It's time now to turn off the light
This has been such a beautiful night
We have served you a lot of delights
And some really wonderful sights

My friend, this is the end
So long and see you soon again
Bye bye, kissing you hi
Someday we will be back together

[Chorus]
Goodbye to the circus
We hope you enjoyed the show
Now it's nearly at the end
But it will be back, you know

It will be back, you know
It will be back, you know

You have given us all of the best
You are beating inside our chest
Staying with us as time has gone by
Gave us hope when tide was high

My friend, this is the end
So long and see you soon again
Bye bye, kissing you hi
Someday we will be back together

[Chorus]

The band played on, from dusk till dawn
And time is almost gone
The beat goes on, it's almost done
This music marathon

It will be back, you know
It will be back, you know

So ,

[Chorus]

So,

[Chorus]

We will be back, you know
We will be back, you know

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.

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,

Punchline
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.
