There's no use to play it down
There's gonna be blood so let's do this once and be down
For the record I wanna get this down in writing
It's your hand on the wheel and not mine

So long, so long who's to say where the road will pave
So long, so long who's to say when the tide will change when nothing's for sure

She dreams of machines, an electric king that will miss her
And all at once the answer's comin' in
She says I don't want to be left out to wonder,
No I won't retreat to the backseat this time

So long, so long who's to say where the road will pave
So long, so long who's to say when the tide will change when nothing's for sure
I can see the motorcade.

The sirens weep and the flowers have been laid.
It could've been us with a white fence.
Said it could've been us and all the rest.
For the record I wanna get this down in writing,
It's your hand on the wheel and not mine.

So long, so long who's to say where the road will pave
So long, so long who's to say when the tide will change when nothing's for sure
I can see the motorcade.
The sirens weep and the flowers have been laid
So long, So long

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
