You know patience, pushing a dream, brings my demons to life
Songs are vacations, our soul salvation
Will you suspend your disbelief?
I'd like to be the thief that steals
That jaded necklace that you're always wearing, yo

I'd take that thing and, with my knife, I'd start pairing so
Chop, chop, piece, piece, and send it to the Raiders of L.A.
There are so many, this land of plenty
The things we lack straight square within our grasp

[Chorus]
Ever you do, ever you think
Whether you're brown or you're pink
I think not, thinking's better 'bout it
When you stop to think
The jaded ones will wither
While the optimistic grow
I settle that a bet will let a large amount

So, indulge me just for a minute, imagine no one holdin' out
All trying for peace, my brothers down
Some others down, it happens slow, think you should know
The direction that the world goes, peace

They number six to make them feel like men
They one up us 'cause we're much too much for them
OK, the method to the mischiefs over there, then Psych, shazam, we strike with the lightnin'
Through space we move and emit an ill tracer

We're set to light your world, kid, we're your maker
Check it, our karma, plus the avant garde
Our style of out sect wise to ways comes to wreck

[Chorus]

While the ma**es mill around curse in anguish
311 stompin' 'em down with the quickness
We see all the crews that be comin' around now Takin' they notes to get our sweet a** style down

Fending off the foes that try to shut us down
Like the warrior souls we are, we never give in
So what we call is dope, we know will come around
Chill in Southern Cali., why'all

That's how we livin'
We spend our lives learning
If you like learning, life is large
It could never be only the ups

The downs will always come around, yeah, yeah Like a drive through Estes Park, you savor the sun
But when the clouds come, make animals

    "The number six to make them feel like men they one up us cuz we're much to much for them"

    A crew of 6 facing off against 311's 5? One-upping them? Eh? Sounds like a rumble

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
