to watch the leaves grow on the trees with you is out of question
i walk into this summer all alone the usual session
you feel your instinct then you act but was it your intention
to leave me down and broken now you've ended out ascension
yeah
i still can feel the beach sand in my shoes
remember when we talked along the ocean's song til blue from black
fade in
but that was then i learned to live without you far within
i ask you why you're back to try to let me lose again
you brought me here you wet my taste
you disappear without a trace
it wasnt me who made the call
cuz now i wanna be
where you sleep where you laugh where you breathe
and i hate to say still i sway brown your eyes gone away
should i feel some closure i deserve that at least
and would you be so kind to show reasons for your release
you woke me up form a distant past i left behind complete
the message that you sent that night now falls to bittersweet
was it me my honesty you fail to show i' never know
it wasn't me who made the call
was it me my honesty
you fail to show i never know
you brought me here you wet my taste you disappear without a trace
did youthink i'd lead you wrong
just know i'll save all of our moments that we are
someday you'll with you never...

    To me this song is my relationship with my ex g/f. I love her to death, i would do anything for her, but I know i need to get over her, and everytime i feel like i am over her, she calls, we hang out, and i feel everything i felt for her all over again and i wanna tell her that i wanna be, where you sleep, where you laugh, where you breathe. and i can't because as much as I hate not being able to really be with her the way I want, if i let her know how much i still care for her, i feel though i might not see her at all, it's like an addiction in a way, i need to feel her even though its killing me not being able to be with her. That's what this song means to me, Alyssa I Love you.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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.

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.
