Can we make progress have we learned our lesson
How can we take the test without the questions
The mind will play Pontius the hearts the defendant
The soul is the conscience you're the next contestant

Some how the greatest point comes without reason
Some how my made up mind acts without thinking right

Interrogate the truth until you hear what you like

Now I can't understand what keeps me going there is no master plan
Nothing to go on to grow on
Believe in everything leaves me cold
Too many promises not enough evidence of my soul

Nothing to go to grow on
Interrogate the truth until you hear what you like
Not enough evidence
Somehow know where do I begin
Of my soul

Now I can't understand what keeps me going there is no master plan
Nothing to go to grow on
Believe in everything leaves me cold
Too many promises not enough evidence of my soul now

Interrogate the truth until you hear what you like

Nothing to go to grow on
Not enough evidence
Somehow know where do I begin
Interrogate the truth until you hear what you like
Nothing to go to grow on believe in
Of my soul
Somehow know where do I begin

It's time to take the stand and defend your innocence
You can slip through the system by exploiting it's arrogance
It's time to take the stand and defend your innocence
You can slip through the system by exploiting it's arrogance

Not enough evidence of my soul
Not enough evidence
Interrogate the truth until you hear what you like
Of my soul
Somehow know where do I begin
Interrogate the truth until you hear what you like
Nothing to go on grow on
Not enough evidence
Of my soul

    It seems that they're wondering if everything that happens to them is fate. Or if everything just happens without reason. Are our lives planned out by some higher power or do we have control?

    "Now I can't understand what keeps me going. There is no master plan, nothing to go on, to grow on. Somehow know where do I begin?"

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
