I've seen the sun and I've seen the rain
In an imperfect world where everything seems the same
It's just a vicious circle that keeps going 'round
Gotta find a way to get out of here
I'm too addicted to this drome I call home
I'm always leaving only to come back again
For more
No matter what the outcome is
It's just the way showbiz is
It eats you up spits you out
If your not here well then you got
Taken out so we

[Bridge]
Let it rip, the beat never skips
On the straight up tip "yeah"
On the strength we don't care 'bout yours
Trik Turner represents yours

[Chorus]
Blackened lungs and I'm to tired to run
I've got seventeen more nights until I see the sun
If I could turn back time
I'd do it all again cause this is the life
And I'm a "Trik" until the end now

Darken days paves the ways like city streets
A blaze knock knock can your kids come out & play
Keep your doors locked keep your eyes shut
Lay one on the trigger how you figure your bigger
Cause talk is cheep in the house of these slayers
3 by 3 you can't fuck with these players
Cause if ya down with me and if your round with me
And then ya pound with me and then you'll clown with me
And then ya smoke me but if ya joke with me
Then you'll die with me and then we'll transcend
All bad things come to an end that's why we
Sparkin' this ish Trik Turner is the lick now

It doesn't matter where you're from
Where you go, how you flex, how you flow
How you're on to the next, new improved styles
How you flip your shit and how you always keep it real
It doesn't amount to nothing
Just as long as you let it rip

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
