I cannot cope with all this hope gushing like blood
I cannot get my stomach to understand
We can't bring these taken lives back

Explicit truth is blunt
It is uncensored. It is aware
My sadness evolves into hate
I want to know why no one told me

Cowards are hiding using systems that are failing

Tell me what I can do to stop this
Injections of miscarried justice
Make us aware

And who are we anyway to empower ourselves
To however take all others live down
The problem is it's one thing to control, another thing to expel
We falsely convict by misleading the witness,
even proven deaths of many innocent
In the name of what God should we ever be allowed?

Cowards are hiding using systems that are failing
Answers are getting buried as powers keep abusing
(Resolution seems so possible. Integrate a compassion into control)

Tell me what I can do to stop this
Injections of miscarried justice
The method's flawed and I feel hopeless
Hurting to raise my state of conscience

It's been concealed for ten years and ten before for centuries
Concealed from forthsights and knowledge bases of our communities
(So what are we gonna do now? So what are we gonna do now?)
So what are we gonna do now to change this?

Make us aware, aware, aware
Make us aware, aware, aware
I want to heal the haunt
I want to know how to stop
I want to make a difference
Don't want to feel useless
Decipher out the true crime
Everyone mis-steps sometimes
Remember there is always
Another side to what we know

No more anguish
No more torture
No more suffer
Call for restructure
No more anguish (No more anguish)
No more torture (No more torture)
No more suffer (No more suffer)
Call for restructure (Call for)

The method's flawed but I am not useless, no
I'm singing to raise higher awareness (Make us aware)
Tell me what I can do to stop this (Make us aware)
Injections of miscarried justice
The method's flawed and I feel hopeless
(Concentrate the efforts made)
Hurting to raise my state of conscience
(Admit the fault and help reshape)
Tell me what I can do to stop this

    This song is amazing. 8)

    this is what Jordan Brown said: It's about a documentary I watched called At The Death House Door, put out last year by IFC. It's about the priest who looked over all the death-row inmates and executions in Texas, from 80's throughthe late 90's, I believe. The film affected me so much, because it was him telling these stories and sharing these journals he had, and seeing the lives of the families who were affected by this, coming to find out there's evidence of proof that their brother or son was actually [wrongfully] taken. -AP (magazine)

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
