Divine inspiration
Total disillusion
Instant consecration
Mind and body fusion
Frontal assault
On the seven senses
Orgasmic waste
Eccentric and pretentious

KMFDM
Doing it again
A treat for the freaks
Truth or dare
Are you ready for this?
We don't care

Diefied dada
Hard but true
Godlike nonsense
Being thrown at you

We keep simple
Tough and outright
Easy to swallow
KMFDM light

KMFDM
Doing it again
A treat for the freaks
Truth or dare
How low can you go?
We don't care

In a world of deceit, open your eyes
(What we do for you, so good for you)
Don't be afraid and you'll realize
(What you do for me, so good for me)
X 2

One way or another, now or later
Bow down and worship the true creator

(Musik ist Macht
Eine ausgesprochene Verbindung von schlau und dumm
Geräuschsüchtigen wird unter immensem Druck und Leidenschaft größte Freude und Vertrauen abgesaugt
Der Heldenriff ist der Froschfresser
Der Rhythmus ein schöner Schwan
Die Worte ein Blutegel an deinem Gehirn
Keiner Macht für dich mehr)

Take a good plunge and out from the masses
Bend over backwards and kick some asses

(What we do for you, so good for you
What you do for me, so good for me)
In a world of deceit, open your eyes
(What we do for you, so good for you)
Don't be afraid and you'll realize
(What you do for me, so good for me)

KMFDM
Doing it again
In a world of deceit, open your eyes
Don't be afraid and you'll realize

Call 1-800 accept no imitation
KMFDM--one world, one nation

    KMFDM stands for "Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid" ... the literal translation of that is "no majority for the pity" and is grammatically incorrect (and nonsensical) in German. However, it's usually loosely translated as "no pity for the majority" or "no mercy for the masses."

    I'm a bit out of practice with my German, so these are very rought. At times, the meaning of a word can change depending on whether it's capitalized or not. At the time of this posting, the lyrics here are not ideal for translation (there are several grammatical as well as capitalization errors), and can be found in proper German on the KMFDM website. Regardless, here's my rough translation of the German part of this song.

    Musik ist Macht Music is power

    Eine ausgesprochene Verbindung von schlau und dumm A strong connection between smart and dumb

    Geräuschsüchtigen wird unter immensem Druck und Leidenschaft größte Freude und Vertrauen abgesaugt Noise addicts will be drawn in under immense pressure and passion, the greatest joy and faith

    Der Helden Riff ist der Froschfresser The heroes' reef is the frog eater (like I said, I may be off with this, especially since I might not translate idioms correctly)

    Der Rhythmus ein schöner Schwan The rhythm of a beautiful swan

    Nur die Worte ein Blutegel an Deinem Gehirn Simply the words of a leech in your brain

    Keiner Macht für Dich mehr No more power for you (if the "M" in "Macht" were lowercase, this would translate to "no one does more for you" ... so it's kinda ambiguous, especially since on the KMFDM website, certain pronouns are capitalized in the lyrics when grammatically they shouldn't be, so yeah... that plus my sucky German = ???)

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
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.
