Somehow, I think I'm going home
Even though my friends can't reach me
I don't know how I ended up alone
All I know is you can't save me
They only asked us to believe
They only wanted us to follow
I think I'm old enough to see
I think I'm going home tomorrow
I believe in…
Sinners and hypocrites
Burning in the desert for a rich man
Liars and lunatics
Lead us to the slaughter for our last stand
Killers and idiots
Dying in the desert for a rich man
Sinners and hypocrites
Gather us together for the master plan
I didn't bother with my faith
How will my family recognize it?
Somehow, I think I'm going home
But I still can't comprehend it
I know I don't want to die
But I know dying will not end it
I believe in…
Sinners and hypocrites
Burning in the desert for a rich man
Liars and lunatics
Lead us to the slaughter for our last stand
Killers and idiots
Dying in the desert for a rich man
Sinners and hypocrites
Gather us together for the bastards
I know the truth is all a lie - my skin is cracking on my lips
I don't pretend that I can understand why we are doing this
My heart has bled a thousand times - how will I live with what we've done?
The only comfort is the knowledge that I'm not the only one
Why am I here?
What did I do?
Why?

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
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.
In this song its talking about the war in iraq.
When hes saying: "I believe in… Sinners and hypocrites Burning in the desert for a rich man Liars and lunatics Lead us to the slaughter for our last stand Killers and idiots Dying in the desert for a rich man Sinners and hypocrites Gather us together for the master plan"
Hes talking about the soilders in iraq going into war for "a rich man" or George Bush. Hes talking about all of the lies that have been told to the nation and how the American Leaders are "Sinners and hypocrites, Liars and lunatics, and Killers and idiots".
When he says: " Somehow, I think I’m going home Even though my friends can’t reach me I don’t know how I ended up alone All I know is you can’t save me They only asked us to believe They only wanted us to follow I think I’m old enough to see I think I’m going home tomorrow"
Hes talking about "going home" or going to heaven and that no one can save him from the war hes in.
When he says: "I know the truth is all a lie - my skin is cracking on my lips I don’t pretend that I can understand why we are doing this My heart has bled a thousand times - how will I live with what we’ve done? The only comfort is the knowledge that I’m not the only one"
Hes talking about how all of the Ameriacan leaders are lieing about why they are actually going to war. Hes talking about all of the innocent people in iraq that have sacrificed because of the war created by the Rich Man (George Bush).
