What ever happened?
How could we let this get away?
We were living the good life
But the good life’s not so…

Baby you’re so cruel
To be playing by these rules
Oh honey hidin’ all your money
You say you want forever but you treat me like a junkie, come on..

What ever happened?
How could we let this get away?
We were living the good life
But the good life’s not so…

You say it’s me that changed
That you’ve always been the same
With all this tension, I really hate to mention
The way you turn your nose up always reeks of condescension, come on…

What ever happened?
How could we let this get away?
We were living the good life
But the good life’s not so great

And you know that it’s true
We always made it through
Bad signs, bitter times
But now that we’re on a roll we’ve lost control

What ever happened?
How could we let this get away?
We were living the good life
But the good life’s not so great

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.

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.

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.
