""The bloodline traces back to the past From whence the first real Christians came The racist procreation remains In every goddamned rally riot and rage Eternal damnation divided by nation Fighting for land language and souls A kick to the face of pride Leave hypnotic control behind How is it that even now to this day This poison we're born with Still runs through our veins? Still runs through our veins? Still runs through our veins? Brainwash young minds They will learn what you teach practice what you preach Brainwash young minds Breed corruption Didn't you expect when you built your You built your your empire Your empire on pillars of cadavers Genocide yields power Your empire your empire On murder on murder That it would corrode with time Say how do you justify? Systematic eradication of the diversity The foundation of all humanity Say how do you justify? Putting words in my mouth Blood on my hands Hate in my heart Say how do you justify? Putting words in my mouth Blood on my hands Hate in my heart Say how do you justify? The bloodline traces back to the past From whence the first real Christians came The racist procreation remains In every goddamned rally riot and rage Eternal damnation divided by nation Fighting for land language and souls A kick to the face of pride An insult to all those who've died To all those who've died To all those who've died Brainwash young minds They will learn what you teach practice what you preach Brainwash young minds Breed corruption Didn't you expect when you built your You built your your empire Your empire on pillars of cadavers Genocide yields power Your empire your empire On murder on murder That it would corrode with time Say how do you justify? I lock eyes with the dark monolith towering over me I lock eyes with the dark monolith In my reflection I see our name printed for too many times Over and over again over again You cannot know the warm touch of the vengeance that calls Without the sting of the betrayal that afflicts us all You cannot know the warm touch of the vengeance that calls Without the sting of the betrayal that afflicts us all""

    I think this a song about religion and Christianity and how it brainwashes people.

    Like, the bible is one of the most gruesome and violent books out there... what did they expect would result form that? They're surprised when people act in "un-godly" ways... but what is really un-godly? It seems killing and betrayal are the things taught to us in the bible. "Brainwash young minds - they will learn what you teach"

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.

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,

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
