Be on your guard when you sit in the open places
Because I'm blessed with all the wonders of the sun
When tigers, palmtrees, rattlesnakes unfold their graces
That kind of magic you may get a sunburn from

And there's no better way for us
Than our old sweet ways
And angels burn to dust
Before the human race

We're giants under a rainbow
We're stranded east of eden
Sometimes we're crying in the afterglow
In a world of broken toys, how can we live without them

Freedom that is what you are always screaming
It is a scream but more a nightmare than a laugh
Those without faith are liars even when they're dreaming
I'd put my faith in god if he knew how to dance

But there's no devil in the darkness
No demon in the skies
Nothing to be afraid of
Cross my heart and hope to die

We're giants under a rainbow
We're stranded east of eden
Sometimes we're crying in the afterglow
In a world of broken toys, how can we live without them

Freedom!
Freedom!

We're giants... freedom!
We're stranded... freedom!
Sometimes we're crying... freedom!
How can we live without them...

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/

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.
