Look at you now
Truth begged to be told
I walk around in circles
To revisit where I've always been
You spoke of where your heart was
I thought I know you well
Ties that bind you have been severed
Look at you now
Eyes wide open
Truth begged to be told
Look at you now
Eyes wide open
For you bought and sold
Look at you now
Eyes wide open
Truth begged to be told
Look at you now
Eyes wide open
For you bought and sold
I want to make you feel this
Trusting arms lets me fall once again
I stood close to an enemy and closer to a friend
Ties that bind you have been severed
Look at you now

    I agree with JofaGuht on Morgan screaming "you selfish bitch!" after the first line. I also think she screams "Look at you now! You're alone. You're falling and its by yourself!" at the end (this is what I've heard it as). I never really got into this song but lately its become in amongst my top favourite songs. Very good melody.

    Haha I asked Morgan on the Kittie board what the added lyrics were and there are as follows:

    At the start - "look at you now, you selfish bitch"

    At the end" "look at you now, you're alone! admit you brought this on yourself"

    it seems to me that this song, as well as many of the other songs on Oracle, are about Fallon leaving.

    anyone agree?

    This song is pretty obvious, it's about betrayel(the theme of the entire of oracle). Also, at the beginning of the song, what she says after "look at you now" I think is "you selfish bitch". I'm not sure, though.

    This is my favorite song by Kittie as of now.

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.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
