Je suis un cactus
Sur une terre aride
Es des épines ingrates
Percent ma peu brune

Je suis un cactus
Personne ne me regarde
Personne ne s'attarde
Non même pas les bardes

Mais te voila
Jolie bruine, jolie bruine
Si claire si bleue si fine
Seule toi verras, les fleurs grenat
Que j'ouvre sous tes doigts

Je suis un cactus
Et tu connai la suite

    i am a cactus on the dry earth you are the ungrateful spines my little dark-haird lady

    i am a cactus no one looks at me no one lingers no, not the same troubles

    but, there you are pretty drizzling (like a small rain shower) pretty drizzling so clear, so blue, so fine you alone will see the flowers (grenat?) that i open under your fingers

    i am a cactus and you know the rest

    I hope I can correct the translation without making any faults of my own and without offending...

    i am a cactus on the dry earth and ungrateful spines break through my brown skin

    i am a cactus no one looks at me no one lingers not even the bards (poets)

    but look at the pretty showers pretty showers so clear, so blue, so fine you alone will see the ruby flowers that i open under your fingers

    i am a cactus and you know the rest

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."

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.
