Yearning for days of yore
In Elysian daydreams
Burn with a fatal gloss
A confounding mirror of souls

Dance with the winter winds
In thy visions so sanguine
Glance upon Stygian streams
Where lies hidden a pale secrecy

Hark
Lures of the siren
Yearn for the days
When blithe thou was
Sworn to a secrecy
An arcanum devotee
Mourning a life with thee
A descendance of watery Argentine
Trance of thy frailty
Endure the exsanguine

Glance beyond closed eyelids
the conundrum of all mysteries
Crossing in life, my heart
With silver in times, I'm weak
Too weak
Wan circling skies
Secretes, silvering sorrow
Precious to me Aphelion
Thou are the fields where we wither still
Exhaust in thy waning world

My Aphelion
On a broken mirror
Where the veils of night
And day seems as one
May thy lids gather again
On a vast and frail crusade
Invigoration of pain pervation
This time
Aphelion

In decadence I take thee by the hand
Too frail, to gain the promised land
Too frail, to take your pain away
Too frail, a sequel of decay

May milleniums gather
On the mirage of desolated souls
Far between departure and sorrow
I breed my afterthought

In thy hours
Of vast dejection's haunt, wane
An angel strays upon my door
So frail and lost within
To weep upon her days of yore
My decadent come in

Her stain and tears upon my floor
The sorrow that she brings
Devotion of a life outworn
In decadence come in
May thy lids desorb from emerald seas
A pending solitary
Though thy pain redeems,
Life it seems to be
A fragile sanctuary

    Aphelion is the point of a planet's rotation FARTHEST from the sun.

    It sequels the first song of the album, where the girl commits cuiside. This is the part where she drifts and swirls endlessly around in the river Styx.

    Atleast, that's what I make of it.

    maybe it is to represent how far from the sun and humanity she is, in the underworld.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.

Page
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.
