As the river flows from afar
No matter how much you try to drain it
Hunger makes the stars wander on
Your place is to grow what shall feed them

As the anger grows in your heart
No matter how much you try to deny it
Hunger makes his people go on
Our place is to grow what shall feed them

Rain is falling on the fields
They grow on me
Reach towards the sun
One day you will join the soil
But first we grow

My field
My seeds
I am
The Harvest

As the gods all watch as we grow
No matter what we will stand by our master
Our cradle and our graves under stones
Dug up by fathers resting beneath us

Rain is falling on the fields
They grow on me
Reach towards the sun
One day you will join the soil
But first we grow

My field
My seeds
I am
The Harvest

Would you like to sprout from the ground
No matter how long it takes, he's returning
Our destiny is written in dirt
Nurtured by mothers raised by the season

Rain is falling on the fields
They grow on me
Reach towards the sun
One day you will join the soil
But first we grow

My field
My seeds
I am
The Harvest

    My Interpretation

    The song is part of the concept album "Avatar Country." The album, as a whole, centers on the King of Avatar Country. The metaphor basically equates the band's music as a country, which means the King would represent the leader or representative of the band's music.

    The song is about how people of Avatar turn to the king for sustenance, such as food. So the metaphor speaks to the way the listeners of Avatar turn to the band's music as a form of sustenance; the music means that much for people

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.

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/

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.
