A war against time, destined to lose, I'll just sit and watch TV
A magical force, hypnotic drool, I'll take in all that I can see
I'm seeing chains... now hold me down, the recline of modern man
Neatly displayed and bundled lies, an hour glass and I'm the sand

Generator, decimator ahhh
Universal devastator ahhh
Substitution evolution ahhh
Electronic absolution ahhh

A cyber involved diversity, so straighten up and go online
Sexual drive intensity, the darkest pit that you can find

    My Interpretation

    This is not just about internet porn, its about the "recline of modern man" and in indictment of both television and the internet. The first verse is about how television is a huge waste of time and is full of lies. The second verse is about the degeneration of humans by the internet with examples. The third is about becoming disillusioned with it all, because these are changing our society so fast. We're losing ourselves.

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.

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.

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.
