(Sounds of Hospital Activity)

Violent J:
I like to suffocate people and bite their necks
They got me in a place that ain't like the rest
And all you gotta do, is try to go for the neck
And it's sedatives, sedatives, like this...

Slowed down, colors smear all around
Wierd sounds, you're livin' in the head of a clown
And the wicked ones somehow spinnin' around
Wheel me down the hallway, arms strapped down
It's sedatives...

Shaggy:
Hangin' all out the neck from the IV
Sedatives for the lively
Study me, ask me, no answer.
I'm cuttin' your neck fisrt chance-ah.

Violent J:
White walls, white floors, small rooms...
After sedatives, they become ballrooms
Crows fly by my window slow
Headin' that way but lookin' at me, though

(Crows Cawing)
Both:
Sedatives (Sedatives)
Sedadate me (Sedatives)
Sedadate me (Sedatives)
Sedatives (Sedatives)

Shaggy:
I'm an accident, human malfunction, at best
And I'm lookin' at the scalpal stickin' into your chest
If I could only move, but them sedatives..
You know they savin' your life, them sedatives..
Some of these other patients are strong as hell
Suffocatin' one creep took me long as hell
Then I took his sedatives.. Well, I thought they were sedatives
But they were only medatives

Violent J:
I fake pain, call 'em over and play dead
And yank a fistful of hair out the nurse lady's head
Hi, I'm sedatives again. They put me in a tiny place
Chinstrap muzzle over my face
I threw a guy off the roof first day they admitted me
And I was sedidated and that's when it hit me
The only time I'm at peace is when I ain't even there
God, tell me why the fuck am I here?!

(Screaming and crows cawing)

A lobotomy, or shock therapy
Come clean me nurse, take care of me
I suffocated the last two they sent in alone
They had to stick me in the chest with a shot of methadone
Recreation time, wheel me to the courtyard
Four guards in white, and they might be important
And the sky is blue and I can watch trees grow
Watch the leaves blow and join the sedatives show

Shaggy:
Well I even have my very own room these days
White straight jacket, padded walls and PJs
But there's so many ways and every stunt I pull
I even slammed my own mouth right on the toilet bowl
For attention, maybe, not to mention a sedative
Heard one guy say "Why even let it live?"
There's probably no sedatives in hell
And that's the only reason I'm alive still

Violent:
The witch is everywhere and I can see that, y'all
I stabbed one nurse in the neck with a straw
A plastic straw. Yeah, it's flimsy and weak
But if you cork it with your thumb and hold it right...
(FWEEEK!)

(Song ends)

(Tapping on glass)
Girl: I'm out here...

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
