I was caught in a place far away
From the light
What I saw
I couldn't face
So I closed my eyes

Wish I could turn back the page
Re-write my point of view
Save all the time you waste (got to get gone, gone)
Don't let it escalate
Don't fight, it's just no use
There's nothing left to say
Got to get gone, gone, gone

Forever is over
And my hearts not gonna fight
Forever is over
And I'm no longer afraid
Cause if I don't get out now
I may never escape
Your power is fading away and
I'm getting so stuck to the place

I belong
Forever is over
Over, over, over, over, over
I don't want you to tell me
You found someone
Cause I got no distance left to run

Wish I could turn back the page
Re-write my point of view
Save all the time you waste (got to get gone, gone)
Don't let it escalate
Don't fight, it's just no use
There's nothing left to say
Got to get gone, gone, gone

Forever is over
And my hearts not gonna fight
Forever is over
And I'm no longer afraid
Cause if I don't get out now
I may never escape
Your power is fading away and
I'm getting so stuck to the place

I belong
Forever is over
Over, over, over, over, over
I'm on the other side
And now I realize
I'm in paradise cause
You're out my life

Forever is over
And my hearts not gonna fight
Forever is over
And I'm no longer afraid
Cause if I don't get out now
I may never escape
Your power is fading away and
I'm getting so stuck to the place
I belong
Forever is over

    I'm surprised nobody has commented on this, I really like it! :) I think it's just me being deaf, but where they say "and I'm no longer afraid", I was convinced they were singing "and I'm goin' suck her face" Haha, apparently not.

    Lyric Correction

    I think that there are a few mistakes in the lyrics here

    Don't let it escalate (Instead of escalade)

    Forever is over, and my hearts not going to break (Instead of fight)

    and I'm getting closer to the place where I belong (Instead of stuck)

    It's about a girl finally freeing herself from a bad relationship, but she'll be okay as now she just wants to get out as 'Forever is Over'.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

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,

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
