Alone I face the sun
The burning has begun
I live to find a way
A never ending phase

My heart is on display
And I long to find my place
A light to shine right through
All of the shadows on my face

So shine for me as one
Cast the shadow on the sun
A light to find my way
I hope tomorrow comes today

Another day goes by
Alone I wonder why
Beginnings seem so close
And endings fade away

So difficult for anyone to see
I barely recognize this image of me
And I'm trying to hide the scars
All of them blistering on me

So shine for me as one
Cast the shadow on the sun
A light to find my way
I hope tomorrow comes today

And I will be the one
A shadow on the sun
A light to find a way
Because tomorrow comes today

And I have the strength to overcome
I have the will to carry on
And I'm not scared to face this world
On my own

On my own

Alone I face the sun
The burning has begun
A light is shining through
And it brings me back to you

So shine for me as one
Cast the shadow on the sun
A light to find my way
I hope tomorrow comes today

And I will be the one
A shadow on the sun
A light to find a way
Because tomorrow comes today

I hope tomorrow comes today

I hope tomorrow comes today

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
