I run down the street, with all the wandering things
Everyone can see, the world is coming free
The monumental minds will dangle on a wire
The great enormous wall, eventually will fall

And all the world is waiting
To lay beneath the water
To use up from the ruins
And climb up from the bottom

I thought I heard you say, “The end is on the way”
I thought I heard you sing a million lovely things
I thought I heard you cry, a howling through the night
An everlasting scream, to echo through your dreams

And all the world is waiting
To lay beneath the water
To rise up from the ruins
And climb up from the bottom

It was always growing there, a dim light in my eyes
Coming on to lead me through the night
All at once then slowly every sound you’ve ever known
Is hummed by all the world in a drone

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

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.
