A] The Incentive

There must be a way to enrich our lives
A way to awaken a nation that dies
There must be a way to revive our past
A way to break free from a world that won't last

Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

There must be a way to reverse history
A way to resume life, return to the sea
There must be a way to win back all we lost
A way to escape this, whatever the cost

B] The Vision

Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place
Enter a brand new phase
Seed a world with a newborn race!

C] The Procedure

We have no choice, life is passing us by
We should rejoice, I say we should try

Every million cycles, shooting stars rip our sky
We could diver them, on the day they pass us by

And on that shining day there is a way
For our DNA to reach a world to stay

Do we have the right to create life?
And do we have the right to take it?
Can we decide who lives and dies?
Do you think they would even make it?

We have no choice , life is passing us by

We'll plant our seeds
And guide them to their goal
We cannot fail, we have absolute control

And on that shining day there is a way
For our DNA to reach a world to stay

Do we have the right to play gods?
I strongly feel I have to make a stance
Do you think we should take the odds?
Would they even stand a chance?
I don't think they ever will...
Ever will...no!

D] Another Life

Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

Take us back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take us back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

E] Newborn Race

Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place
Enter a brand new phase
Seed a world with a brand new race!

F] The Conclusion

We found a way to enrich our lives
A way to awaken a nation that dies

    "While Floor's Forever wants to come back "To when we lived another life", Daniel's Forever thinks, looking for a way to continue living but reviving their past. Tom's Forever suggests to "Explore the vastness of space", Jonas' say they should try, for their life is passing by, and Bob's Forever advises the use of their seeds. While Hansi's Forever hopes that their DNA one day will reach a world, Jørn's Forever question himself and the others about the fact of creating and destroying life. Jonas' Forever rushes the other, Bob's Forever rely on the absolute control, but Jørn's Forever doesn't believe that they will stand a chance. In the end, Jørn's Forever is persuaded of doing this, and Daniel's Forever cries that they have found a way "To awaken the nation that’s died"." -wiki

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
