Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Swollen, always, brings it home
(Swollen always brings it home)
We do it, up where, we belong
And Moka Only, always, brings it home
(Moka always brings it home)
Let's do it, up and, keep it on
We built a foundation, brick by brick
Eye for an eye, keep your eyes on this
The shadows move in the strangest forms,
Our music in your ear is like a dangerous storm
And when we perform, it's a whole new arena
We raise the stakes while you follow the leader
This song's a heater, long live the speaker
S&M the name explains the main feature
I'm an abnormal creature with pummelin' action
Feature presentation plus the comin' attraction
Asians, Iranians, all same opinion
Indians, blacks and whites and East Indians
Latins, girls draped in lace and satin
North Van to Venice, T-Dot to Manhattan
All get the picture, it's not quite invitin'
Mad Child's excitin', strike of white lightnin'
Swollen, always, brings it home
(Swollen always brings it home)
We do it, up where, we belong
And Moka Only, always, brings it home
(Moka always brings it home)
Let's do it, up and, keep it on
Where would we be in the world
If we never did our thing?
Please believe me it's my world
Everybody hear me sing now
If you've never heard of us I'm sorry you ain't hip
Here's another track because we always come equipped
Moka love the ladies and the ladies lovin' Mok'
Ain't no need to argue 'cause we're just so fuckin' dope
Take it with a grain of salt or maybe with your drink
Thankin' Swollen Members 'cause they keep the party crank
Like dang dicky dicky dang dicky dang dang
'Cause we bring it home, put it on, make it this way
I stay low to the ground so I can keep my balance
The element of surprise, the advantage of silence
And all you root beer motherfuckers floatin' around
I pop your top you must be watered down
No fears of the glowin' lights of show biz
Young kids, I'll show you whose show it is
Swollen Members hits hard like Heartbreak Ridge
I put my heart into this, no alternative
That's affirmative, we burn with passion, smashin'
Flashin' on kids too concerned with fashion
Handlin' my business, we last longest
My whole congress, strong as King Kong is
Sledgehammer grammar, thunderbolt jolt
Mad Child what you got under your coat?
Adrenaline pump and I'm swingin' an axe
Swollen Members bring it home while Moka sing on the tracks
Swollen, always, brings it home
(Swollen always brings it home)
We do it, up where, we belong
And Moka Only, always, brings it home
(Moka always brings it home)
Let's do it, up and, keep it on
And Rob The Viking, always, brings it home
We do it, up where, we belong
And Moka Only, always, brings it home
(Moka always brings it home)
Let's do it, up and, keep it on
(Swollen always brings it home)
We do it, up where, we belong
And Moka Only, always, brings it home
(Moka always brings it home)
Let's do it, up and, keep it on
We built a foundation, brick by brick
Eye for an eye, keep your eyes on this
The shadows move in the strangest forms,
Our music in your ear is like a dangerous storm
And when we perform, it's a whole new arena
We raise the stakes while you follow the leader

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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
this is an awesome song
