How will we ever win this war?
How can we fight what just won't die?
They've got strength and number more,
so we must use the power of our minds.

We need a spark, something new,
something great to turn the tide.
I've got plans, how 'bout you?
There's a way we can survive.
Clear the room, sit right here.
Sir, I promise to impress.
We'll give the dead something to fear,
and here's the key to our success.

Build the robot armies high,
unleash the soldiers made of steel.
Though we fight on and we die,
our cyber-army fears nothing
as wave upon wave of the undead will crash
on their cold walls.
Build the robot armies high,
or the human race will fall.

What's the cost of such a plan?
Will there be measures left to take?
Is there a planet left for man,
or will we die for our mistakes?

Listen, sir, he has a point,
our strongholds have begun to fail.
The walls still crack, the children faint,
there's little chance we will prevail.
Where there's a will, there's a way;
the clockwork army is the key.
We'll live again, we'll win the day,
your order, sir, is all we need.

Build the robot armies high,
unleash the soldiers made of steel.
Though we fight on and we die,
our cyber-army fears nothing
as wave upon wave of the undead will crash
on their cold walls.
Build the robot armies high, sir,
or the human race will fall.

Oh, god help us all.
If this is what we have to do,
then spread the word to all.

Build the robot armies high,
unleash the soldiers made of steel.
Though we fight on and we die,
our cyber-army fears nothing
and all of the rest of the world will be saved
thanks to our great plan.
Build the robot armies high,
and save the world of man.

We are the human race.
We are the human race.
We are the human race,
what have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?

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.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
