I swear sometimes you're taking me for granted
I swear sometime you're a whore
I swear but I know there ain't no reason
'Cause everything is such a bore

At night I had a dream, though it made me sick
Saw you in your bedroom sucking someone else's dick, (my goodness!)
My friends all laughed, said it was my fault
Said it's time that it happened to me
But I know that the show was much more than a blow
So I'm waiting for the tide to get low
Waiting for the tide to get low

(I said, fuck that, motherfucker, you bitin' it. Shit!)

If I was an ant crawling upon the wall
Tell me, baby, would it make no difference at all?
If I was a roach on a tree
Tell me would you smoke me?

Bright lights put me in a trance
But it ain't house music, makes me want to dance (word)
I don't gamble, but I bet
I'm gonna die if I don't get a cigarette
Hold just because I always play the mack
Put the monkey on my back

    I think this song is about being paranoid. How he's paranoid that his girlfriend doesn't love him and she cheats on him. And the 'cigarette' line says that his paranoia is fuelled by lack of cigarettes.

    First line (Song Title) and Last line are very powerful... we all pick up an addiction to get rid of one(weed + Heroin)... Lines 1-3... heroin(addiction) can affect everyone... Line 4 cause life is so fucking boring(which we all understand)... Dreams are our conscious, our truth) whats worse than having another fool sucking your girls dick... we all experience it... Just when we realize addiction affects so many of us... We're not that fucking special... "friends all laughed" because of their experience... " happened to me" our experience... Line 11-14 is about our self denial. How we as humans need to be different... but we really are not... We make decisions from the choices given to us... be right back... do you agree with me...

    yeah I can't beleive that there are only 5 comments of this song.. it's greaaaaat... the live version on Stand By Your Van is the best, this is my favourite live performance... and this part 'if I was an ant crawlin' upon the wall tell me baby would it make no difference at all ' ... i have no words to say how much I like it.. especially in the SBYV version....... it can make me cry when I hear the way Bradley sings it there... damn I wish I was there....

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.

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.

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.
