This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You've been hiding out
For quite a while now
Living off of people you know
Trying to raise a little money
To pay off all the monkeys
That you met inside the
Rabbit hole
You take a payment from
The white witch that's spoken
To you with Mama kin?
Well, there's a wolf outside
A brick house screaming
"Is someone gonna blow it in?"
Because a mind is a weapon
You see and it's got you on
Your hands and knees
Pull the trigger if you got
A way out, unless you want
To count it off 1, 2 (1, 2, 3)
You better pray that there's
Another way out
You better pray that
Someones listening now
(Doesn't matter what you got)
'Cause when you lie like
The devil himself
No angels gonna hear your
Cry for help!
I know you must really think
It's funny, you had everybody
Pulling me in
Well, that's a little unassuming
Considering that you knew me,
I'm the only one that called
You a friend
Because a mind is a weapon
You see and it's got you on
Your hands and knees
Pull the trigger if you got
A way out, unless you want
To count it off 1, 2 (1, 2, 3)
You better pray that there's
Another way out
You better pray that
Someones listening now
(Doesn't matter what you got)
'Cause when you lie like
The devil himself
No angels gonna hear your
Cry for help!
Count it off, 1, 2 (1, 2, 3)
You better pray that there's
Another way out
You better pray that
Someones listening now
(Doesn't matter what you got)
'Cause when you lie like
The devil himself
No angels gonna hear your
Cry for help!
For help, for help, for help
For quite a while now
Living off of people you know
Trying to raise a little money
To pay off all the monkeys
That you met inside the
Rabbit hole
You take a payment from
The white witch that's spoken
To you with Mama kin?
Well, there's a wolf outside
A brick house screaming
"Is someone gonna blow it in?"
Because a mind is a weapon
You see and it's got you on
Your hands and knees
Pull the trigger if you got
A way out, unless you want
To count it off 1, 2 (1, 2, 3)
You better pray that there's
Another way out
You better pray that
Someones listening now
(Doesn't matter what you got)
'Cause when you lie like
The devil himself
No angels gonna hear your
Cry for help!
I know you must really think
It's funny, you had everybody
Pulling me in
Well, that's a little unassuming
Considering that you knew me,
I'm the only one that called
You a friend
Because a mind is a weapon
You see and it's got you on
Your hands and knees
Pull the trigger if you got
A way out, unless you want
To count it off 1, 2 (1, 2, 3)
You better pray that there's

No angels gonna hear your
Cry for help!
For help, for help, for help

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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

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.
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/
This song is about a drug addict, whom the narrator attempts to keep as a friend, but after all of the lying and cheating, it becomes very difficult. The narrator is fed up with the addict.
You've been hiding out for quite a while now Living off of people you know Trying to raise a little money to pay off all the monkeys That you met inside the rabbit hole
(The person has been living off of others to survive and get money to support the addiction. The 'monkeys' are dealers.)
You're taking candy from the white witch You're smoking tea with Mama Kin Well, there's a wolf outside a brick house screaming This time I'm gonna blow it in
(This references heroin (white witch) and marijuana (tea). The wolf is a dealer or the drugs, which are threatening to destroy the person's life.)
Because the mind is a weapon see And it's got you on your hands and knees Pull the trigger if you're gonna We all know that you wanna Count off 1, 2 (1, 2, 3)
(The addict's mind tells them to get more drugs, which makes the mind a weapon. The addict is 'down on his hands and knees' at this point. The addict basically has no will to live, so everyone knows that they want to pull the trigger on their life.)
[Chorus:] You better pray that there's another way out You better pray that someone's listening now (Doesn't matter what you got) 'Cause when you lie like the devil himself No angels gonna hear your Cry for help!
(The addict better pray that they can get out because he has stopped listening because he just can't deal with the addict anymore. When the addict lies, no one can help them.)
I know you must really think it's funny, You had everybody fooled in the end Well, it's a little unassuming considering you knew me, I'm the only one that called you a friend
(The addict thinks it's funny that they got people fooled into giving them money. He was the only friend the addict had, and now even he's gone.)
Because the mind is a weapon see And it's got you on your hands and knees Pull the trigger if you're gonna We all know that you wanna Count off 1, 2 (1, 2, 3)
[Chorus]
Count it off, 1, 2 (1, 2, 3)
[Chorus]
For help [Repeat: x3]
