Walking down the paths of neverending lies
It makes your story super-size
In your mind there's a fright
Are you hiding from the spying? (you can't)
You wear a mask with a bitter smile
'Cause nowadays it brings the highest price
On the outside you live a different life
So where's your game on ?
What's your play now ?

All the secrets that you hide
Like a little demons rise
Will they come together to daylight?
Standing naked in the crowd
Be in trap without the pride
Now you see the size of illusion

You're running away to forget
Now it's time to regret it
You're trying to make all things straight
Hope it's just not too late for...

The world is going down to be insane
You say it rains when they spit on your face
Your determination is so high
Just to be detected in a spot of light... loser !
Losing grip of reality
Gets you to the point where you start to believe
That...
You made creation of "who you have to be"
Being so unfaithful to your own morality

All the secrets that you hide
Like a little demons rise
Will they come together to daylight?
Standing naked in the crowd
Be in trap without the pride
Now you see the size of illusion

You're running away to forget
Now it's time to regret it
You're trying to make all things straight
Hope it's just not too late for...

You can't deny hollow in your eyes
It reflects what you keep inside
Behind the wall that's collapsing now
There's nothing left of who you really are !!

You can't deny hollow in your eyes
It reflects what you keep inside
Behind the wall that's collapsing now
There's nothing left, there's nothing left
of who you really are

Can't you see it's all over now ?
Can't you see it's all over...

NOW...

All the secrets that you hide
Like a little demons rise
Will they come together to daylight?
Standing naked in the crowd
Be in trap without the pride
Now you see the size of illusion

You're running away to forget
Now it's time to regret it
You're trying to make all things straight
Hope it's just not too late for...

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,

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/

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.
