Once, once is really something twice
it's just a tease for a little more
One more time I've gotta ask you
come over here cause I got something I'd like to say
Once, once is real easy then
Twice, you're just begging for a little more
One more time I've gotta ask you, come over here
'cause I've got something I've gotta say
It may seem easy for you to penetrate what you
intend to deny, but when it comes back around
Is death the only way to get attention?
Once, once is real early but twice came back
and it got a little rough,
And there I stand in the middle, and I was
by myself like before,
Yeah once, once is real conniving, it's easy now,
When your conniving with me.
You step in my way, well now I have a little more to say.
It may seem easy for you to recognize
What you intend to ignore, but when it cuts back round,
Well death is a sick way for attention
I think there's a little more to be said.
They cut the cord, it cuts everything that's living in me,
Well it all dies anyway
I thought that that might disappear but you penetrate
The will to deny and I'm standing in the dark all over again,
Oh lie on me, that's all I want is you to lie on me,
Why did I see the birds an the sidewalk today,
Split open inside and why do I hear the birds when they're
Squawking over my head, don't let me down
Don't come down on me,
'Cause I just want to know, I need just a little
more time to explain myself.
Once, once is real easy, then twice,

Just ??? for a little more.

One more time I've gotta ask you,
Come over here, sit down, I've got somethin'
That's just begging to get out
Once, once is real conniving,
And twice, you're just begging for a little more
One more time, I'm gonna need you, I can tell
It may seem easy for you to penetrate
Your will to ignore, but when it cuts back round
Death is the sickest way for attention

    "It was a good time pal...it surely was." is what's said at the opening.

    And I totally agree with LaDiablo on the meaning.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

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.
