What goes around comes around
You better realize
You kill life, you kill life
Why??? Why???
I see your eyes, I see your lies
I see you hide, inside...

What goes around comes around
Now it's your time
How long can you lie???
How long can you hide???

How long can you live with your soulbleed???
How long can you live with your soul...

Bleed Bleed Bleed Bleed Bleed Bleed

What goes around comes around
No more lies
You kill life, you kill life
Why??? Why???
I see a mother cry
I see a brother cry

Bring it on
Bring it

I'll make you bleed and you're bleeding now
Muthafucka

I got my pride and that's all I need
I'll make you bleed with another blow without the radio
Don't take advantage of this process
You might have to digest a blade made for your ass to fade
I'm living on instinct
Never think when I'm rushin bones crushin
When I put your sorry ass in a package
You piece of shit sealed and delivered from a savage
And now you sweat because you're goin down
You envious clown fuckin bleed

    no he is better in soulfly.........this song his about the people involed in the death of dana wells,chico science, Tio Morio, Tia Vera, Papino Graziano, and Karina Cavalera.

    "I dedicate this work of passion in memory of my loving Papino Graziano, Karina Cavalera, Dana Wells, Tio Mario, Tia Vera, and Chico Science. God bless you all - we'll see you all in a better place!!! Deus abenoe!!!" - Max C.

    "A esperanca e quando a dor presente nos faz tentar outra vez" ("Hope is when we feel the pain that makes us try again") - -Chico Science "Bleed" and "First Commandment" are dedicated to the people involved in the murder of Dana Wells and the cover-up of his death. You know who you are. Judgement is coming.------from the back cover of Soulfly's selftitled album

    Ya, but it's focused at the people who covered up his murder and trial, both directly and indirectly.

    I always fast forward past the Fred Durst verse when I listen to this song. If you're interested in doing the same, just press and hold fast forward from 2:52 to 3:23.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/
