This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Just another day.
Seems like everybody's, got a problem.
No one knows how
but, we all wanna solve 'em.
And you can give a dime, give a hand, give a shit.
Or you could look away and never deal with it.
For example, this girl's pretty fly for a while gal.
And all the guys want her though she's a juvenile.
She's really kinda sad, and just don't care,
cuz the only one she wants is her best friend Claire.
What's going on, what's going on?
Ready or not? (not)
The world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on. . .
yo what's going on?
(CHORUS)
There's nothing much to me.
I'm simple like you, ordinary.
My tired eyes can see,
that time may fly and what's left is meant to be.
And I'm lookin' out, and you're lookin' in.
It's takin' more than time to erase the stain.
And it's never been the same.
Any city.
A girl turns 17.
She goes to a party.
She and her girls are
drinkin' Bicardi ever since they walked through the door.
All the guys have been flexin', trying to score.
But she's a good girl, so she won't have none of that.
She takes another sip,
but she has no clue,
of the spike from the G to the H to the B.
She wakes up in the morning bruised, raped on the street.
What's going on, what's going on? Ready or not? (not)
The world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on
. . . yo what's going on?
(CHORUS)
In a small town
Every kid that you know goes to school.
He's really kinda shy and he's not that cool.
He knows what it's like to look in from the outside,
inside, wants someone to confide.
Everyone's busy, no one's got the time.
He takes his dad's gun
and says this is how I'll shine.
BOOM BOOM BOOM,
and the kids fall down on the ground . . .
dumbfound.
What's going on, what's going on?
Ready or not? (not)
The world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on. . .
yo what's going on?
(CHORUS)

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this is another well writen song by zebrahead and if im not wrong i do belvie GBH is a animal tranculizer used as date rape, it sucks that all this stuff is true with the date rap one if that ever happend to a girl i knew and cared about i think i would become the boy with the gun... but all together an amazing song and so very truth full about how our world is so fucked up
i'm surprised nobody has commented on this one yet. i like to turn this one up really loud in my car and sing along. the lyrics aren't exactly uplifting, but i enjoy it. excellent song.
....wonderful song.... not uplifting at all....but honest, and honesty should be faced more often
Well the lyrics dont make you want to get in a boxing contest but surely the beat and so on makes you say hey this is gonna be a good day
Really great song... But what's the "but she has no clue, of the spike from the G to the H to the B" stuff?

Really great song... But what's the "but she has no clue, of the spike from the G to the H to the B" stuff?
GHB = Gamma-HydroxyButyrate = The Date Rape Drug!!! A small amount of GHB mixed with alcohol can put you into a temporary coma, or kill you. In the song, the guys at the party spiked the girl's drink with GHB, which knocked her out, and then they raped her. So there's what the whole "But she has no clue, of the spike from the G to the H to the B" line means. Peace.
Does anybody know what all those stats are at the end of the song? The stuff about 1 in so many women is a victem of a violent act, and stuff about kids bringing guns 2 school?
800,000 (3%) 6th through 12th grade students carried a gun to school last year.
Appariently this is true, more of these stats can be found here: cj.msu.edu/~outreach/safe_schools/stats.html
Thanks op51
