Have you heard the story?
Have you heard the news?
They say he's coming
You better choose
Visual horror
On the TV screen
Nothing but madness
Ever seen.

I am the beast, evil I will install.
I shall ignite the fire, burn you all!
Enter my blackened kingdom, you'll serve me well.
Turn it up, maximum Satan, straight to hell!

Politicians stealing
Disappearing kids.
Crimes and blackmail
For the winning bids.
Crimes of passion
And crimes of hate.
Buy the new drug
Before it's too late!

I am the beast, evil I will install.
I shall ignite the fire, burn you all!
Enter my blackened kingdom, you'll serve me well.
Turn it up, maximum Satan, straight to hell!

How can you believe this?
The world is like TV!
I'm the supplier
With only negativity!
I am not real
I'm just imagination!
I bleed on the mirror of
Human devastation!

One by one I'll take you down
One by one I'll take you down
One by one I'll take you down
One by one I'll take you down

Natural disaster
You better fear
The end is coming
The end is here

I am the beast, evil I will install.
I shall ignite the fire, burn you all!
Enter my blackened kingdom, you'll serve me well.
Turn it up, maximum Satan, going straight to hell!

    No, it's a lamentation of the mass media's descent into this fear-mongering infotainment shithole that it's currently in.

    [quote] Natural disaster.. You better fear. The end is coming.. THE END IS HERE. [/quote]

    The above quote sums it up best, it's what the TV says.

    it's not just about tv, genius. it doesn't directly badmouth tv anywhere in the song. it's about all the crap making the world bad. Delete your theory and paste it onto Plasma Zombies, then you'll be right. Wait...nope. Well, maybe if you replace "tv" with "violent video games" then you'll be right

    i think that this song is about how the world is getting fucked up to the point that satan is taking command because everyone is sinning and being evil...

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
