Ever since the day you were we born you've been tipping the scales
On your own you try to pull them back, you always fail
Incrimination set by adding weight you can't undo
Your few good deeds will not compare to what you've stacked against you
Tipping the scales with your insolence
Tipping the scales with your greed
Tipping the scales with a wicked heart
That only leads to self destruction

All evil starts inside the heart before others can see
You're weighing down the scales whether or not
Those thoughts come to be
Even if you had the chance to have the scales set even again
You would weigh it all down in just one day from your thoughts within

Tipping the scales with your insolence
Tipping the scales with your greed
Tipping the scales with a wicked heart
That can only be changed if someone takes your blame

A sacrifice
If someone takes your blame
A sacrifice
Someone took your blame
A sacrifice

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
