When the waitress walked by- She must have caught his eye
And at that moment he was mine
A little slight of hand and I had poisoned his bowl of Neopolitan
What else can I say man? Enjoy your ice-cream

Murder is such an ugly word I'll use another if you so prefer
Me? I like to call it art and art is its own reward
Just ask Burt Ward, years of living in the shadow of the bat
But we'll come back to that
Right now let's roll this little memo out to the big boss
for the next time you think I'm going soft
Send some punk to try to knock me off
Here's a reminder you fucking hind-grinder
With a cherry on top

That I never lost a step
Message to Marcel, message to Marcel
That I never lost a step
Message to Marcel, message to Marcel

In my paraphsychology
The ghosts they only visit me
Mother it's no bother
there's a demon on the shoulder and an angel upon the other
The tie always goes to the runner (ten quatlooms on the newcomer)
They always seem to remember the art is its own reward
Yeah just ask Burt Ward
Tell me he never felt like capping anybody
Half a lifetime spent living in the shadow of the bat
Like that has got to take its toll on you
Take control of you
Until one day all you have left to show
Is the only thing for sure you've ever known
The art of an obedient carefully connected rogue

That I never lost a step
Message to Marcel, message to Marcel
And I never rubbed the bat
Message to Marcel, message to Marcel

En Guarde

That I never lost a step
Message to Marcel, message to Marcel
And I never rubbed the bat
Message to Marcel, message to Marcel
Message to Marcel, message to Marcel

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."

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.

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.
