You keep your distance
I can't deny you
I got the feeling
Can't satisfy you
I got your picture on the wall
I got the picture long gone
You keep your wishes
I'll keep my feelings
There goes along the one
That kept me breathing
I'm waiting for you
I know you're leaving
I still adore you
You never need me

Hold on
I've found another way to let you go
Away
Hold on
You've found another way to bleed my soul
Away

The things you told me
To hear you speak
I'm burning slowly
I'm growing weak
You bring me closer to yesterday
Yesterday's a million miles away
Why can't you hear me?
Why can't I speak?
And I don't understand
What keeps me breathing
I'm waiting for you
I know you're leaving
I'll still adore you
You'll never need me

Hold on
I've found another way to let you go
Away
Hold on
You've found another way to bleed my soul
Away

    Couldn't it be also about suicide after a breakup? ''I've found another way to let you go'' It's a very depressing song, but beautiful.

    This song is without a doubt the best bizkit song. Most of their songs are crap but scott weiland really does well in this song aswell.

    This is a great song...the beginning is really great...and i agree that it's about breaking up and still loving someone.

    this is one of the best bizkit songs and it's great when you just wanna chill. i've never really liked slow songs except 4 Cailin by Unwritten Law (Scott Russo is hot but u can kick a field goal between his teeth) but this one is great. it's good to hear him actually sing instead of yelling or rapping.

    A great tune, true that Fred doesn't have to scream to be on form. The rap stuff is cool, but this is the shit!

    The rap stuff sucks. Why doesn't he just use his singing talent? They would actually be a credible band... and Wes probably would have stayed... not that he was anything great anyway.

    What I think is that it's about when you say you hate someone, but they die, and then you realise that deep down you loved them. "Hold on, I find another way to let you go, away" - the "another way" is ending it happily.

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.

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.

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.

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.
