I fed the clues of a lost day killed in motion
But I thought of it so
Like there's no other way it could've been done
Will they size my fit
For a puzzle I wish not to play a part in it?
A heart stained in hate
A feeling I fear will play circles

But you, you were my favorite
But you, you know, you were my favorite

I severed my ties
To shroud this body under the streets of this city
And wait for the day
When I am summoned to walk across the face
Well, slowly but clearer now
In visions that play and plague memories
I love them with all (heart)
As a son should to mother and father

But you, you were my favorite
But you, you know, you were my favorite

Would I walk through the door?
Shedding the light of all life
With the rise and reform
Would I come as before?

Pray you're not the only one
Pray you're not the only

If given mistakes would I take them back?
If erasing them could, if erasing them would

What would they be, the words that I say?
Your face and a door between
I've parted three ways
For you, the Newo that I loved (loved)

Did you ever really know before my face, shamed to break?
Did you ever really know before my mind, scared to think
Did you ever really know before my name, son to these?
Did you, did you, did you come clean in the end from the start?

Dear Ambelina
The Prise wishes you
To watch over me, oh whoa
Dear Ambelina
The Prise wishes you
To watch over me, oh whoa

I've fought the decisions that called and lost
My mark and the relevant piece in this
I will come reformed
In short, for the murders of those I court
I bless the hour that holds your fall
I will kill you all

I will call you out from shelter (I will call you out)
Burn your wings, you'll know no better (burn your wings)
I will call you out from shelter (I will call you out)
Burn your wings and learn their letters (burn your wings)

Dear Ambelina (I will call you out from shelter)
The Prise wishes you (burn your wings)
To watch over me, oh whoa (burn your wings)

I will call you out from shelter (I will call you out)
Burn your wings and learn their letters (burn your wings)

Dear Ambelina (I will call you out from shelter)
The Prise wishes you (burn your wings)
To watch over me (burn your wings)

    you guys got it. Ambellina was sent by the Prise to become a human and watch over Claudio. she tells him what has happened and what he has to do. the 3 ways are: returning to Newo, saving the universe, and giving up on life and letting everything fade to dust. Claudio is the last hope for the universe.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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."

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
