Lord, what more than little good has Your death done
Lord, why did you give Your Son
Surely You did it for more than this

The world lives on in ignorance, filth, and arrogance
Man wreaks havoc on his inheritance
Man wreaks havoc on his inheritance

Surely You gave Your life
Surely You gave Your blood (Blood)
And Your flesh for more than this
Surely You gave Your life
Surely You gave Your blood (Blood)
And Your flesh for more than this

Lord, what more than little good has Your death done
Lord, why did you give Your Son
Surely You did it for more than this

Your covenant lies highly rejected
Sadly, it is seldomly accepted
Yes, just to me it means everything
But to most it means nothing

Surely You gave Your life
Surely You gave Your blood (Blood)
And Your flesh for more than this
Surely You gave Your life
Surely You gave Your blood (Blood)
And Your flesh for more than this
Surely You died for more than this

The reason is I
The reason is one
The reason is I
The reason is one

You'd suffer and die all over again
For one single person
And if that one should choose to reject You
That is the very essence of You
To give the chance to choose

    The narrator is asking Elohim why He would give His Son (Christ Jesus) for us and then proceeds to lists some reasons. At the end he (narrator) tells us why, one of God's most important gifts: free will. God gave man freewill, and thus the choice to stay in sin or accept Jesus as savior.

    to me this song sends a message on how God gave His only son(jesus) to die for our sins so we can have eternal life and live sinless. but most of the human race doesnt appreciate this. the singer is saying that he must've gave his life for more than what we are doing to that him. all this rock supporting the devil. and people worshiping the devil. and not following gods will and turning their back on him. he didnt do that so he can be given the sholder. you know what i mean?

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.

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
