Meditation
Pre-vacation, original by design
So dig in deep
Like the perfect creature
Guilty preacher
Is usin' the nine-to-five
To work on sleep

Pour the champagne, leave the party
Play the game 'til everybody's won
We're the ones to carry on
We are the satellite

Set the reaction (oh)
Ticket to ride (oh)
Reckless abandon (oh)
Time on your side (oh)
Into the future (oh)
The water is fine (oh)
We're goin' places
You're comin' with us

Divine intervention (oh)
Lower the bar (oh)
Be the exception (oh)
Pocket the time (oh)
Careful description (oh)
History made (oh)
We're goin' places
In it together

Conversation
Limitation
Security over time
The final stride
Trust the temporary
Visionary
Delivery overnight
Return denied

Write the words and read the pictures
Flightless birds are gettin' richer from
The desire to carry on
They are the satellites

Set the reaction (oh)
Ticket to ride (oh)
Reckless abandon (oh)
Time on your side (oh)
Into the future (oh)
The water is fine (oh)
We're goin' places
You're comin' with us

Divine intervention (oh)
Lower the bar (oh)
Be the exception (oh)
Pocket the time (oh)
Careful description (oh)
History made (oh)
We're goin' places
In it together

You, think
We, are
Together
You, want
Answers, right?

Set the reaction
Ticket to ride
Reckless abandon
Time on your side
Into the future
The water is fine

In it together

Set the reaction (oh)
Ticket to ride (oh)
Reckless abandon (oh)
Time on your side (oh)
Into the future (oh)
The water is fine (oh)
We're goin' places
You're comin' with us

Divine intervention (oh)
Lower the bar (oh)
Be the exception (oh)
Pocket the time (oh)
Careful description (oh)
History made (oh)
We're goin' places
In it together

    Pretty sure it's "Got this in your blood dear" And "wasting time in the best ways come on and join me" Annnnnd "Saturday was the never the same without your satellites a-glowing*" Could be wrong but that's what it sounds like to me. A few other things but otherwise looks good. Amazing song. Leighton is the best with words.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
