complete the syntax
rearrange my thought process
in time, every point will form a line
prenatal cycle while you're pushing the jack again
and you backed up much too far, too far
and we thought this movement fell short
then theres a concrete wall

this is a parade
there are the stars in your eyes
this is an ending thought
that pushes my feet
this is the moonlight
and these are the stars in your eyes
and these are the times
that reflect inside your smile

and i thought we came
too close to the ground
the zeppelin failed to push you away
the greco roman doors have been opened
to the thailand traders
but i would never trade you in
for an idea without just cause
nail us to this cross
with a dna photo album
of the times we lost
live in the earth again
road maps as eyes
i am alive and leaving

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,

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.
