Electron

Serj Tankian

We follow the ever-falling rain
Electrons protons fight again
So, we run
We follow the ever-rising sun
With feelings of all becoming one
Then, we fly
We fly in our dreams ever so bold
Swimming the seas covered with gold
Behold, proceed
Proceed with the blessing of all the gods
Amidst the time of men at odds
See, believe

Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright

Storm shines bright
Storm shines bright

Grapevines of thoughts lighting the skies
Overwhelmingly of demise
So, we sing
We sing to the spirit world so close
Providing our vital life force
Then, we breathe
We breathe with the breath of I-Ching
With the spirit that moves through all things
Now, we see
Seeing of all that is alive
Will be the way to survive
Life, released

Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright

Storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
So bright

    "It's a pretty old song. I've had in the vaults for quite a bit of time actually. To me, it's like a poetry of our existence. It talks about nature and spirituality and what we're facing in the times to come in a very poetic way." artistdirect.com/nad/news/article/0,,6665822,00.html

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

When We Were Young
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/

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.
