This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I wish there was something I could do for you
I wish there were some words I could say
But I know that you thought it out so well
And I know there is nothing I should say
Figured it all out, figured it all out
And nothing stands up to my ideology
And truth is built on shaky ground
Depression's all I get from philosophy
Do I really, do I really want the truth I found?
Who is to blame
The educated remains of dead scholars?
So tell me, what's the point of surviving?
Why do we try so hard to stay alive?
We know that nothing we do really matters
And it will wash away with time
It will wash away with time (wash away with time)
But there's a feeling I get when the amp is loud enough
There's a feeling I get when she smiles at me
And there's a feeling I get when staying awake with you
Stay awake with you
And that is all there is, then that is all I need
And someday you will see it's true
Body grows tired when no sleep can mend it
And time has chased and killed all of our friends
There is no place left in the sky for them to send us to
Just lay down and let the light come under the door?
Cover up our dreams, cover up the years
And you take, our bodies will make raspberries grow
I wish there were some words I could say
But I know that you thought it out so well
And I know there is nothing I should say
Figured it all out, figured it all out
And nothing stands up to my ideology
And truth is built on shaky ground
Depression's all I get from philosophy
Do I really, do I really want the truth I found?
Who is to blame
The educated remains of dead scholars?
So tell me, what's the point of surviving?
Why do we try so hard to stay alive?
We know that nothing we do really matters
And it will wash away with time
It will wash away with time (wash away with time)
But there's a feeling I get when the amp is loud enough
There's a feeling I get when she smiles at me
And there's a feeling I get when staying awake with you
Stay awake with you
And that is all there is, then that is all I need
And someday you will see it's true
Body grows tired when no sleep can mend it
And time has chased and killed all of our friends
There is no place left in the sky for them to send us to
Just lay down and let the light come under the door?
Cover up our dreams, cover up the years
And you take, our bodies will make raspberries grow

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
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
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
And nothing stands up to biology And truth is built on shady ground Depression's all I get from philosophy Do I really, do I really want the truth I found?
I think those are the real lyrics, but I'm not totally sure. I LOVE this song. It's so nice because you can relate to it- it conveys a feeling of real helplessness and fatigue. I think it's very nice.
