BE AT PEACE
Be at peace and perceive deeper love
Speak only truth and you'll hear
Let no war come before or between to take life away
Why do we have to lose ourselves so foolishly / no, we never find out why
So let out works carry over through this time all we hope for
Be at peace 'til we rise again

Be at peace / keep your mind clear
Release what you rely or defend
You will fear no one who steps on your island
Who would smile and steal your property in silence
Violence has a dreadful purpose
Hand that work this cause more curses
See down further paths we pave / do they splinter, break-up or do they remain?
So can the people conspire to dream beyond the day-to-day
We think we see the four walls we design to shutter the soul
We take these licks in life, belief in right we live with our pain
Some fight this, making crisis in our way

Some desperate to die I cannot know their pain
But the ones who make light of their days will lose their way

So be at peace and we make them furious
Don't you litter the path to seek glory
If you fall you'll have found your end story
So we pick emotion can you hear me calling
So put your mind where there's room to grow
Don't put your mind on the needs of just today / an eventuality
You'll become a slave to speed and personality
Don't put your life in the hands of those
Who terrorize by taking life away from the
Song that we sing everyday
From the sun that we greet everyday

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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

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.
