My horoscope, said "pack your bags"
Running low on hope, I can't get back
Made a hole in my head, then forgot why i did, you're all gone.
Made a run for a gate, but there's laws in this state, you're all gone.

I tried to warn you, but you were out of your head
I tried to hold you back.
I tried to warn you, but you were out of your head

I'll meet you in the fog again
and between you and i we can
make some sense of this
drank the dirt, ate the sand,
tried to get full on whatever i had on hand

I found a crystal ball, but I lost it.
I bought a tea leaf to find out where you are
but i drank it
only seer i could find
told me lies, told me you were just fine
burned her place to the ground
i'm regretting it now
that ain't ever right.

I tried to warn you, but you were out of your head
I tried to hold you back.
I tried to warn you, but you were out of your head

    To me, Fog is a name for memories. He has lost someone important, and now they only exist in his mind.

    With: "i'll meet you in the fog again and between you and i we can make some sense of this"

    He is talking about rethinking moments they spent together, or even coming up with a new conversation that gives him closure on why they had to part. Unfortunately, this conversation will never really happen, so he imagines it repeatedly.

    Like most people, I automatically assume its about a relationship, since everyone has felt like this about someone before. But the lyrics hint more towards a friend that committed suicide-

    "I tried to warn you, but you were out of your head I tried to hold you back. I tried to warn you, but you were out of your head"

    He feels guilt over not being able to prevent this persons death. Also, considering all the ways he tried to get information (the tealeaf, crystal ball, and a gypsy), he believes in a sort of afterlife. The gypsy hinted that they will never see eachother again, which triggered his anger.

    Since he admits it was wrong to burn down the woman's house, we are led to believe our singer might be on the road to recovery. :D

    I'm going to take a stab at this song.

    I feel like it's a relationship that's falling apart. And sometimes, one of them will run away from each other, or make a mistake, which just makes it all worse.

    "I found a crystal ball, but I lost it. I bought a tea leaf to find out where you are but i drank it only seer i could find told me lies, told me you were just fine burned her place to the ground i'm regretting it now that ain't ever right."

    He might not even understand why the relationship is falling apart, and wants to work it out, thus the line "i'll meet you in the fog again, and between you and i we can make some sense of this". But there's also that word "fog" which is sort of a metaphor for something not being clear. So maybe he's just losing hope in the relationship, and just assuming that even if they try to work it all out, it'll never be fixed.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
