No love, no peace
Spend your days counting sheep
When you're dead, you're done, you're dead, you die
And life goes on
Born low, no lives
Wasting your days, waiting to die
I wouldn't mind if you never woke up again
Goodbye my friend
No hopes, all dreams
Breaking away from reality
Today is the day you see the consequence
May you never wake up again

I will walk even after I'm dead
I will bring the dead to life
When they put a price on your head
Say goodbye to your wonderful life
I have seen the lying face of God
I have seen the ends of the earth
We have already lived too fucking long
May we regret our birth

I was born a monster
I will die the same
No one can live forever
I will become a household name

Born low, no lives
Wasting your days, waiting to die
I wouldn't mind If you never woke up again
Goodbye my friend
No hopes, all dreams
Breaking away from reality
Today is the day you see the consequence
May you never wake up again

We will choke the ones we love
Your admiration means nothing to us
When push comes to fucking shove
We never do what's expected of us
We all want to be a part of something
But I swear you want none of this
We live our lives afraid to die
But these dreams are selfish

I hate everything you love
I hate everything you love
I hate everything you love
I hate everything you love

Born low, no lives
Wasting your days, waiting to die
I wouldn't mind If you never woke up again
Goodbye my friend
No hopes, all dreams
Breaking away from reality
Today is the day you see the consequence
May you never wake up again

Led Zeppelin
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.
