This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
(Alone 2 demo alternate lyrics in parentheses)
My brain is working overtime
I need something to ease my mind
'Cause as my thoughts go manic
I reel and start to panic
And there's no place to hide behind
I freak and then hallucinate
I go at lights when I should wait
My parents think I'm lazy
But damn, I'm going crazy
I can't help my mental state
Oh, la la - he's trippin'
La di da - mental slippin'
Take these brains
Out of my way
I work into a frenzied clip
I bite the corners of my lip
I'm losing my appetite
My pants don't even fit right
Take away the month old dip
Give me something for my hair (My hair could start a bowl cut fad)
A fresher pair of underwear (The state of my attire is sad)
'Cause if I was run over
By a brand new Range Rover
Ah, just skip it, I don't care (Hey, I'd actually be glad)
Oh, la la - he's trippin'
La di da - mental slippin'
Take these brains
Out of my way
(Do you really want me down?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me down?
'Cause I'm waiting to see)
I tell the world to fuck itself
'Cause who decided what's sick or health?
And all the people I see
That's banking lots of Benji's
Make me want to puke myself
Start a brand new fashion trend
For those up on the deeper end
Sedatives and Nodoz
And edible pantyhose
On your plate, so dig right in
Oh, la la - he's trippin'
La di da - mental slippin'
Take these brains
Out of my way
Na na na na....na

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Woah, I never knew that Rivers said "I tell the world to fuck itself." That's the first time I've heard him say fuck in a song. Weird. Well, swear in a weezer song. There is one Fuzz song I know...whatever. Awesome song, nonetheless.
