Light me up, light my cigarette
Tell you that I've wanted to been there
With him
Do you want to explain by me
Do you want the blame?
Well I can give it to you

(everything is nothing, nothing is everything)

The pole cat snaps
The sparrow from his mama's nest
What papa brings is one for no one
For no one
The crick crack stamps
Up to my daddy's lap
Tell you what he's for
Where I'm going to stay
If you catch me

(There is nothing I wanna do, there is no where I wanna go, just leave me the fuck alone. Noo)

Well there is something in them hills that sticks to me
Baby boy, find your family
Still there's something in them hills that sticks to me
Misty Coy, you're my family.

Misty Coy
Don't you die on tomorrow's day

    This is one of my favorite tracks from Annuals' older, pre-Be He Me recordings, along with the song "Walk," which, sadly, we'll never get lyrics to because according to Adam, he can't even remember them himself. The Lay Down Dry LP has some great material on it, I'd love to see them re-work some of it in the future.

    "Well there's something in them hills that sticks to me..." Always moving.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
