A song about encouragement, more than anything. The idea is that there are always going to be things in your way, blocking your path, so when you're in a good enough place in life and able to swing your axe, go on and grab it and chop down those trees in your way.

A song written about a songwriter who finds that every single song they end up writing, it really just brings up a ton of negative emotions and life experiences. The idea is that these things become the song, and then those feelings go away, but they still come back every time he sits to write a song.

About a woman in an abusive relationship who dreams of leaving her situation but is scared for a lot of reasons. She doesn't know if she's ready to leave, but she definitely wants to.

This song is about someone who's in love with someone else who's already in a relationship. So despite all the times he's daydreamed about being with her, they're still only daydreams. The idea of dancing with his own shadow isn't just literal; it's also metaphorical in the sense that these feelings make him feel like a shadow of his former self.

This is a song about Homer Joy - a criminally underrated songwriter in the country-music genre, who wrote the hit song "Streets of Bakersfield," and a whole lot of other songs. Though it's also generally about a man who led a troubled life and tried hard to walk a straight and narrow path. Like so many of us, sometimes he stayed on it, sometimes he veered off.
