Say no way
We won't let them grow up that way
Things have changed
but some things have stayed the same
Hold on what you want to
but some things are passed down anyway
Hold on to what I want to
I don't think I know what I just

Leave me without a god without belief with out a cause
Without a path that I should take
Without a choice that a should make
Such an easy thought and now I had it but I lost it
I guess I need your help and now I
Guess I need your help and now I

Say no way
Don't let things go on this way
A clean slate
but it don't work that way
Hold on to what you want to
but some things are passed down anyway
Hold on to what I want to
I will have to own what I have

Leave me without a god without belief with out a cause
Without a path that I should take
Without a choice that a should make
Such an easy thought and now I had it but I lost it
I guess I need your help and now I
Guess I need your help and now I

It's not my stuff it's just too much
It's just my stuff it's just my

Leave me without a god without belief with out a cause
Without a path that I should take
Without a choice that a should make
Such an easy thought and now I had it but I lost it
I guess I need your help and now I
Guess I need your help and now I

    LOVE this song seems to be about how raising kids today in the world were so much discrimination hate and traditions are passed down

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.

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,

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
