Born garbage day, warden of the shawarma plate, fork a naked eye, and trade survival tips with tardigrades, ephemera burning where the morning look like haunted marble cake, parkas and pajama pants, I'm part of what don't march-in-place, I'm partial to the closest roving pack of gnashing gums, smoking out the local protein, brokering the rabbit punch, I'm broken, fuck a focus group, fuck your folk, and Toto too, the produce of a pencil-neck who never met a social cue, eye of the archfiend, appetite for alpha dogs, step into the party with a killing jar and shadow box, like "Who invited acid wash?" I'm shopping for the mantelpiece, overkill is catalogued and crammed into banana leafs, polaroids around him like a visit from the vanta black, miniatures in Biggie shirts and minutes that he can't get back, it isn't just gorillas in a camera trap, it triggers, the history pack a little aftermath in every image, look

I should paint a eye on the front door, I should tell time by the sun more, I want a flaming arrow shot into a creeping raft, I'm kidding I just want the cheapest shit you people have

No displayed blazonry, unmistakably mutinous, the mood is disillusionment, shit, even Cindy Lou Who quit, I'm super stupid, future looking tuna fish and suture kit, in route to mute the TV and a view without a boot to lick, bruised at the nucleus and drooling through the bells of war, meet the neighbors when your resume is "skeleton-with-oar", "Ummm, that's really cool your -poodle made the paper", let's keep it at shoes in a elevator, he's a hat and coat, floating with no discernible visage, the villains turn to their homies who mostly turn into crickets, I'm part of a larger ghosting, I go to work with the wizards, who already voted homecoming theme as a burning village, the damn shame campaign pivot when you in the field, thinning blood and newly surfacing disorder, spin the wheel, feeders out to slow the roll, reaper on the protocol, people you confide in will be spotted eating rodents whole

I should hang a skull on the side door, I should drink water from the sky more, I want a thousand lanterns drifting on a summers wind, I'm only joking, y'all can feed me to the fucking pigs

Marshmallows over magma from the mantle has been cancelled, how snappy can you adequately scaffold? Happy canvassing the neighborhoods I'll never take advantage of as patron, as a patient they are plays to be a phantom of, naan under the bandages, examine 'til he vanishes, I don't feel a social pull to show the wolves where grandma lives, I find deliverance from evil either in a sedentary binge, or spring interning with the cemetery winds, no stacked sash or accolades from authority, the backstory gets all back-into-a-corner-y, abuses in the feeding tube, that circle back to eat at you, bacteria that tip the hat, adversity that gleam the cube, it's tit for tat with slippery aristocrats who pity cops, and brilliant rats who find the grit to slip out of the Skinner box, the moat's supposed to keep the rivals out, the calls are coming from inside the house

I should nail boards to the back door, I should feed squirrels from my hand more, I want to meet the maker in a proper suit and shoes, I'm lying, let 'em find the body with the loot removed

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
