I'm the super control freak
And I make it look so sweet
But I lost control of myself
I lost control of myself

Never remain to defeat
Always tryin' to compete
But I just defeated myself
Just defeated myself

Oh, oh how the mighty have fallen
Oh what an end to the story
I never thought I'd seeing myself so lonely

It's better better
It's better better
It's better better that you didn't know the truth
I'm getting better
I'm getting better
I'm getting better and I wish I could show the proof
I'm better better
It's better better
It's better better that you didn't know the truth
I'm getting better
I'm getting better
I'm living bigger

It all appear to be so rosey
To everyone who knows me
But I lost control of my health
I lost control of my health

And though you have disowned me
You were the only one who showed me
I've fallen off of that shelf
And I just repeated myself

Oh, oh how the mighty have fallen
Oh what an end to the story
I never thought I seen myself so lonely

It's better better
It's better better
It's better better that you didn't know the truth
I'm getting better
I'm getting better
I'm getting better and I wish I could show the proof
I'm better better
It's better better
It's better better that you didn't know the truth
I'm getting better
I'm getting better
I'm living bigger

I gave up one day
Such a stop one day
I would stop one day I was fallen
I wake up one day give a fuck one day
I'm in love 'cause I hear you calling
Nothing I can say to make you understand
I guess I just have to call it the evolution of man
The evolution of man
The evolution of man

It's better better
It's better better
It's better better that you didn't know the truth
I'm getting better
I'm getting better
I'm living bigger

I gave up one day
Such a stop one day
I would stop one day I was fallen
I wake up one day give a fuck one day
I'm in love 'cause I hear you calling
Nothing I can say to make you understand
I guess I just have to call it the evolution of man
The evolution of man

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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.
