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.
Ich hab dich leider schon so oft gesehen
Wer dich nicht kennt, der glaubt ja,
ach wie schön
Da ist doch endlich jemand,
der so denkt wie ich
und der mir in allem
ganz und gar beipflichtet
So glaubt man schnell,
du wärst ein Freund, seist mit dabei
Wir trinken, lachen, singen noch
auf uns Zwei
Doch was heimlich hinter
deiner Fassade bricht
weiß keiner, denn was du denkst,
das sagst du nicht
Heuchler – du bist ein
Heuchler – du bist ein
Heuchler – du lachst uns allen ins Gesicht
Heuchler – denn echte Freundschaft kennst du nicht
Du schließt dich stets der Meinung
anderer an
Du zeigst Betroffenheit, tust so,
als gehe es dich an
Du gehst in jedem Freundeskreis
mal ein mal aus
Wie ein Vampir saugst du
unser Vertrauen aus
Tief im Innern freut es dich
Du lachst uns allen ins Gesicht
Echte Freunde kennst du nicht
denn irgendwann zeigt sich
dein wahres Ich
Heuchler – du bist ein
Heuchler
Heuchler – du bist ein
Heuchler – Heuchler
Heuchler – du bist ein
Heuchler – deine Sprüche sind so falsch und dreist
Heuchler – du gottverdammter
Heuchler – deine Freundschaft ist
Scheinheiligkeit
Scheinheiligkeit
Heuchler
Scheinheiligkeit
Tief im Innern wurmt es dich
denn eigentlich bist du ein kleiner Wicht
Du hast kein Herz und kein Verstand
Nichts an dir ist aus erster Hand
Du bist so hässlich und so dumm
Du denkst, es nimmt schon
keiner krumm
wenn du ein bisschen trickst und lügst
und dich dabei nur selbst betrügst
Heuchler – du gottverdamter
Heuchler
Heuchler – du bist ein
Heuchler – Heuchler
Heuchler – du bist und bleibst ein verdammter
Heuchler – du lachst uns allen ins Gesicht
Heuchler – du gottverdammter
Heuchler – ich hoffe, dass du daran erstickst!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Regrettebly, I have seen you often. Those who don't know you think they do, oh how nice. There is certainly someone at last that fully agrees with me. So someone believed you were a friend, it is done. We drink and laugh and sing just us two. But what's secretly breaking behind your facade is unknown because what you think is never said!
Pretender, you are a Pretender, you are a Pretender, you laugh at us all in our face Pretender, because you know no true friends
You always imply your opinion to another You act shocked, you do, as it is done to you. You go from every friendship to another Like a vampire you suck out our trust.
Deep inside, it pleases you. You laugh at all of us in the face. You know no true friends. For sometimes it shows your true self. Pretender, you are a Pretender Pretender, you are a Pretender, Pretender! Pretender, you are a Pretender, your accusations are so false and brash Pretender, you goddamned Pretender, your friendship is Hipocrasy
Hipocrasy Pretender Hipocrasy
Deep inside it warms you For you are finnally a little sprite (could also mean wight, goblin, dwarf, etc) You have no heart and no brain Nothing on you is original You are so hideous and so stupid You think nothing's coming full-circle If you drink a little and lie and by doing so you only deceive yourself
Pretender, you goddamned Pretender Pretender, you are a Pretender, you are and remain a goddamned Pretender, you laugh as us all in the face Pretender, I hope you choke from it!
Notes: Heuchler is an odd German word, that can mean pretender, faker, shammer, charlatan, hypocrite, user. There is no real english translation for the word.
