The album begins with the laid back Time and Time. If it were not for the industrial noises that appear, this might pass for a pop track. The simple lyric from Graham, coupled with Conway's ghostly vocal textures create an effective 'voice', something of a contrast to the previous Dome release. Back to Back is less melodic but more energetic, highlighting Price's ethnic drumming style which appears in several other tracks.

P'o Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And life is goin' on.
Time is tickin', and I'm sleepin'
I feel it comin' on, I feel it comin' on
We keep it comin' on, so keep livin' on, livin' on
Waiting on today, tell me it's ok
So I won't run away
So I won't run away
I'm missin', days are back then
And life was goin' on, alive and kickin'
Waitin' for meanin', and now were movin' on,
And now were movin' on, we keep it movin' on,
So keep livin' on, livin' on
Waiting on today, tell me it's ok
So I won't run away
Waiting on today, tell me that you'll stay
So I won't run away
Waiting on today, tell me it's ok
So I won't run away
Waiting on today, tell me that you'll stay
So I won't run away
I feel it comin' on
And we run
And now we're movin' on
And we run
I feel it comin' on
And we run
And now we're movin' on
And we run
I feel it comin' on
I gotta join it now!
And now we're movin' on
I gotta go right now!
I feel it comin' on
I gotta live it now!
So keep livin' on, livin' on
Waiting on today, tell me it's ok
So I won't run away
Waiting on today, tell me that you'll stay
So I won't run away
Waiting on today, tell me it's ok
So I won't run away
Waiting on today, tell me that you'll stay
So I won't run away
