04. all this ends in anguish and doubts
A quarta e mais curta música do álbum é talvez a música mais depressiva da carreira da banda. Na letra pessimista, Golden Castles perdem as esperanças com o fim da pandemia, e dizem o quanto estão cansados desse ciclo de sorrir e chorar o tempo inteiro. Eles já tentam prever o fim de tudo.

Lyric:
I shot myself yesterday
Got to Heaven anyway
Think I might regret it now
Tie my feet to rocks and drown
I don't need love, I need time
My eyes are tired of crying
Enough expectations, I don't know if I'll be alive
If they could see me now, smiling six feet underground
I'll tie my feet to rocks and drown
All this ends in anguish and doubts
Last call, last call
(All this ends in anguish and doubts)
Last call, last call
(All this ends in anguish and doubts)
Even though I smile, the cycle never stops
(The cycle never stops)
All this ends in anguish and doubts
All this ends in anguish and doubts
Hurt myself again today
Doesn't matter anyway
(All this ends in doubts)
I'll make it to Heaven even if the gods don't want me in
Have to climb the clouds and learn to fly
I don't need love, I need time
My eyes are tired of crying
Enough expectations, I don't know if I'll be alive
If they could see me now, smiling six feet underground
I'll tie my feet to rocks and drown
All this ends in anguish and doubts
Last call, last call
(All this ends in anguish and doubts)
Last call, last call
(All this ends in anguish and doubts)
Even though I smile, the cycle never stops
(The cycle never stops)
All this ends in anguish and doubts
All this ends in anguish and doubts
Last call
(All this ends in anguish and doubts)
Last call
(All this ends in anguish and doubts)
Even though I smile, I know Im always fall
(The cycle never stops)
All this will ends in doubts
All this will ends in doubts
All this will ends in doubts
All this will ends in doubts
All this will ends in doubts
All this will ends in doubts
05. miss me
O meio do EP tem uma letra muito sentimental, onde a banda fala o quanto sente falta de ter sua aura otimista como tiveram na era Something is Missing. Eles assumem o quanto gostariam de ter essa energia outra vez, e culpam a pandemia por terem perdido essa parte de si mesmos. Também assumem o quanto sentem que estão em retrocesso ao invés de evoluir, citando seus parentes retrógados. A banda disse em suas notas que essa é sua música predileta do projeto.

Lyric:
I look at myself looking for something to say
I look in me a reason to pray
But I think I miss me, darlin'
I'm looking for love, and I say that because
I no longer find him in me like before
I really miss me, darlin'
My pain is to realize that
Even though we did everything we did
We still like our parents
The lines distorting
I'm going backwards, woo!
Burning the tears right out my face
What happened to the happy soul?
I'm stuck in bad news
And I think miss me, miss me
I think I'm leaving, I'm leaving (miss me)
Confusion in the brain
The cuts on my hands
Motivational silliness, lessons I dont learn
Alone in the bedroom, I got it
Like some kind of freak, I got it
Now I'm vulnerable, without something to show
But don't cry for me, 'cause everyone knows
I reap what I sow, I got it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My pain is to realize that
Even though we did everything we did
We still like our parents
The lines distorting
I'm going backwards, woo!
Burning the tears right out my face
What happened to the happy soul?
I'm stuck in bad news
And I think miss me, miss me
I see myself leaving, I'm leaving
I dont want to leave, cause I miss me
They said it would be easy, now I miss me
My pain is to realize that
Even though we did everything we did
We still like our parents
The lines distorting
I'm going backwards, woo!
Burning the tears right out my face
What happened to the happy soul?
I'm stuck in bad news
And I think miss me, miss me
I see myself leaving, I'm leaving
They said it would be easy
Now I miss me
They said it would be easy
Now I miss me
06. dont let them in
O primeiro single do EP tem uma letra inspiradora, que é muito crescente no conceito do EP. Como uma luz no fim do túnel, a música fala sobre não deixar os demônios entrarem e voltar a se fortalecer. Parte da letra tem porém um duplo sentido, novamente remetendo a quarentena e ao movimento #StayInHome.
Audio:
Lyric:
Baby, I have been watching
If I fall with every pain
How am I going to get up again?
Every day, I wanna start over
'Cause I remind me of me
At my worst, I let my mirror
Tell me lies, saying I
I no longer have the same strength as before (before)
I am weak, sad, unworthy of any kind of love (kind of love)
I don't have the same optimistic energy (woah, oh)
Well, I don't care, I don't care what they talk (what they talk)
I won't let them in
The demons won't dwell on me
I won't let them in
And I will be strong for this
Every time you entered in
My mind, you find something new
But you can't fix me, you can't win
So goodbye, goodbye
I no longer have the same strength as before (before)
I am weak, sad, unworthy of any kind of love (kind of love)
I don't have the same optimistic energy (woah, oh)
Well, I don't care, I don't care what they talk (what they talk)
I won't let them in
The demons won't dwell on me
I won't let them in
And I will be strong for this
If I fall with every pain
How am I going to get up again?
I won't let them in
The demons won't dwell on me
I won't let them in
And I will be strong for this (I know we all want to smile, but)
I won't let them in (are being difficult times, love)
The demons won't dwell on me (this is a message for all us)
I won't let them in (I can finally breathe)
And I will be strong for this
07. this movie was good
A inspiradora música de encerramento traz a metáfora de que a vida é um filme. Eles falam como estariam satisfeitos com a vida se morressem amanhã, mesmo com os momentos ruins que viveram.
Audio:
Lyric:
I want to start it
But first restart it
This story is worthy of Hollywood (Ooh)
No way around it
I've felt all kinds of fear (Yeah)
I'm calm about it, I live with it
I don't mind being alone, yeah (Ooh)
The way I run it, but now i'm right here
But I catch myself in thoughts again
I'm always looking for something to blame
We all know we're going to die someday
But we follow such a basic life
And if one day I just go my way
I wonder if I'll be satisfied, you know
Am I satisfied?
I want the best moments
Even if it's not true
And if this is my last day
I will know that this movie was good
What if I could live again
I would do it scene by scene (No, no, no)
And when I get to paradise
I'll tell everyone that this movie was good
After living so harder
I'll be buried knowing that I felt the precious love (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Should I come back?
I don't know either, no
It's all just feeling real now (Oh, oh, oh)
So far away, but it feels like I'm everywhere
But I catch myself in thoughts again
I'm always looking for something to blame (to blame)
We all know we're going to die someday
But we follow such a basic life (basic life)
And if one day I just go my way
I wonder if I'll be satisfied, you know
Am I satisfied?
I want the best moments
Even if it's not true
And if this is my last day
I will know that this movie was good
What if I could live again
I would do it scene by scene (No, no, no)
And when I get to paradise
I'll tell everyone that this movie was good
After living so harder
I'll be buried knowing that I felt the precious love (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
But I catch myself in thoughts again
I'm always looking for something to blame
We all know we're going to die someday
But we follow such a basic life
And if one day I just go my way
I wonder if I'll be satisfied, you know
Am I satisfied?
I want the best moments
Even if it's not true
And if this is my last day
I will know that this movie was good
What if I could live again
I would do it scene by scene (No, no, no)
And when I get to paradise
I'll tell everyone that this movie was good
After living so harder
I'll be buried knowing that I felt my precious movie (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
What an amazing movie
