This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Comes a time when you get turned around and
Life itself just wears you out but
You keep getting ready for the big parade
Ah, you shine your shoes and you fake a smile
Salute the players with that famous style
'Cause keeping up has kept you in chains
I was thinking that if you know a way out
Then I'd like to go with you
And we can burn out like candles
Under that paper moon
They just don't know anything at all
They just don't know anything at all
You'll fight traffic jams and big TVs and
Hipsters trapped in their own irony but
You'll finally think about settling down
Oh, you quit your job and you sell your car
You'll burn your clothes and pray to the stars 'cause
You swore to God that you'd never end up this way
I was thinking that if you know a way out
Then I'd like to go with you
And we can burn out like candles
Under that paper moon
They just don't know anything at all
They just don't know anything at all
At all, at all, at all, at all
Comes a time when you get turned around
Life itself just wears you out
You keep getting ready for that big parade
Life itself just wears you out but
You keep getting ready for the big parade
Ah, you shine your shoes and you fake a smile
Salute the players with that famous style
'Cause keeping up has kept you in chains
I was thinking that if you know a way out
Then I'd like to go with you
And we can burn out like candles
Under that paper moon
They just don't know anything at all
They just don't know anything at all
You'll fight traffic jams and big TVs and
Hipsters trapped in their own irony but
You'll finally think about settling down
Oh, you quit your job and you sell your car
You'll burn your clothes and pray to the stars 'cause
You swore to God that you'd never end up this way
I was thinking that if you know a way out
Then I'd like to go with you
And we can burn out like candles
Under that paper moon
They just don't know anything at all
They just don't know anything at all
At all, at all, at all, at all
Comes a time when you get turned around
Life itself just wears you out
You keep getting ready for that big parade

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Thanks for posting the lyrics. This song is amazing, This song should shut all the whiny people up that want old OLP back.. This song does it.

I disagree, this isn't much like the old OLP, it's a lot like the songs on the last album.<br /> I enjoy it, though. They're growing and reshaping their music and style.<br /> <br /> Although, the thing I miss the most is Raine's falsetto [which only appears for 2 words in this entire album, both words are in this song - "Like" and "That"]. That was a gigantic part of the OLP sound, in my opinion, and it feels like the songs are missing something with out it now.<br /> <br /> I also really miss Mike Turner's guitar parts. I liked the progressive rock feel of Naveed, the most, but I've pretty much loved everything since [in fact it was Gravity that got me into the band].<br /> <br /> Regardless, this band is what they are now and I love them just the same. They'll hopefully continue to make music in any style they feel inspired to make.
Thanks so much! I couldn't word what it was that I missed about his singing and that just did it. I kept saying "it's like he's not going all out as much or something..." It's totally the falsetto. And spiritual machines is what got me into them and I consider myself a uge fan since they're my favorite band. =)
