Monday on the line when you know that now's the time
To leave and be free aware of your destiny
When that moment arrives worlds visions through the mind
And all I see Is what used to be
My life consumed be a memory

I don't ever want to feel pain
want to be ready when you call my name
I don't ever want to feel fear
'Cause every night feels alright when your near

Battle through this wall of nerves when your life it takes a turn
What I have is what I feel well in my mind your lying here
Fear that en holy trail there's a piece of me in all he said
All kinds are fixed up inside my head
The stage freight in my own bed (Ahh ahh)

I don't ever want to feel pain
want to be ready when you call my name
I don't ever want to feel fear
'Cause every night feels alright when you near

Don't wannabe like a voice without words
('Cause I need you here with me)
Don't wannabe unwilling this way (Will I suppress my fears)
And will I be, this war of nerves

I don't ever want to feel pain
want to be ready when you call my name
I don't ever want to feel fear
'Cause every night feels alright when you near
I don't ever want to feel pain
When it's over will I feel the same
I don't ever want to feel fear
This war of nerves that I reserved
For when your here
I don't ever want to feel pain
I'm feeling hurt but I feel no shame
I don't ever want to feel fear
Do I deserve these cruel words we have here

    Any way, it is one of the best songs they ever made, and basically the whole album is a classic.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
