The color of infinity
Inside an empty glass
I'm squinting my eye
I'm turning off and on and on and off the light
It's for this experimental film
Which nobody knows about and which
I'm still figuring out what's going to go in my experimental film

Yeah!
You're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it's

I already know the ending
It's the part that makes your face implode
I don't know what makes your face implode,
But that's the way the movie ends
And in my experimental film
Which nobody knows about but which
I'm still figuring out
Your face implodes at my experimental film

Yeah!
You're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it's
And even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it's

The color of infinity
Inside an empty glass
It's for this experimental film
Which nobody knows about and which I'm still figuring out
What's going to go in my experimental film

Yeah!
You're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it's

Yeah!
You're gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it's
And even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it's

    k figured it out.... the color of infinity inside an empty glass.

    Let's say your life is an experimental film. What color would everythign in the world look like?

    I'm squinting my eyes and turning off and on and on and off the light.

    he's trying to adjust his lighting to capture everything that happens in the universe... all the light in the universe would be somewhat bright, so he has to squint his eyes lol. TMBG likes to make jokes about how it's annoying to try to get through the lyrics when really it's so much fun, so they make the joke that they're "turning off" meaning turning people off, and going "on and on" lol

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.

Mountain Song
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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
