Don't block bad idea
You've been so good I hear
Don't rush
Don't move bad idea
You've been so still I'm here for you
Don't rush
One way or another
I'll find my way to cover
I sing to find my other
Sing to find my
One way my lovely other
They find restless cover
You sing to another
Sing to find your
Don't leave bad idea
You've been so far so long
Don't rush
Don't run bad idea
You move so fast
I need to rush
One way or another
I'll find my way to cover
I sing to find my other
Sing to find my
One way my lovely other
They find restless cover
You sing to another
Sing to find your
One way or another
I'll find my way to cover
I'd love to find my other
Love to find you
One way my lovely other
They'll find restless cover
You've loved so many others
One way to erase bad ideas
Well I won't see you once you arrive
One way to escape bad ideas
Well I won't cry to you not that you would mind
One way to erase bad ideas
Well I won't see you once you arrive
One way to escape bad ideas
Well I won't cry to you not that you would mind
One way or another
I'll find my way to cover
I sing to find my other
Sing to find my
One way my lovely other
They find restless cover
You sing to another
Sing to find your
One way or another
I'll find my way to cover
I'd love to find my other
Love to find you
One way my lovely other
They'll restless cover
You've loved so many others

    Song Meaning

    You guys will get a KICK out of this. In an interview, Tegan said this song was originally called "Bad Idea" because that was the name she had the girl she was interested in listed as. And, this was her reminder to not call too much, don't rush .. have a reminder in your phone to not call her when drunk or sad or something that will rush things in that state or mind .....because it's a BAD IDEA.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

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.
