Sock it to me
Sock it

All the boys and girls
Playing in the snow
Well their eyes are lit
For santa's sure to know
They're hoping for a lot
Of the things he's got
Hoping for a lot
Of the things that he's got

Tell me what you see
(That's the sign of Christmas)
One more time
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Tell me tell me tell me
(That's the sign of Christmas)

Take it on down, down
Down, look here

Parking lots a jam
Shoppers are galore
Finding their new gifts
From their favorite store
All this love is shown
In the hearts of men
I repeat all this love is shown
In the hearts of men

Tell me tell me what you see
(That's the sign of Christmas)
I believe I see the same
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Whao tell me one more time
(That's the sign of Christmas)

Take it down, down
Sock it, sock it, look here

Molly wants a bike
Jimmy wants a kite that flies
Billy wants a sled, tell me what I said
Mother wants a bed
Daddy wants a boat, row it
Sister wants a coat
Now tell me one more time

Tell me what you see, repeat
(That's the sign of Christmas)
One more time
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Tell me tell me tell me tell me
(That's the sign of Christmas)

Take it on down
Wait
Look here

Part of being a man, look here
Very people pay
All their own regard
To their long dear friend
And their pretty pretty cars
Hoping for the best
Of the yule tide zest
Hoping for the best
Of that yule tide zest

Repeat tell me
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Can you re-repeat
(That's the sign of Christmas)
What do you see now
(That's the sign of Christmas)

Take it on, take it on
Take it on, take it on
Look here, one more time

Molly wants a bike
Jimmy wants a kite that flies
Billy wants a sled, do ya heat me
Mother wants a bed
Daddy wants a boat, now row it
Sister wants a coat, now show it
Tell me one more time
Look here, can you repeat

Now tell me
(That's the sign of Christmas)
Wait for me baby
(That's the sign of Christmas)

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
