The weatherman says goodnight
The empire state buildings turning of its lights
The refrigerator stops
And suddenly it's quiet
I never noticed the ceilings were so low
I never saw all the cracks on the window
I never saw myself as sentimental
But here I go
Without you

I've been standing round you like a statue
Laying on the floor thinking about you
I talk to myself like the crazies do
Otherwise I'm great
what about you?
Ain't nothing going on here but the rent
I can't account for how my days are spent
I want to draw the line between who I am

The weatherman says blues skies but it's raining
Like the clouds all decided to cry
And every time you hurt me I say “It's
All right it's all right it's all right”
Without you I've been standing round
You're like a statue
Laying on the couch all day like cats do
Waiting for the phone to ring
But it won't ring
Without you

    Wow..

    The weatherman says blue skies but it’s raining Like the clouds all decided to cry And every time you hurt me I say “It’s all right it’s all right it’s all right”

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
