We'll bring the water 'til you see
We'll bring the water 'til you see what it's worth
We'll bring the water 'til you see
We'll bring the water 'til you see what it's worth

Do you see the sun get soft and round
Do you see the sun get soft and disappear
Do you see the sun get soft and round
Do you see the sun get soft and disappear

We'll bring the water 'til you see
We'll bring the water 'til you see what it's worth
We'll bring the water 'til you see
We'll bring the water 'til you see what it's worth

    This is an absolutely beautiful song. I may be butchering what the artist meant the lyrics to mean, but everybody has their own interpretations. Perhaps it could mean something along the lines of not knowing what you have until it is gone. "We'll bring the water 'til you see what it's worth." When you're just starting to realize how good you have it, it will be taken away from you. The part of the song where she sings "Do you see the sun get soft and round/disappear" could be referring to the subconscious blindness humans possess. The sun sets every day (disappear) and some people are too busy going about their own monotonous lives to realize how beautiful it is. As far as who the "we'll" is, my mind is left to wonder. Who will "bring the water?" In short, it is about humanity and how unappreciative we can be. But when something we want gets taken away, we realize that we were oblivious.

    a bit long of an explanation, i suppose.

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
