My voice screaming through your mobile telephone
My fist clenched tight against your status quo
My teeth are brand new from dr. best and his son
My soul for a little bit of resolution

It was on sale at an offer an unbeatable price
Trade in your wasted life for a newer device
It had only begun and i already knew
Theres something wrong with this promise theres a problem for you

I wont give in, I'm taking it back (x4)

Guten tag, guten tag now im taking it back
I cant give any more, so now im taking it back
Guten tag i admit i was impressed at the start
But your life starts crushing when you take it too far
Guten tag

My voice coming at you on a late night show
My fists reigning blows down on your cheek bones
My teeth biting at the heart of television
My soul for a little bit of revolution

It was on sale at an offer an unbeatable price
Trade in your wasted life for a newer device
It had only begun and i already knew
Theres something wrong with this promise theres a problem for you

I wont give in, I'm taking it back (x4)

Guten tag, guten tag now im taking it back
I cant give any more, so now im taking it back
Guten tag i admit i was impressed at the start
But your life starts crushing when you take it too far
Guten tag

Mobile phone
Doctor under the sun
Unbeatable price
Theres a problem for you
On a late night show
Television
My soul for a little bit of revolution

It was on sale at an offer an unbeatable price
Trade in your wasted life for a newer device
It had only begun and i already knew
Theres something wrong with this promise theres a problem for you

I wont give in, I'm taking it back (x8)

Guten tag, guten tag now im taking it back
I cant give any more, so now im taking it back
Guten tag i admit i was impressed at the start
But your life starts crushing when you take it too far
Guten tag

Guten tag

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
