Time holds us for the minute,
It drives the risks like penicillin
Each of these men holds a pentagram
So recent all the surge
They're pushing off the chest

We know we miss one cell
Should've combine to save brains.
How 'bout I teach you to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

He's gotten through the past
So he can blame few
Stop the chainsaw buzz
This passing eye-sore
These are the longest days
Sits like a razor
How many found?

We know we miss one cell
Should've combine to save brains.
How 'bout I teach you to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

This defines him
So useless these rules
Tempting timing
I should use the same tools

We know we miss one cell
Should've combine to save brains.
How 'bout I teach you to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

Should've combine to save brains.
How 'bout I teach you to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

Imagine this
Imagine this
Imagine this, one.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,

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.
