This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Fall down from the holes in the ceiling
Count the cracks in the wall as it's peeling
Peeling away
From you, from me
Your skin is becoming so distant
Distant like the books that I've read
Distant like the pages that I've torn from them
So I close my eyes so that I can't see it
'Cause I heard if you don't see it, then maybe you don't have to believe it
No, no
You don't have to believe it
And the first rule to making yourself better
Is making yourself feel younger
Putting yourself in your place
Realizing all your mistakes
So we went and drove around the town
Looking for a bystander
Or just a person to witness the execution
And make sure that they're all dead
Because my prophecy for everything
Is if you didn't really see it, then it never really happened
And that's the way I look at you and me
You mother, she'll be fine
Her sickness, it will heal in time
You can cross your name right off her will this time
Because she'd leave you nothing but old magazines
And a suitcase filled with things you can't pronounce
Things you never need
You'll wear his best shirt, his best necktie, or his best suit
The one he wore to that interview
And got himself that steady job
So we went and drove around the town
Looking for a bystander
Or just a person to witness the execution
And make sure that they're all dead
Because my prophecy for everything
Is if you didn't really see it, then it never really happened
And that's the way I look at you and me
Well, if you're feeling lost, then join the crowd
It's filled with idiots
And ones who have lost all faith in life
Ones who have lost all faith in love
We all go back to one
We all go back to nothing
Hey look, blue car will drive right into me
So we went and drove around the town
Looking for a bystander
Or just a person to witness the execution
And make sure that they're all dead
Because my prophecy for everything
Is if you didn't really see it, then it never really happened
And that's the way I look at you and me
Fall down from the holes in the ceiling
Count the cracks in the wall as it's peeling
Peeling away
From you, from me
From you, from me
Count the cracks in the wall as it's peeling
Peeling away
From you, from me
Your skin is becoming so distant
Distant like the books that I've read
Distant like the pages that I've torn from them
So I close my eyes so that I can't see it
'Cause I heard if you don't see it, then maybe you don't have to believe it
No, no
You don't have to believe it
And the first rule to making yourself better

From you, from me

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

"if you're feeling lost then join the crowd it's filled with idiots,"
Hahaha, I love that, she's so awesome.
edit:
"Because my prophecy for everything Is if you didn't really see it, then it never really happened And that's the way I look at you and me"
About a relationship that felt like she was only reading a book instead of actually being part of the story. It felt like things never lifted off the ground, that no one ever took the next step. It just withered away and now she's left wondering if it meant anything at all.<p><b><i>Edited by delial on April 20 2008, at 07:16PM</i></b></p>
