So it begins
Our eyes torn open
Free from the thoughts of doubt
Free from our selfish confines
our blood
Restless, ceaseless

With open arms we stand before the dawn

The sun seems to have been rising
Ever since I can recall
lending a sense of permanence
To this lying world

Your words not worth the air
Your life???s not worth its weight in flesh
To hope for something more
To dream of substance

Like a million before us
Waiting to die
Like a billion before us
Waiting to die

Masochistic
Don???t think this won???t be remembered Would be remembered
Sadistic
Perpetuation of stagnation

There is nothing as empty
As waiting to die
We spend our lives wasting as time eats us alive

The sun seems to have been falling ever since I can recall
The only sense of permanence
In this dying world

Sit back and watch as time eats us alive

Everyone who knew me(knew me)
Destined to die(die)
The marks I've left
Upon this world
Will wash away
In time
In time

And so it ends
In time
It all finds an end
In time
And so it ends
In time
We all find an end

With broken arms
And hollow eyes
I???ll wait our return
To oblivion

Embrace our last
Empty
Horizons

Embrace our last empty

Horizons x5

    Again, not 100% on these lyrics, but any help is appreciated, on this and Breaking Point.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Dreamwalker
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.

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/

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.
