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.
Don't you worry about their kind
They'll be gone long after time
We'll be here, yes we'll be fine, we'll be fine
All the treasure that they sought
Has led them, bled them, just fear not
All their souls, their souls were bought, ours were not
When they think your scene
All they think, the green
Don't you know just what I mean, just what I mean
All the treasure
That they sought
Has led them, bled them, just fear not
All their souls, their souls were bought, ours were not

We are bringing what is raw

Bringing tooth and claw, oh
Your show, yes that I saw, yes that I saw
But after two times it got old
Yes the story it got cold
After two times it got
Old, bought and sold
Join me now in saying fuck
Join me now in saying you
Join me know in saying fuck you, fuck you
All
The treasure that they sought
Has led them, bled them, just fear not
All their souls, their souls were bought, ours were
Not

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
really really good song. really shows what devildriver has in store for us with their talent and musical ability. one of my favorites from this album personally
great song. makes me think of hell, like the demons weren't bought by God and they're talking about humans. "they'll be gone long after time"
to me it means that don't just sit there broken hearted. Get up and turn your life around. If some people are talking down on you. Get up and show them what you are able to do.
It means they will never sell-out. They make music for making music not for money.
