This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
When I see the ocean it means I'm home
Just give me the one wall, I can hold the world at bay
Put your camera down, this is not a zoo
Any serious miracle is not for keeping now
And I'm a lioness when it comes to you
If they say a word, it'll be the last mistake they get a chance to make
And I'm a straight up ghost since you wrote me off
Don't need pride of place, but in your good books I think I might rate a page
The trace effects of these foreign wars
I'm not sitting it out, I'm still in shock
And this cold, old orbit never fails
As the city sleeps, we fly into the night
And I broke parole just to get to you
At a stupid show I thought, "This can't be real"
I threw a McEnroe
And I'm a straight up ghost in a tattered cape
Too small to fail, but, baby,
Someone's gonna love me someday
Just give me the one wall, I can hold the world at bay
Put your camera down, this is not a zoo
Any serious miracle is not for keeping now
And I'm a lioness when it comes to you
If they say a word, it'll be the last mistake they get a chance to make
And I'm a straight up ghost since you wrote me off
Don't need pride of place, but in your good books I think I might rate a page
The trace effects of these foreign wars
I'm not sitting it out, I'm still in shock
And this cold, old orbit never fails
As the city sleeps, we fly into the night
And I broke parole just to get to you
At a stupid show I thought, "This can't be real"
I threw a McEnroe
And I'm a straight up ghost in a tattered cape
Too small to fail, but, baby,
Someone's gonna love me someday

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”

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Amazing

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.
These lyrics are close, but not right. The correct lyrics are:
When I see the ocean it means I'm home Just give me the one wall, I can hold the world at bay Put your camera down, this is not a zoo Any serious miracle is not for keeping now
And I'm a lioness when it comes to you If they say a word, it'll be the last mistake they get a chance to make And I'm a straight up ghost since you wrote me off Don't need pride of place, but in your good books I think I might rate a page

And I'm a straight up ghost in a tattered cape Too small to fail, but, baby, someone's gonna love me someday
Thanks for the help mate, I couldn't quite make out every word, I was hoping someone better informed than I would correct my interpretation, which you have :)
Of course! You did a good job. Parts of the song were pretty tricky. I got the 7", and the lyrics were included. I still hear "lying mess" when the lioness line is sung though. Haha.
i think it's "and i broke parole just to get to you."
Can't stop listening to this song Blake still got it and he got it gooood!
