This lyric is about the war / atrocity that's happening in Ukraine. Let's call it for what it is it's homicide, it's genocide, it's criminal point blank. What else can I really say about this lyric. It's really self-explanatory, and just goes to show you what one country that thinks it's all powerful and above all the rules, can do to another country that's trying to live peacefully. Yeah there's always more to the story, and sometimes it gets complicated in that region, but let's face it it could have been handled in a much different way.

Women and children 
uprooted from their country
Forced to a new home 
scared, tired, and hungry

Firing missles
From drones and jets
It won't stop
Until there's nothing left

There will be no homes
For them to return 
Thanks to the bombs
that made them burn
This war
Is homicide
This war
Is Genocide

So much propaganda
Spun into lies
Causing so many
To have blind eyes
(Uprooted)
No time to say goodbye
(Uprooted)
So many have died

Firing missles
From drones and jets
It won't stop
Until there's nothing left

There will be no homes
For them to return
Thanks to the bombs
that made them burn
This war
Is homicide
This war 
Is Genocide
This war 
Is homicide
This war
Is Genocide

The enemy 
Didn't count on a fight
Now this war
Has no end in sight

Their country may be in ruins
But they still have their pride
They'll keep on fighting
They won't be denied

There will be no homes
For them to return
Thanks to the bombs
that made them burn
This war 
Is homicide

This war
Is Genocide
This war
Is homicide
This war
Is Genocide

Out of the blue

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a relationship that has been going bad for quite some time. There's been no affection at all no intimacy either spoken or physical. But we talked about this, and things seem to be getting better. Been out of the blue, comes this bullshit about her wanting to leave. Being a perceptive person, I can see through all the lies and know that there's somebody else. I call her on this, and it makes me angry. Basically I say go ahead and leave it's not going to kill me or crush me.

You don't love me no more

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a girlfriend I was with and she was very bad at communicating her feelings, unlike me. I'm a very perceptive person, and we had been going out for years. I knew when she was keeping something from me and wouldn't tell me. She also had a very hard time showing affection and expressing love. I found this all very frustrating, and it got to the point where I knew she didn't love me anymore. This is an old lyric that I wrote some time ago when I was probably in my 30s about her. I just took it and rewrote it a little bit, but I always kept the title you don't love me no more. I hope you enjoy it.

No direction

By Howard Aronson

In the mid 80s until the mid-90s I was really into grunge music. Bands like tad, Green River, mudhoney, Pearl jam, Mother Love Bone, and Nirvana just to name some of them. So yesterday I wrote this lyric thinking back to when I was a teenager, and knew some of these guys in school that were like my lyric. I was a jock / athlete if you don't know what jock means. I definitely like the smoke pot before school, during school and after school but I wasn't an outcast, didn't wear black, and didn't see the world in such a dark way. Lyric is about that type of teenager, who's angry, full of frustration, is rebellious, and just wants a way out of the town he's living in the Life he's living in but doesn't know how. That's definitely a dangerous thing for this type of teenager.

Heaven

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about music, and the voices that sing it. Music is always been a huge part of my life as long as I can remember. As a little boy I used to sit and listen to Neil diamond, Elton John, Roberta flack, and as I got older, heavier rock and roll. I have a lot of different genres of music that I listen to and get inspired by. But there are some voices that just melt me, bring tears to my eyes. There are lyrics that do the same thing, and it inspires me to write. I only wish I could write like that. But without music and without words I don't know what I would do, so I'm so grateful that it has a big part in my life.

Memento Mori

By Stanley Chris

Steve Jobs said, "Your time is limited; don't waste it living someone else's life," and that is the heart and message of this song. We often get caught up in the motions of life and forget that our days on earth are numbered; even if one had a thousand years, they'd still come to an end. Many people tiptoe through life, hoping to make it safely to death, as one philosopher put it. We have people trapped in jobs they don't like, living lives they hate, and they feel like there is no way out of their misery; they have become so enslaved by society that they have forgotten about the dreams they once nurtured in their hearts when they had the liberty of mind to fantasize and explore the world of their imagination. The song is a reminder that each of us has a purpose to fulfill during our short stay on this side of eternity. It speaks of the fleeting nature of time, and challenges us in the Bridge to cut loose from the crowd, dare out into the unknown and chase the visions we hear calling out to us beyond.

Adieu

By Sherab Lhamo

A song in which love is compared to fighting a losing battle. War here is the relationship while the battles are the feelings. It’s when you do everything you can and realize there’s nothing left to give. So you accept defeat and bid farewell

Turn The Tide

By Steven Soucy

Turn the Tide is about war, fighting for your people and homes. The moment the aggressor learns they cannot defeat you. In honor of Ukraine and their people.

Dear Storm

By Karianne Gabaldon

A lyric about facing your toughest storm and begging for mercy; you cannot fight this fight anymore, so you’re giving up—throwing in the towel. You just want this heavy storm to pass.
