In the back of his mind he could have been
A prize fighter like Muhammad Ali
Or maybe Prince Nazeem
But in school he was prayed upon
From the very start
For being way too petite and a little light on his feet
But once he heard that Arnie was bullied at school
But just a few years later he became the Terminator
He turned his mind to steak and weights
Its time to get those bullies back
Its time to get those bullies right back

Looking for a skinny kid to break some bones

Looking in the mirror and his t-shirts feeling tight
Hes praying to the God of war because he wants to fight tonight
In the background you can hear the CD spinning in the player
This is fight music for the fight
This is fight music for the fight

Now its 10 years on
The weights have taken their toll
Because he's dosed up on the steroids
And his plan has been deployed
He's turned from victim into the oppressor
Yes he feels the satisfaction when he hears those backbones cracking

Every time he throws a fist he feels he's getting them back
For everytime those nobs flushed his head down the bogs
So everynight you'll catch him on the door at the club
At his head his eyeballs are popping
Yes you'll see those heads are knocking
He's looking for a skinny kid to break some bones

Looking in the mirror and his t-shirts feeling tight
Hes praying to the God of war because he wants to fight tonight
In the background you can hear the CD spinning in the player
This is fight music for the fight
This is fight music for the fight

Na na na na naa
Na na na na naa
Na na na na naa
Na na na na naa

Looking in the mirror and his t-shirts feeling tight
Hes praying to the God of war because he wants to fight tonight
In the background you can hear the CD spinning in the player
This is fight music for the fight
This is fight music for the fight

    It's about a kid who gets bullied and beaten on at school so he sets out to get back at the bullies, but eventually becomes the very thing he hated.

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.

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
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.
