The worst is yet to come, so vulnerable and dumb say the words and I'll dissolve
Tell me how long should this last I've been forgetting how to act and
These memories will burn like gasoline
And I believe there's something more cause this isn't what I've been looking for
If I blink my eyes I'm afraid I might miss some of it
This makes no sense a mirage of an oasis but it kills my time
Well try to remember what I sought, I never gave it that much thought
Does it really matter at all, cause there really is no time for opening up my eyes
Cause you know that I have seen it all before
And I believe there's something more cause this isn't what I've been looking for
If I blink my eyes I'm afraid I might miss some of it
This makes no sense a mirage of an oasis but it kills my time
Well I wish I could always feel this good, I wish that I could always feel this way,
Wish I could always feel this good, wish that I could always know what's out there
Cause I believe there's something more, cause this isn't what I've been looking for
If I blink my eyes I'm afraid I might miss some of it this
This makes no sense a mirage of an oasis but it kills my time
I wish I could always feel this good, I wish that I could always feel this way,
I wish I could always feel this good, wish that I could be imitating the screen imitating the screen if you hate something it goes away if you hate something then just wait

    I agree that this song is fucking awesome, but the only part i'm still yet to understand is the last part that goes:

    "wish that I could be imitating the screen imitating the screen if you hate something it goes away if you hate something then just wait."

    anyone have any interpretations?

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
