I looked through your frame
and watched death go by.
I move towards her gaze
to catch it by surprise.

It's something new to try
somewhere in the tides.
When we catch our stride,
then you can decide.

Throw me your halo
down the halls of doom.
I'll lead the way
through the combs of time.
Show me your heaven
down the halls of doom.
I'll lead the way
down the combs of time.

Find our way. (Repeated)

Now you know the way
Now you know the way
Now you know you're tied. I expect you to decide.
Now you know you're tied. You can never turn away.
Now you know you're tied. You can never turn around. You can never turn away.
Now you know you're tied. I expect you to decide that you'll never turn away.

It's like heaven in true time, like heaven.

Now you know you're tied.
You will never turn away.
It's your
it's your
time.

Scanning the horizon,
trying to find our bed.
Gliding on the ice,
covered to our heads.
Stranded under ice,
trying to hold our breath.
Scanning the horizon,
covered to our heads.

I watch the dead go by.
I watch the dead get far.
I watch the dead go by.
I watch the dead get far, get far.

Racing against the throes of time.
Try to pretend you know your prize.
Covered in smiles, the lights shine thick ahead.
Hovering in the throes of time.
Hard to resist,
we know it's our time.
Rest your eyes.
Just rest your eyes.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.

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.

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/

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.
