Hey girl
Don't act surprised
You knew you'd see me here
It's a long, long time for you and me
Somewhere
Along the way
The light just left your eyes
And I'd hate to think it was because of me

Hope you're happy with that drone you found
And he's saying all those things that you want him to
Girl, I know you and you need those lies
'Cause the truth - it takes too much of you

Just one thing
Before I walk away
Honey, you're one dead moon
And I don't expect
That old silver light
To come back soon

Your beauty
Well there's no denying
You were the silver light of a big, bright moon
And I know
That when you tried to change me
You were so damn sure it was the only thing to do

But you ain't as clever as you think you are
And the fact is I miss your body more than I miss you
Can't be worried 'bout no wounded pride
'Cause for just this once I gotta tell the truth

Just one thing
Before I walk away
Honey, you're one dead moon
(Oh yes you are)
And I don't expect
That old silver light
To come back soon
(To come back soon)

Just one day
Before I walk away
Honey, you're one dead moon oh yeah yeah yeah
And I don't expect
That old silver light
To come back soon

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.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
