I can prove anything
I'll make you admit again and again
I can prove anything
The way that it's read again and again

And its only 'cause you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you?d be dead
Its only 'cause you follow what the others do
Its no excuse to say your easily lead

You can choose anything
You choose to lose again and again
You could do anything
Why should you do anything again

And its only 'cause you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you?d be dead
Winding yourself up until your turning blue
Repeating everything that you've read

So here we go with the letter
Well can you fix it for me
'Cause we need entertainment
To keep us all off the streets

So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed

You can try anything
And no-one would know apart for you and me
You can stop anything
It's starts with just one and two then three

Its only 'cause you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you?d be dead
Raise a glass or two
You raise a fist or two
And get a shopping basket wrapped round your head

Here we go with the letter
Oh can you fix it for me
Twenty four hour drinking
To keep us all off the streets

So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

    I think it refers to Ned/Chav culture in todays Britain. They do what they want, they are "easily swayed", papers like the Sun, the NOTW make them even more ignorant. They act like muppets and will play the hardman to impress their friends, but if their friends werent there to back them up, they would get the shit beaten out of them.

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
