You're the only one
I've ever told
That I will rape this day
Got to walk and talk
A swarm to tell
And I will hate this day
Sporting the name brands
Clothes make the man
And I will rape this day
Kids won't have their break
They didn't cup the cool-aid

I've got a fighting chance
You know you promised me the last dance
I mic her not in time
This fat 24 inch someone
Nothing but moans and blood
From my blood gives my love
You cannot eat just one
Die from annihilation
So soon it cuts off the sheets
Until you stand behind your hammer of hair

I'm gonna rape this day
Rape this day

This is the real mouth
So wait up and fly south
And I will rape this day
I'll blow it all around
I'll eat it until my eyes turn brown

And I will pinch and tear
And pull and catch you right there
I plan on jerking straight
Until I'm pretty bruised and cat scratched
I'll rail, rake on your neck
But who will cry or complain
Compared to the brain
Are you following me?

I'm gonna rape this day

    Pretty cryptic song... i'm not sure about the meaning, to me it seems like a "man on the edge" kind of story, you know, everythings is wrong, you feel bad about your life all day... so you're going to "rape" it, you're going to snap and do something very bad.

    I would definately not call this pop-punk

    It's definitely "Pumping kool-aid", cause it's about a heart. It might be worth noting that Rape is based on the Latin to Seize. Carpe Diem - Seize The Day/Rape The Day.

    I think Marquez got it right. It's quite negative - digging at how Clothes do make the man, that the world/society is crap and that he needs to tear it down and destroy it.

    I really wish he would.

    There's no chance that this album is a prequel to what takes place in self-titled... right?

    This song is quite catchy, which is odd considering the brutal lyrics. This was my first exposure to Tomahawk. I was expecting something really heavy, not pop-punk-metal. My preffered type of music is pop punk, so I like this song and will definetley be checking out more music by Tomahawk.

    You're the only one I ever told That I will rape this day

    Got a barking dog And a smile to tell And I will hate this day

    Sporting the name brands Clothes make the man And I will rape this day

    Guess a heart won't break That ain't pumpin' Kool-aid

    I got a fighting chance You know you promised me the last dance A micro naught in time This fat 24 is all mine Nothing but moans and blood And so my blood counts my loss You cannot eat just one A diaphragm revelation

    Just want to get some disease And get your stampin' heart the hell outta here

    I'm gonna rape this day I'm gonna rape this day I'm gonna rape this day Rape this day

    This is the real mouth Sew it up and fly south And I will rape this day

    I'll blow with you on the ground Or leave it 'til the leaves turn brown

    And I will pinch and tear And pull and kick you right there I'll proud and jerk and stretch Into a pretty bruise, a cat scratch Put a rake on your neck But who would cry or complain? Compared to the pain of your sorry white vein...

    I'm gonna rape this day I'm gonna rape this day I'm gonna rape this day I'm gonna rape this day

    so i played this album in a dvd player, which apparently ive never done before, because some songs play a lil' differently. in this song, the part where the lyrics start-the guitar part is missing-so you hear silence-then patton, then drums. ...also on mayday

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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Dreamwalker
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
