This is what I had left when the sun began to fade.
This is all I ever felt would bring the fear in your eyes.
This is what I had left when the sun began to fade.
This is what I had kept in mind as we began to rise.

Do you believe we are the only ones?
Seems like we are the only ones,
Who accept everything and get told nothing.

Will it be the same as it always was
Is it something that I always dreamt it could but never was.
Too many things remain untold
Don’t hide your tongues. Don’t hide at all.

Can you see what’s changed, it won’t stay the same
And now you take away the things I always dreamt about.
Too many things remain untold
Don’t hide your tongues. Don’t hide at all.

This isn’t a joke for me, this is me not knowing what to believe.

You will stand your ground as the sky comes down.
You will stand your ground as the sky comes down.

Question everything.

I do not fear failure
Even when screamed it in my face
I’ve traveled on nothing to nowhere
I’m here to hear my faith

I do not fear failure
Even when screamed in my face
So I’ll adapt you to all my surroundings
And thank all who took my place

Will it be the same as it always was
Is it something that I always dreamt it could but never was.

Too many things remain untold
Don’t hide your tongues. Don’t hide at all.

Could you see what’s changed, it won’t stay the same
And now you take away the things I always dreamt about.

Too many things remain untold
Don’t hide your tongues. Don’t hide at all.

Take to the skies, with your brothers
Question everything, question everything
Sing to the lost, with each other.
And you will love again, and you will love again.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
