    There are actually words in this song, I think he says "Come home", but that's it.

    Yay. My first song. For some reason, I always picture this song in CSI when they're sifting through all the evidence back at the crime lab.

    The guitar in the beginning sounds like the opening of "Lives." Almost exactly.

    Yea it does. I noticed that quite a while ago. Isaac sure does like recyclin material. Especially when they play live.

    This song is intense, there's all these different sounds then it just builds up to everything at once. I love it.

    brian deck, the guy who produced m&a, put this sound collage together from bits and pieces left over from the m&a sessions.

    so the intro probably IS lives, digitally brought down half a step.

    the first time i really listened to this song was in my friends car. i put it on, and when it started to play, it started to rain. and with me tripping on mushrooms, its was a very memorable experience. the music set the mood and tone for the world outside; thats what it seemed like. i dont know, i love modest mouse.

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
