world Lord

Held upright, hands are tied, emotion sickness
Breathing quiet all the time sister, brother
Might happen overnight it's times like these I'm not surprised
and my hand's an open knife
It carves creation's fire

and if you ever have to leave
leave yourself outside the door
and if you ever have to leave this perfect world Lord
and if you ever have to leave
leave yourself outside the door
and if you ever have to leave this perfect world Lord

Isolate, pray again, swallow
It's my life.. It's my life
I do what I want, It's my life

and if you ever have to leave
leave yourself outside the door
and if you ever have to leave this perfect world Lord
and if you ever have to leave
leave yourself outside the door
and if you ever have to leave this perfect world Lord

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
