Hatred swelling deep within the souls of all today
I commend it, I condone it, raging to a head
Festering the anger cannot be put down to rest
It still needs, it still breeds, it still waits to feed
Rotting core, dead before, searching, wanting more
Now it’s here, the nadir, fills with all our fear
Awakened
Death’s reasons
Coiled eternally around the necks of men
Sent to die
Infinite warfare despairing the destiny
Of our lives
Forced into battles with no answers, no reasons
Just to die
Preparing mentally dwelling in misery
Only to die
I spit forth derision to all the prophets of man
Only knowing the questions to why we live in sewers
The war of all wars is coming, soon we’ll all be dead
Now – deep in our core – just like before – facing death
Destined to die
Fear – trembles within – history begins – coming doom
Hardens the heart
Infliction of pain – casualties raise – bodies are strewn everywhere
Now – it is your turn – not to return – knowing you’re destined to die
Poising for, the blinding attack
The time to see, just how we will die
History, written in advance
The time has come, your hopeless to stop
Your fears dissolve, accepting your fate
Accepting the fact, you’re destined to die.
Seething, bleeding, tearing – into insanity
Fearless, reeling – pleading to die
Flesh is peeling, fleeing – into mortality
Blindly, crying – take your own life
Seething, bleeding, tearing – into insanity
Fearless, reeling – pleading to die
Flesh is peeling, fleeing – into mortality
Blindly, crying – take your own life
We can’t stop the end that we are all destined to see
There is no light in the darkness that has come to be
Forgive us for our trespasses for we will now sin.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

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.

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.
