In the worst of your fears
You have come so far to hear
That in turn they've showered your name
As the laughing stock
Now by fire, you must hang
As my word holds course through vein
You will walk to the end of days
I'll gravitate towards you
I will, in the now, hate you, whoa, whoa
These days are numbered, this close encounter
To the heartland, through the madness

I'll make you wish you hadn't burned our time before
I'll live through this
In a manner cursed at my own accord
I don't want to go
So come on bitch, why aren't you laughing now?
You left me here to fend on my own
So cry on bitch, why aren't you laughing now

In my presence you will make sure the fiction meets its fate
That death will grace your face, my dear character
Through these lessons you have learned
All the worlds from here must burn
For as God demands that the end, we miss

I'll make you wish you hadn't burned our time before
I'll live through this
In a manner cursed at my own accord
I don't want to go
So come on bitch, why aren't you laughing now?
You left me here to fend on my own
So cry on bitch, why aren't you laughing now? Yeah

Whoa, if my shame spills our worth across this floor
Whoa, then tonight, goodnight, I'm burning Star IV
Only I don't even want to think of you
No, I don't want to think of you anymore
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye

If then, should they come home
With failed attempt, we'll know
I won't leave stone unturned
These worlds will surely burn

Wait, wait
Wait, wait
Wait, wait
Wait, wait
Wait, wait
Wait, wait

But what did I do to
To deserve all of you

Jesse, bad boy, just come look at what your brother did
To that girl's precious little whore of a body
Jesse, bad boy, just come look at what your brother did
To that girl's precious little whore of a body now

Jesse, just come look at what your brother did
To that girl's precious little whore of a body now
Jesse, just come look at what your brother did
To that girl's precious little whore of a body now

I'll make you wish you hadn't burned our time before
I'll live through this
In a manner cursed at my own accord
I don't want to go
So come on bitch, why aren't you laughing now?
You left me here to fend on my own
So cry on bitch, why aren't you laughing now? Yeah

Whoa, if my shame spills our worth across this floor
Whoa, then tonight, goodnight, I'm burning Star IV
Only I don't even want to think of you
No, I don't want to think of you anymore
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

But I don't want to think of you
No girl, I don't want to think of you anymore
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/

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.
