Culture was the seed of proliferation
But it's gotten melded
Into an inharmonic whole
To an inharmonic whole
Consciousness has plagued us and
We cannot shake it
Though we think we're in control
Though we think we're in control
Questions that besiege us in life
Are testament of our helplessness

There's no vestige of a beginning
No prospect of an end
When we all disintegrate it
Will all happen again, yeah
Time is so rock solid in the minds
Of the hordes but they can't
Explain why it should slip away
Explain why it should slip away
History and future are the comforts of
Our curiosity but here we are
Rooted in the present day
Rooted in the present day
Questions that besiege us in life
Are testament of our helplessness
There's no vestige of a beginning
No prospect of an end
When we all disintegrate it
Will all happen again, yeah
If you came to conquer
You'll be king for a day
But you too will deteriorate
And quickly fade away
And believe these words you hear when
You think your path is clear
We have no control, We have no control
We have no control, we do not understand
You have no control, you are not in command
You have no control, We have no control
No control no control, You have no control

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
