Get rolled with the fever on the dance floor

Now who got a fever for the flavor
Who can dig the way that I flex on a track, I'm causin' rampage
Ricky Rick on point with da 9-5 style from my lips, they'll be rollin' mad joints
So put your hands in the air 'cause there's a party over here so grab yourself a beer
Or we can get our fever on I'm with it, so let me put my big brown beaver on
I'm coming with the discos, I can flip so, I'ma try the solo tip
Something for the honeys in the crowd, lend me your ear so I can turn the party out
'Til tomorrow afternoon, 'cause when I raise my spirits, no one leaves the room
So can ya tell do ya feel the
Mad skills coming with the fever, fever, fever

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Get rolled with the fever on the dance floor

Step to the side, you'd better run and hide
More to the side, everybody wants to stay alive

Everybody's in the house, we had to run this back so you can bring your flares out
N-Trance and the only one, we got it goin' on, so let me get my flowin' on
It's the blast from the pasts that you heard of, me and the boys comin' down with murder
And it's gotta be da way, everybody wants to make a move, so just party
Or we can have a jam, so get your move on, I'ma take this groove and slam
Flip how I want it flipped, from the back to the front, when I drops me the manuscript
'Cause I got the moves, and I'm always gonna flow with the crazy, crazy groove
So can ya tell do ya feel the
Mad skills coming with the fever, fever, fever

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Get rolled with the fever on the dance floor

Step to the side, you'd better run and hide
More to the side, everybody wants to stay alive (yeah)
Step to the side, you'd better run and hide
More to the side, everybody wants to stay alive

Everybody in the house c'mon and let me hear you say "Ho" (Ho)
Everybody in the house c'mon and let me hear you say "Ho, ho" (Ho, ho)
Everybody in the house c'mon and let me hear you say "Ho" (Ho)
Everybody in the house c'mon and let me hear you say "Ho, ho, ho" (Ho, ho, ho)

It's about time, everybody in the house bust a move to my vicious rule and rhymes
Ricky Rick on the tip, with my boys bringin' disco noise, as I drop the wickedness
Getting sharp with the flow, we took a Bees Gees loop, and broke it down like Lego
A disco lick that's deeper, 'cause we gotta get with da fever, fever, fever

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Get rolled with the fever on the dance floor

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
