You're free to choose what we want you,
Feel free to do what we want to
When we collide, the air will rise,
It's all that you will need it for before you go

When the day wears you, create simple lies,
When the day wears you, be simple lies
Sleep well my dear, sleep well my dear, bodies in flight
You're free to choose what we want you,
Feel free to do what we want to
Slip into your dreams, the air will crash,
Hovering in a perfect shape, we'll watch you go

When the day wears you, create simple lies,
When the day wears you, great simple lies
Sleep well my dear, sleep well my dear,
Bodies in flight, little or no movement
When you say love, I know that you mean hateful,
Boulders of spite ridden love decay
A mansion in an easy disguise of simple lies,
Boulders of spite ridden love decay

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

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.
