Here we go again; so familiar to me.
Girl, don't start with the phony apologies.
Oh, I'm better with your cute smile & lovey stuff,
In a sense, don't cover the guilt enough...
It never did.

No, I'm tired of being overlooked.
I can't take it no more.
Girl, it sure does seem to me,
This happened once before.

Baby, we've been here once before

She knows how to draw their attention.
She knows how to make everybody look her way.
Just when you think that she's in love,
you're gonna find that she was only playin' games.

I'm tired of bein overlooked, baby
I ain't gonna take it- no take it no more, babe.
Girl, it sure does seem to me,
This happened once before.

We've been here once before.
We've been here baby, I know,
Once, twice, maybe three times.

I'm tired of bein' overlooked.
I ain't gonna take it -no take it no more babe
Girl it sure does seem to me,
This happened once before.
We've been here once before.
This happened once before.
We've been here once before.
This happened once before.
We've been here once before.
This happened once before.
We've been here once before.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
