without a sense of fear, i'll try to walk this life.
try to reflect what i feel on the inside.
you hold a blatent misinterpretation of a simpler day,
but the only thing they know about me is my name.
i accept that our perceptions on the same ideals will probably never be the same.

(throughout these trying days, my passion stays the same.
and i won't waste a chance to grow)
with everything i've ever learnt, i'll ensure that every second here is a second earnt.
(everything i've learnt from these failures, light the road.)

i can feel assumptions cloud around us.
but what i've come to realize, is that it doesn't mean anything.
despite this all, our goals remain the same.
it seems i'm cutting them out and it's to set them straight.

intervention, a misdirection.
so we're all looking the other way.
but your sons are waking up, and they aren't afraid to have their say.
we can't arrive with reason if our irrational fears will block our way.

(throughout these trying days, my passion stays the same.
and i won't waste a chance to grow.)
with everything i've ever learnt, i'll ensure that every second here is a second earnt.
(everything i've learnt from these failures, light the road.)
who else but i, will decide when my pride is to set alight.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
