You're just the blood in my hand
You mean nothin', man
You're just the blood in my hand
You mean nothin', man, man, man
You're just the blood, blood

I can see the moon and I can see the stars
Even see the world except for where you are
Set fire my page, did you close the book?
Set fire my page with your sideways look

'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go

This duet, let's do it
You're just the blood in my hand
This duet, let's do it
You mean nothin', man

It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood, blood
Just let me go

Like a bull in a china shop, hey
You leave me waitin', waitin' for the chaos to stop
What's wrong with you, there ain't no clue
Can't walk in my shoes when they're stomping on you

'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go

This duet, let's do it
You're just the blood in my hand
This duet, let's do it
You mean nothin', man

It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood, blood

'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go, go

It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, let's do it

Every time you speak to me
Your words drenched in hypocrisy
And every time you look down on me
I feel no worth in what you see

And I feel no worth in what you need
And I feel no worth in what you see

This duet, let's do it
You're just the blood in my hand
This duet, let's do it
You mean nothin', man

It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood, blood

'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go, go

It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand

It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
You mean nothin', man

Ah, I need another drink

    I think this song means duet as in a fight. Saying that the person is insignificant and it doesn't matter that they judged him without giving him a chance.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
