The song I sang goes I'm coming home
More and more this year
I think about how I failed
and what should it been?

Something's got me in the mood to
Spill my guts and let you know

Three hundred days and sixty-five
To set things right
To do what you say this time
You know I wouldn't lie

Well something's got me in the mood to
Spill my guts and let you know
I know it's not the cleanest slate
But I'll try again and that's what it's gotta take
(Think I)
Need to get it right next holiday

Hey, hey, hey! 3x

You never do remember
what you should
And I'm drawing blanks
on an empty page

Well something's got me in the mood to
Spill my guts and let you know
I know it's not the cleanest slate
But I'll try again and that's what it's gotta take
(Think I)
Need to get it right next holiday

Hey, hey, hey! 3x

Here I've made you a card
Not from the shelf
But straight from the heart
And here's what it says
I made some mistakes
But you're gonna miss me

Cause now,
I'm cracking a smile
I'm fixing a meal, I'm making my bed
I'm taking a while, I'm soaking it in
Cause here comes a new year

Oh I've made a mistake
To imitate,
I've been a lush
And I've been afraid, of making a change
I'm marking a new year

I'm trying again and that's what it's gotta take
(Think I)
Need to get it right next holiday

Hey, hey, that's okay!
Hey, what a holiday!
Hey, hey, that's O-kay,
And don't drink on a holiday!

(I'm not too sure about that last verse)

    this song, in my opinion, is saying that in the spirit of the new year and the idea of a new years resolution, its time to turn life around and/or change things to better yourself. That some mistakes have been made in the aspects of drugs, relationships, and choices in general, but its time for a clean slate and learn from those choices to get another shot at life.

    this song really related to me at the turn of this year because i made some really big choices that brought me close to death, and i used this interpretation as my drive to kick start my life in the right direction.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.

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.
