""Tonight the world is ours. We've got the world in the palm of our hands. Bustas fall down when we're barking commands Atlas ain't got shit on our steez. Kick out the chair and get on your knees. We're not strangers but we'll never be friends. Pray to your god when you're meeting your end. Hope is dead revelations begin. We're not strangers but we'll never be friends. Lift your head look around can't you see? We were born into a world so bleak. We claim this night still standing tall. Casting shadows you indulge concrete. A call to arms we'll bring the revolution. A call to arms pillage eden annihilate man. Going to take every word And shove it down your fucking throat. Break down the walls rebuild society. We've got the world in the palm of our hands. Bustas fall down when we're barking commands. Hope is dead revelations begin. We're not strangers but we'll never be friends. Arise the sun is near. Witness an uprising see our strength. Arise.""

    "We're not strangers, but we'll never be friends."

    I try to portray that message to pretty much anyone who thinks they are my friend.

    "Arise, the sun is NEEEAAAAAAAARRRRRRR" Yeah, my heart skips a beat whenever I hear that particular line. I go fangirl over this band. I'm almost ashamed to admit that. alamo!

    This Song Amps Up Anyone=]

    And I Think The Meaning Is In One Night They Plan On Creating An "Uprising" And Taking Control Back From The Gov't.

    This Band Is One Of The Best=]]

    holy shit, the first couple lines of lyrics are so fucking bad.

    they sound like a bunch of angsty middle-school wiggers. seriously, the vocalist in this band is awful.

    -correction "Buses fall down while we're barking demands" Command is dictatorial takeover. Demand is revolution.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.
Album art
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Album art
American Town
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.
