Soon the men taste their own,
Normalcy ends that day consumed by all,
Irrational thoughts depend then shape their tastes.

Let’s call it change x2
Once the fad permeates, it’s hip to care, hip to hate it x2
Laugh at the violence x2

True to form,
He’s blind as his taste for cheap panther piss,
He loves to live beyond the card,
So count us in to that Gucci clan…the fat face.

Let’s call it the chase, I’ll call it a phase
Once the fad permeates, it’s hip to care, hip to hate it x2
Laugh at the violence x4

So sell your voodoo,
And recognize this,
Your last and only score,
Got you hung up on your strut.

Once the fad permeates, it’s hip to care, hip to hate it x2
Once the fad (The same) You want it (I bought it) x4
Laugh at the violence x2

    It's already been clearly adressed on the official website what this song's about~ But even so, this song is amazing! The new album, although admitidly "more the same", rocks! Heavy dropped guitar riffs galore and Petes amazing voice pound through each track, and it all peaks in this very song IMO. The Fad is deffinatly the high point of the CD~ the climax if you will. Soon as I reached this song and that chorus hit me I had chills~ I was afriad to go any further and had to replay this song at least 15 times. Amazing.

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
