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.
Ooh
Two, three, four
Helpless, my eyes are bleeding from the fear that's inside
You sealed your demise when you took what was mine
Don't try and stop me from avenging this world
No voice to be heard
Waking the Demon
Where'd you run to?
Walking in shadows
Watch the blood flow
There's not much longer so don't try and fight
Your body's weakening, walk to the light
All those painful times, so alone, so ashamed
Well I'm not coming back, there's nothing to gain
Caution, there's just no limits to the boundaries you push
I've warned you but still you just fuck with my mind
There's no escape from this rage that I feel
Nothing is real
Waking the Demon
Where'd you run to?
Walking in shadows
Watch the blood flow
There's not much longer, so don't try and fight
Your body's weakening, walk to the light
All those painful times, so alone, so ashamed
I'm not coming back, there's nothing to gain
Breathe for me
Don't wake me from this slumber
Stay with me
Possession taking over
Breathe for me
Don't wake me from this slumber
Stay with me
Possession taking over
Whoa
Tread
Breathe for me
Don't wake me from this slumber
Stay with me
Possession taking over
Breathe for me
Don't wake me from this slumber
Stay with me
Possession taking over
Waking the Demon
Two, three, four
Helpless, my eyes are bleeding from the fear that's inside
You sealed your demise when you took what was mine
Don't try and stop me from avenging this world
No voice to be heard
Waking the Demon
Where'd you run to?
Walking in shadows
Watch the blood flow
There's not much longer so don't try and fight
Your body's weakening, walk to the light
All those painful times, so alone, so ashamed
Well I'm not coming back, there's nothing to gain
Caution, there's just no limits to the boundaries you push
I've warned you but still you just fuck with my mind
There's no escape from this rage that I feel
Nothing is real
Waking the Demon
Where'd you run to?
Walking in shadows
Watch the blood flow
There's not much longer, so don't try and fight
Your body's weakening, walk to the light
All those painful times, so alone, so ashamed
I'm not coming back, there's nothing to gain
Breathe for me
Don't wake me from this slumber
Stay with me
Possession taking over
Breathe for me
Don't wake me from this slumber
Stay with me
Possession taking over
Whoa
Tread
Breathe for me
Don't wake me from this slumber
Stay with me
Possession taking over
Breathe for me
Don't wake me from this slumber
Stay with me
Possession taking over

Little Feat
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”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
this song is one of the best on the CD. the music video is kick ass and i watched it over and over again. he is being picked on and counts down till the full moon and then finds the guy that is picking on him and turns into a demon and scares him. the guy eventually goes missing and the bully's friend is now taking over the other bully's job and starts bullying the boy and then the boy counts down till the next full moon. WAKING THE DEMON> enough said
ur half correct, he doesn't scare him, he eats him! after that, it shows the blood dripping from his mouth. then he'll go through another month of being bullied and then he'll kill another one of the gang members. he'll keep doing it till they're all dead.
