Letters is a simple song that details Twilight Sparkle's daily life in Ponyville, the song being a letter taken down by Spike as a note. The lyrics are primarily focused on Twilight's feelings of when she's with her friends, however the entire song is left with a dark, ominous overtone. The song ends with a simple line of "The spell is cast, the dream is real", perhaps showing Twilight's first doubts of her friends.
