You leave me hanging high
Lost my sense to confide
Blanks, confused and empty
Yet overcome with a relieving sigh

Silence, deafening silence
Wicked world running through your head
Tired of second guessing
What I did or what it was I said
Ooh!

Anchor my soul no more
Low down

On the outside running smooth
Of a gutless cold machine
Although, I saw it coming
This soon, I didn't think I'd see

Just come out and tell me
You ain't gonna break my will
You're water under the bridge now
Lying dormant, dead & still
Ooh!

Anchor my soul no more
Low down

On the outside running smooth
Of a gutless cold machine
Although, I saw it coming
This soon, I didn't think I'd see [backwards]

My eyes can no longer be blackened
My smile can no longer break
As far as I can throw you
I wouldn't trust you 'cause you're so damn fake

Let's get somethin' straight here
Get the fuck outta my way
Forever my stone will be rollin'
No matter what ya do or say
Ooh!

Anchor my soul no more
Low down

    As many BLS songs, this can fit in many meanings, I believe it's about broken relationship, the kind that holded down, low down one of the partners, and he decided to break away... Also, it could be about negative nature of drugs...

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.
Album art
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.
