To find the strength to carry on
You put the marks into your body
You talk at length how you're alone
And bitch at all the famous parties

Such of a vision of pure loneliness
What an image you profess
Don't you turn and walk away
'cause you're getting me depressed

In hopes you'll never be alone
You bore your cross around your body
It was in bad taste
Immolent and gaudy

Boy, are you familiar?

Your vision of the loneliness
Adds an image to the press
You turn and walk away 'cause you're happily depressed
Inventing your own love loss
You invent your own success
I'm giving you a name boy,
You're poor Role Martyr X

Your visions of the loneliness
Like the ones that predeceased
Return in other ways when you're pleasantly suppressed.
Unlimited in your loneliness
You're a ringer for success
I hope you find your pain,
our poor Role Martyr X

Get your gun!
Get it?
Get your gun!
Get it?
Get your gun!
Get it?
Get your gun!
And get away from me,
Go...

One takes one, get it?
One makes one,
Is it one hates one?
Is it, one eats one.
To think a way for me.

So were the visions of pure loneliness from an image on T.V.?
Don't turn and walk away,
boy, you're depressed so happily
Inventing your own love loss,
Envisioning success
I hope you die of pain, oh, poor Role Martyr X

In your envisionary loneliness
there’s a pattern that repeats;
I really hate to say this;
there’s a similarity.
pontificating loves lost,
He bitches when he’s blessed;
your living is in vain boy,
poor Role Martyr-X

Since I am the most humble
I am the most humble
I am the most humble man in the world

I am the most humble
I am the most humble
I am the most humble man in the world

    Actually scratch that, there are a bunch of differences between ours, so I'll just post mine and see what people think :

    To find the strength to carry on, you put the marks into your body;

    You talk at length how you’re alone, and bitch at all the famous parties;

    Such a vision of pure loneliness! What an image you profess! Don’tcha turn and walk away, ‘cause, you’re getting me depressed.

    In hopes you’d never be alone, you bore your cross around your body;

    It was in bad taste, immolent and gaudy;

    Boy, you, look familiar?

    You’re a vision of the loneliness, add an image to the press; Ya turn and walk away, ‘cause you’re happily depressed; Inventing your own love loss, you invent your own success; I’m giving you a name boy, you’re poor Role Martyr-X;

    You’re a vision of our loneliness, like the ones that predecessed; Return in other ways, when they’re pleasantly suppressed; Unlimited in lowliness, you’re a ringer for success; I hope you find your pain boy, our poor Role Martyr-X;

    Get your gun, get it? Get your gun, get it! Get your gun, get it? Get your gun and get away from me! Go!

    One takes one, get it? One makes one, Is it one hates one? Is it, one eats one? To make a way for me;

    You are just like me, just get away from me, to make a way for me;

    So were the visions of your loneliness, from an image on TV; Don’t turn and walk away, you’re depressed so happily; Inventing your own love lost, envisioning success; I hope you die of pain, our, poor Role Martyr-X;

    In a visionarial loneliness, there’s a pattern that repeats; I really hate to say but, there’s a similarity; pontificating love’s lost, He bitches when he’s blessed; your living is in vain boy, our poor Role Martyr-X;

    Since I am the most humble, I am the most humble, I am the most humble man in the world. I am the most humble, I am the most humble, I am the most humble man in the world.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
