you could never put it
on a map once you're in
there's no turning back
we work together or we
don't work at all nothin
you can do will make us fall
pokinatcha
he's meaningful to us but
not to you he's the one
true center of our lives
his light is shining thro-
ugh and on to you it's
your choice he'll always
be there waiting
pokinatch! punx!

    Holla... this is one mucho grande song... right. I never took spanish so I don't know what I just said. Anywho, as for what this song means, it's about how the love of God is something that you can't really describe, but once you have it, it becomes a part of you and it affects everything you do. Everything you do is affected by it. When Mike says nothin you can do will make us fall, he refers to the power of Christians in large groups. Even the phrase "Pokinatcha Punx" refers to in your face, umm, ness. yes. in-your-face-ness. Then the last part is where he says he's meaningful to us but not to you is where he says that Christ means alot to him and the band, yet alot of people he knows don't care one way or the other about Him. They live their lives reflecting God (his light is shining through and on to you)and it's your choice as to whether you want to ask them about it or talk to God (he'll always be there watching) Booyah! also, check out Blankly Fallen. They are cool dudes!

    i guess that your meanings make sence, but i think it has a different meaning. its about punks, hence pokinatcha punx.

    The song title refers to the punk kid logo that they call a Pokinatcha Punk. So in turn I have heard that some MxPx fans refer to them selfs as Pokinatcha Punks. So I think what he is referring to is what we as Pokinatha Punks believe in and how we live our lives.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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,

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.
