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”
I man a mad stylee, underground
We come cool and deadly with hat natural sound
It make you feel so free, you no turn it down
Vibes 619, from the Southtown
And Jah kno, what I and I gonna do
Because Jah know, I man stay true
You know Jah know, the real who is who
Ain't no time to fake it, make it feel brand new
It goes 1, 2, 3, the crew is called P.O.D.
And if you want to go to the tiptop
Break it down with that one drop
[Chorus: x2]
Execute the sounds
Positive come around
Impact the sounds
Positive all around
You want to mess with me, try to take this crown
Babylon test me, we go smash them down
Original O.G., this is my playground
No take me seriously, you gonna feel it now
I man know the harder they come
Because I man a gonna get the job done
You know I man know they don't want none
Me never have to cheat, 'cause me already won
1904, home to the real hardcore
And you don't want to sleep, don't talk
I'll break you down with that one drop
[Chorus: x2]
We come cool and deadly with hat natural sound
It make you feel so free, you no turn it down
Vibes 619, from the Southtown
And Jah kno, what I and I gonna do
Because Jah know, I man stay true
You know Jah know, the real who is who
Ain't no time to fake it, make it feel brand new
It goes 1, 2, 3, the crew is called P.O.D.
And if you want to go to the tiptop
Break it down with that one drop
[Chorus: x2]
Execute the sounds
Positive come around
Impact the sounds
Positive all around
You want to mess with me, try to take this crown
Babylon test me, we go smash them down
Original O.G., this is my playground
No take me seriously, you gonna feel it now
I man know the harder they come
Because I man a gonna get the job done
You know I man know they don't want none
Me never have to cheat, 'cause me already won
1904, home to the real hardcore
And you don't want to sleep, don't talk
I'll break you down with that one drop
[Chorus: x2]

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
haha..luv this song hey....some of the last verse sounds like it is from God's view..."babylon test we, me go smash them down", etc....... yer.....
well the song is great but it doesnt really make any sense!! i have a feeling that it may be about depression the chorus execute the sounds..get rid of the people/problems which i know can feel like screaming sounds in your head..positive come around let the positive feelings come back and leave the negative..so i'm guessing that the verses have something to do with that to..getting over depression-i dunno thats just how it comes across to me!
execute means more then just kill it also means to carry out
I think that this song is about letting the word of God out. "Execute the sounds Positive come around Impact the sounds Positive all around" .. i would say that thats saying that when you let the word of God out the impact is positive and we just need to let out the word of God. And the last part of the song i think its talking about how P.O.D isnt scared to go out and speak the truth ..no matter who critizises them they have a job to do and thats to execute the sounds of God.
Funky (and tribal sounding vocals (lol)) song by P.O.D is not their best, but delivers a steady, good message to everyone 'bout thinkin positive and other stuff like it. **1/2
i think it says "I'm On a Mad Stylee"
whatever it says, song is so funky and laid-back I just love it!
All I know is that when he says "619 from the Southtown" hes talking about the six-one-nine area code which is located in the southern communities of San Diego. Happens to be my area code.
Fairly obvious reference to KRS One/Boogie Down Productions - Stop The Violence
"One two three, the crew is called BDP and if you want to go to the tip top stop the violence in hip-hop, Y-O"
I’m pretty sure that one of the references was about the 1904 Welsh revival which spread through parts of Europe, and into North America.
