They're moving Earth outside
The ground is shaking like no beat
A dense terrible sound
At once both teeming and asleep

It seems to me to be a sign
I don't believe in such, and yet
It seems to me to keep one eye
On the situation's best

It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go

It's really not that kind
To terrorize one in one's sleep
And if you really tried
You'd probably cut the chase too deep

It seems to me that that's a fine way
To keep you off your feet
Their seems to be no over side
For the two ideas to meet

It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go

Gotta keep your mind on somewhere else
Gotta keep from thinking of your health
Strange how your mind works

Oh no, I hit rock bottom
Oh no, I hit rock bottom

It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go

Gotta keep your mind on somewhere else
Gotta keep from thinking of your health
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works

    Stanza 1- There's a problem that's not too big of a deal yet, but it is "teeming." This could represent anything addiction, relationship problems, whatever.

    Stanza 2- He realizes he needs to pay attention to the problem

    Stanza 3- He thinks it's too much stress to watch the problem, and he's better off not worrying about it. It doesn't seem like it's a big enough problem to stress about.

    Stanza 4 and 5- Just sya how ridiculous that mentality is. They are saying that though avoiding our problems give us tmeporary relief, they just allow the problems to fester and grow.

    I love how casual the rock bottom part is. I'm imagining a person who has completely ignored all of his problems for so long just coming to some casual realazation that he "hit rock bottom." It's lamost funny in a way.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

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.
