nine hundred ninety seven revolutions
Gone round the sun
The spirits leave as they come
Rude people-the meek-the young ones

Wait without fear so near to the year of the new millennium
These wide open eyes
They look to the sky
Then they listen for the mission

Envision
One head on collision with the power that be
The end of your religion and the beginning of my unity
Stay tuned to me, all this is new to me

It got me trippin' like some LSD
We come deep like the sea coming high like the sky
Waiting for you and yours to die
Here they come, here they come, here they come

Little fresh, young little girl
I swear she feel like a woman to me
All your boys remain boys so mamma run to me
She came to me so I had to turn the trick out

Slappin' that ass
Bitin them baby backs
Down to the bone, we in a zone yo
Been on the road so long don't know when to go home yo

Cross the state line to Cali. deep in Orange County
If ya don. t know shit about me don. t doubt me
Here they come, here they come, here they come
And when we come we come we come hard yeah

And when we come we come come correct
And when we come we come we come hard yeah
And when we come we must come correct
And when we come we come hard yeah

And when we come we come come correct
And when we come we come hard
And when we come we must come motherfukin' correct
My one greatest nemesis enemy is me

Versus me in a battle to the death
Hear my tale rattle feel the heat
Of my breath on the back of my own neck
My heart pound in my chest

No rest no trust no hope
This nigga can. t cope this dope got me schizo
The son should. ve listened to his mother
From the get go now he get no got no love

Stuck up on your back like a beetlebug nigga
Here they come, here they come, here they come

    does anyone know how the number 33 relates to this song? 'cause I really can't see anything... maybe 33 represents Jah's age when he wrote this song? that's what I always figured.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
