no mistakes, no...no mistakes. debts and demands are all around. no time for your own life, some day you'll drown. using your time, softening your minds. running through the circus, just like a clown. no mistakes, no mistakes. chorus: 'cuz the clock ticks as you play, there's not much you can say. pulling from you, you just don't know. the u.s. a vacuum, pocket books it's a doom. there's no way out. no mistakes, no mistakes. i say no mistakes must be made. no mistakes, no mistakes. i say no mistakes must be made...must be made. chorus: the jester in his court, killing people just for sport. using you, there's no way out. the leaders laugh in their thrones, sucking life from the home. pulling from you, you just don't know lapsing at you until you drop, working on you until you snap. there's no way back. no mistakes, no, no, no mistakes. you can't make no mistakes. you punch a clock like a clone. cable t.v. in every home, programming you...you just don't know. don't live a life of sin, be a mannequin. life is a game, you're just like a rock. sit down and be quiet, you just can't talk, they're laughing at you, until you snap. you're so screwed, messed up crack... laugh and scream like dying hounds exploitation in every town. people, they just don't have the say. such a stupid game that you play. better walk a straight line. before you know it you are behind. fight justice, stay alive. maybe you'll win, maybe you'll die. got a life of destruction, save the nation. you don't have much to say, 'cuz that's the american way. live at home and rot, it's a social plot. live at home anf rot, it's a social plot. don't stop, fight back. it's a social plot. don't stop, fight back...

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
