Pick myself off the floor
We stand for nothing now
Once we stood for something more
I stand for something more
There's got to be something more in this life for me

The victim, you're always the victim
Turn my life away from you
The victim, you're always the victim
Turn my life away from you
Turn my life away from you

Now you see me, now you don't
Now you need me, now you don't
Now you fucking bleed me, now you don't

The victim, you're always the victim
Turn my life away from you
The victim, you're always the victim
Turn my life away from you

Don't come back again, I just want to forget
Don't come back to me
Don't come back

I don't want to remember, I just want to forget
Don't come back
Don't come back
I've turned my life away from you, I've turned my life away
I've turned my life away from you, I've turned my life away

I don't want to remember, I just want to forget
Turn my life away from you
Turn my life away from you
I don't want to remember, I don't want to remember
I don't want to remember, I don't want to remember

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.

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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
