Come!
Approach!
My trusty jackal's nose
Don't try to lie
Cause I can smell your hide
Leave your body
Leave this body now
Your face can stay
Upon this golden mask you made
The brave in heart
Can claim eternal life
My scales of truth
Will need sufficient proof
Their balance depends
On how your soul weighs
To walk with gods
The jaws of chaos you must pass
Anubis
My soul is so light
And as this feather I can fly
Anubis
Don't let me wither and die
I am proud for what I am
The guardian of the dead
Appointed by the gods
To be their final judge
Anubis
Don't let me wither and die
Approach!
My trusty jackal's nose
Don't try to lie
Cause I can smell your hide
Leave your body
Leave this body now
Your face can stay
Upon this golden mask you made
The brave in heart
Can claim eternal life
My scales of truth
Will need sufficient proof
Their balance depends
On how your soul weighs
To walk with gods
The jaws of chaos you must pass
Anubis
My soul is so light
And as this feather I can fly
Anubis
Don't let me wither and die
I am proud for what I am
The guardian of the dead
Appointed by the gods
To be their final judge
Anubis
Don't let me wither and die

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
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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
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.
it's missing the end that sais:
Anubis My soul is so light And as this feather I can fly
Anubis Don't let me wither and die
I am proud for what I am The guardian of the dead Appointed by the gods To be their final judge
Anubis Don't let me wither and die
