The Son of God, hangman's pawn control our lives
With fairytales and shallow lies

You say we'll burn in hell
Spiteful preacher, I know you well

Desperation breathes and follows you home
Just look around, you're not alone
One life and one chance
The world in front of me

Intelligent design
Sending shivers down my spine
Cells mutate and divide
What a sadistic intention
No light, no dark, no ups, no downs
I'll find peace, buried in the ground
The lights go out, the fuse has blown
No heaven or hell to bring me home

You say we'll burn in hell
Spiteful preacher, I know you well

Desperation breathes and follows you home
Just look around, you're not alone
One life and one chance
The world in front of me

Another division to tear us apart
Try to fill that hole inside your heart
Another division to tear us apart
Try to fill that hole inside your heart

Son of God, son in the sky
If you could speak, I'm sure you'd say
"There's more to me than meets the eye"
There's more to me, there's more to me
Son of God, son in the sky
If you could speak, I'm sure you'd say
"There's more to me than meets the eye"
There's more to me, there's more to me

Let me say my decency comes from inside
Just human heart, a decent mind
We all slip up from time to time
Let me say my decency comes from inside
Just human heart, a decent mind
We all slip up from time to time

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.

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,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
