When I'm feeling down and out and life's become a real bad joke
I remember why you left to make a brand new start
The timing always was the worst and consideration my strong suit
After all this said and done now, who will be the wiser?

Never wanted you around but you where always there in spite
Never know which one of us, who was wrong and who was right?

Knowing this I guess I'm glad that you were not around
But it sure would be nice just to hold you one more night
This time I feel I have to call you just to find out how you are
But I know just what will happen cause the hate is still alive

Never wanted me around but I was always there in spite
Never know which one of us, who was wrong and who was right?

Yesterday I got your message, the phone was ringing off the hook
You come to say that you were sorry, 'could we make a brand new start?
When I heard your voice
I broke down and began to laugh
Live and learn, you always told me my life to live and yours to learn

Never wanted us around but we where always there in spite
Never know which one of us, who was wrong and who was right?

When you're feeling down and out and life's become a real bad joke
Just remember why you left to make a brand new start
The timing always was the worst and consideration your strong suit
After all this said and done now, who will be the wiser?

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
