Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I've broken every law
All the words come out my broken jaw
I don't know anything
But then I act like I know everything

Don't wanna talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
Well, I have been broke down from my enemies
I'm drifting farther from my memories
And then you take it away

Every day, I'm fighting 'cause I can't leave it
Then I feel the weight and then I come back down
I watch from the sides and try to reach out
Just a little bit closer and then I come back down

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

You tell me what's my name
I'm the same, I've just been rearranged
Smile through a choke inside
Yeah, I've been hiding with nothing to hide

Don't wanna talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
Well, I have been broke down from my enemies
Just holding a piece of what's been left of me
And then you take it away

Every day, I'm fighting 'cause I can't leave it
And then I feel the weight and then I come back down
I watch from the sides and try to reach out
Just a little bit closer and then I come back down
Yeah, you're pushing me, pushing me, I can feel it
Just a little bit higher and then I come back down
I'm climbing on people 'cause I've been blinded
And I'm waiting, I'm waiting around

Sometimes, you find yourself waiting
Waiting for someone to come around
And it's hopeless, hoping to be found
Then it arrives and says, "You're perfect, my love"
And I, I know why
I know why, I know why

But you said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know, you don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know, you don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know, you don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"

Just take it away, yeah
What you find and heal my broken jaw, yeah
I am here and I've slain my hero, yeah, yeah
What you need is higher than your shame

    The hardest part to hear is the chorus, but here's what I've got, (not perfect, but close and the best I could hear):

    First chorus: everything else i thought would just remain* but i still don't know anything i turn back down watch on my sides when i try to reach out just a little bit faster then i come back down

    Second chorus: everything else i thought would just remain (I know "everything else" and "remain" are correct) but i still don't know anything i turn back down watch on my sides when i try to reach out just a little bit faster then i come back down

    you're pushing me pushing me and i can feel it just a little bit harder then i turn back down climbing my people cause i know my name ** waiting and waiting around, yea

    I know "everything else" and "remain" are correct

    I'm pretty sure about the "climbing my people" part, not the rest of that line

    Again, my apologies for anything wrong, just had to put out what i know was right and hopefully someone can pick up the pieces...

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.

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
