You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd betta watch yourself
You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself
You'd better watch yourself

It's like a stranger had a key, came inside of my mind
And moved all my things around
He didn't know snakes can hear the prey
Can't try to break the psyche down

Yeah

It's in my half frozen wax
And your artillery lead
Do you like our bed
Do you like our bed

Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep
Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep

It's like a stranger had a key, came inside of my mind
And moved all my things around
He didn't know snakes can hear the prey
Can't try to break my psyche down

It's in my half frozen wax
And your artillery lead
Do ya like our bed
Do ya like our bed

It's in my half-frozen wax
And your artillery lead
Do you like our bed
Do you like our bed

Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep
Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep

Yeah

You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself
Wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself
You'd better watch yourself better watch yourself

Love is evil
Con is confidence
Eros is sore
Sin is sincere
Love is evil
Con is confidence
Eros is sore
Sin is sincere
Love is evil
Con is confidence
Eros is sore
Sin is sincere
Love is evil
Con is confidence
Eros is sore
Sin is sincere
Sin is sincere
Sin is sincere
Sin is sincere

Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep
Deep 6, 6, 6 feet deep

You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself
You wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus
You'd better watch yourself

    Song Fact

    "you wanna know what Zeus said to Narcissus," you'd better watch yourself" refers to Greek mythology. When Narcissus looked at his reflection in the water, he fell in love with himself, so he went into the water and drowned. This is where the term, narcissist/narcissism comes from.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

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.

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.
