Well I don’t have your number anymore
You probably changed it anyway
You always were the fastest one around
We had a fight and went our separate ways
But I don’t count the days since you had your
10,000th day
Congratulations
Do you still celebrate your revolution on the cover of the
Rolling Stone

And I’m just painting the drips on the wall
I’m just painting the drips on the wall now
It’s easier than painting the whole wall
I’m meeting all the people in the hall
They say “How are you”

Do you ever think about the past
Do you ever check in with yourself
Walking around wondering who I am
The answer comes in big blobs of red
Dripping to the floor
Congratulations
Do you still celebrate your evolution
With a haircut and one more photo shoot

And I’m just painting the drips on the wall
I’m just painting the drips on the wall now
It’s easier than painting the whole wall
I’m meeting all the people in the hall
They say “Hello”

Sometimes I wonder about change
But change doesn’t wonder about me
So I figure it’s enough to live, do anything at all
We all got stuff to give
Congratulations
You made it through another year of life
Hope you find some piece of mind

And I’m just painting the drips on the wall now
I’m just painting the drips on the wall
It’s easier than painting the whole wall
I’m meeting all the people in the hall
They say “Hello”

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
