ping-pong
sit and think for a while and you'll realize that you'll still die.
if you're not thinking at all i dont know why you're alive.
ping-pong

    I think the ping-poing thing has to do with the arguement going back and forth. You could THINK but you're still going to die anyway (therefore, it's pointless). But if you DO NOT THINK, then your life is pointless in the first place.

    PING-PONG! PING-PONG!

    This song is so good. I hate how Sad Sappy Sucker is often overlooked. Isaac has more depth with 'ping-pong' and two lines than many successful artists will ever accomplish.

    And yes, if I'm not mistaken, Isaac plays accordion on this tune and several others off the album.

    Yes. One of the Sad Sappy Sucker songs that I wish lasted like 3 minutes longer. With jamming. These lyrics are so good. Hit home for me. Sometimes I sit around and think "I could achieve everything I ever set my mind to in life and I'm still going to die like that smelly hobo over there." Which is true, but negative. And on the other hand, what's the point of being alive if you're not going to do anything with your life? Isaac Brock doesn't solve problems, he just addresses them. Which is really okay because it's the "the meaning of life" question anyway and no one has ever really gotten that close to the right answer there. Except Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, and John Cleese.

    to me this first part of the song talk about people who question what theyre going to d in their life and then realize its too late to have fun or they regret what they did

    and then the second part is about other people who just throw theyre life away and dont put thought into theyre actions its weird im sure isaac put much thought into this but it makes me feel good inside for some reason i dunno then the second part

    I think this song is Isaac's way of mocking people who go through life without ever questioning anything "deep" or "meaningful" or "cliche". I find myself constantly surrounded by such people.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
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.
