If they come looking for hellfire, I've got it
If I could have died by now, I'd be rotting
Always gotta keep my hands in my pockets
They're all burned up from sticking shit in electrical sockets

How do you keep the weight off?
People always ask the stupidest shit
How do you keep the weight off?
How about I don't want to talk about it?

Fuck it, I cast bad vibes on you
Do you know how it feels when the sun won't shine on you? I do.
I'll say it again
I've said it before

Raise your hands to your breast and do your best to expect death

If they come looking for hellfire, I've got it
Up on my red rotten mountain of rust
Always gotta keep my hands in my pockets
Because I've got a touch that makes mens souls erupt

How do you keep the weight off?
People always ask the stupidest shit
How do you keep the weight off?
How about I don't want to talk about it?

Fuck it, I cast bad vibes on you
Do you know how it feels when the sun won't shine on you? I do.
I'll say it again
I've said it before

But no, I'm not the hooded thing
That stole the eyes of Laurence King
But no, I'm not the hungry one
The dark of space that will consume the sun

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,

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
