White tie black jacket.
I ain't see you in a while.
Your whites shine, black velvet.
I ain't seen you in a while.
You're slick, a slick and polished mess.
I ain't seen you in a while.
Lets just face the fact
And get back to the basic form.
I ain't see you in a while.
Your whites shine, black velvet.
I ain't seen you in a while.
You're slick, a slick and polished mess.
I ain't seen you in a while.
Lets just face the fact
And get back to the basic form.

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Plastic Bag

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Our basic form is one of us being real with people and real with Jesus. So lets lose our trust in appearances, burn our white tie and black jacket and get back to our basic form....
Religion (white tie, black jacket, etc.) has gotten in the way of pure Christianity, and so this song says that we should dismiss the religious behavior, facing the fact that we don't need it to be Christians. It's a beautiful message to go with beautiful music.
Great lyrics to this song... A slick and polished mess. I love how the whole tone and direction of the song changes at the end. Gradually building up... Once again, Norma Jean is one of the best hard core bands around!!!
I like your interpretation
this song is porbally the most amazing thing i have ever heard, not to sound overly hardcore but i can sleep to this song its so amazing, i suggest trying to sleep to it
I guess it means that he is sick of all of the things thrown into christianity and just wants it to be like it was without corruption and man made laws.
this song doesn't necessarily have to be just about christianity. in my opinion it could just be about anyone that doesn't act like themself. people spend so much time wearing a mask to disguise their problems and troubles. i think this song is just telling people in general to go back to their old self, whether it was in God or not.
it could go to everyone who aren't themselves, but, since Josh Scogin, the person responsible for producing these lyrics, is a christian, that is probably what he was aiming at. christianity, and fellow christians are what he is familiar with.
honk ya horn in you believe in jesus.
How many people do you know where a white tie with a black jacket? This is a phenomenal song...as is most of Norma Jean's work, long or short it always has a poignant message. I used to just enjoy the melody at the end of the Bless The Martyr album, but when I properly listened to this I understood the message. Think Little Nicky..."Release the goooood!" Depending on what age I perish from the world, I want this song to be played at my funeral. It closed off my favourite album perfectly, it should close me off just as well, lol! What on Earth am I on about...?
