I suggested at a truce, you spat out some excuse,
You're violent, violent,
They don't like you hanging round, you're bleeding on their ruby ground,
You're violent, violent,
Took you to a part of town, when amber calming people down,
It's no use, you're violent,
Just what everybody needs, another fucking gallery,
You're violent, vi - o - lent.

We'll take your dreams or lack of money,
We'll take your dreams or lack of money, (violent),
We'll take your dreams, (violent),
Or lack of money, (violent),
We'll take your dreams, (violent),
Or lack of money, (violent).

You would always around, the dangerous part of town,
For some excuse, for violence,
Bumping, into those with bling bling, on their wrists,
You're violent, violent,
Mum said keep an eye on you, she's scared of what you might do,
Your future, is over,
I would be amazed if you made it past 25,
You?re violent, vi - o - lent.

We'll take your dreams or lack of money,
We'll take your dreams or lack of money, (violent),
We'll take your dreams, (violent),
Or lack of money, (violent),
We'll take your dreams, (violent),
Or lack of money, (violent).

Introduce you some new friends, that would be the end of them,
You're violent, you'd eat them,
Gave you a chance to be a part of their society,
It's no use, you'd eat them,
People would run away, when the???
You're violent, violent,
Demonic males are bound to fail, in the ground or in jail,
Violent, vi - o - lent.

We'll take your dreams or lack of money,
We'll take your dreams or lack of money, (violent),
We'll take your dreams, (violent),
Or lack of money, (violent),
We'll take your dreams, (violent),
Or lack of money, (violent),
We'll take your dreams, (violent),
Or lack of money, (violent),
We'll take your dreams, (violent),
Or lack of money,
Violent.

    Yeah, I'm not sure... it makes more sense if it's "was it your genes"

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.

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/

Blue
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
