Sawing off the pavement repenting their past lives might i be the only payment left to be left behind clay and pigment footsteps rust it boiling clean our bull let in linguistics that only we can breathe

i gotta prayer that’ll make you theirs now beneath sepulchers raise your entrails as an offer

fondling with pitchforks in a cattle prodded sea signaling the sedatives to emaciate their queen bowing in constriction anytime you leave we snuffed ourselves an angel and cut her by the wings

i gotta prayer that’ll make you theirs now beneath sepulchers raise your entrails as an offer

in my sight i was born to bring death at the footsteps of your home tonight i have sewn all the hair and crooked nails that you all have worn while your wife sits at home i plant the vermin because she needs it so

how long must we fold by hand the nuns are burning wheels again dent of mattress to make it bare come clean with the anecdote after all we came undone pale of sluts with host at fault one day we won’t pay your debt our centipedes will get theirs yet

poachers in your home poachers in your home

how long must we fold by hand the nuns are burning wheels again dent of mattress to make it bare come clean with the anecdote after all we came undone pale of sluts with host at fault one day we won’t pay your debt our centipedes will get theirs yet

fold the river by the lips as a cruel and smothered wind fits the gash with ornaments dawn is nodding off again raised the braille to read it clear gathered by the cholera rinse the burns in cauldrons help the palm we see a lens my hands secrete a monument my hands secrete a monument

i am the reason four your missing child they might be home but there’s no trace under your pillow i have left a spine oh the things we do when you’re away i saw the message that you wrote in the sand dismembered hints that carve away the anesthetic of your gospel said put a muzzle on the lamb

give me one page give me one page make it blank mace that i leak will rain give me one page give me one page make it blank race i inflict your way

maybe one day you’ll stop and realize the throne that you serve is dead

give me a plague give me a plague make it blank nothing you own is safe

    It doesn't seem all that satanic to me. Rather it seems as is about the contamination of the river Ganges. Allow me to reiterate:

    The River Ganges (or the ganga river in the hindu language) flows from the Hymalayan mountains between India, Nepal and Bangledsh and out into the Indian ocean. For Centuries this river has been a life source for food, and water for the countless villages surrounding the the Ganges and its tributaries.. However scince the industrial revolution, noumerous factories (mostly leather-making plants which pruduce large amounts of Chromium and other chemicals) and sheer waste estimated at nearly 1 billion litres per day have  polluted this river so bad the it has become unsanitary.  Not only that but also, inadequate cremation procedures contributes to a large number of partially burnt or unburnt corpses floating down the Ganga, not to mention livestock corpses nearby ['In a cattle prodded theme

    Signaling the sedative"], a holy site where Sita was supposed to have lived for a period during the Vanaprastha, and site of much of the Indian savagery during the Civil War of 1857. Despie all of this thousand upon thousands of hindus gather at the ganges to worship, give the river offerings of flowers or food, throwing handfulls of grain or garlands of marigolds and such["While your white sense of hope']. many drink the water to help het pure (see the irony yet), many even bathe in this water. The 'poachers in your house' are these factories and plant whom have appeared and desacrated what these people consider sacred. "I saw the message That you wrote in the sand" is refering to the remenants of corpses and dead fish beeched out on the bank of the river.

    NOTE: This is my interpitation of the song. It may not necerally be what this song is about. So I am open to CONSTRUCTIVE critisism.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
