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.
Soaring, is this allowed?
I sure bet my daddy proud,
A little nigga with a shaker smile,
On top of the dreams is where I'm found.
Some figured I was Satan-bound,
Until I came back with the style I found,
Then all of the sudden they fixed they're faces
Cause of who I know, and the trail of places,
That I've stepped, how many niggas wanna hate cause I left?
How could you blame me and my plan of attack,
Cause I'm risking my soul attack, now I'm heard all over the map.
Only rule of thumb, it don't really matter just where you from,
All that really matter is where you're goin' go,
Baby I'm stayin' for somethin',
But you can't rule out this caps of gun
Second chances givin' out for some
All you gotta do is take advantage,
Then maybe you can get yourself a horse and carriage,
Done pimpin' you can think about marriage,
Until then get it in,
Find yourself and let's begin,
I'm a tell you how in a minute,
I'm a show you how I be livin'
From a long time ago, a young nigga, he was timid,
Now I'm in the zone, seein' things so vivid,
I'm a soul, nah homie, not even,
I'm a zone now till I lose feeling,
Remember I'm a be gone way past November,
Even stay up there, up there, floatin', floatin', hopin' I could find peace somewhere.
In my mind, it sounds like ooh,
When I'm gone it feels like ooh,
When I'm zoned, I'm feelin' alright, I'm feelin' alright, I'm feelin' alright
When I'm zoned, I'm feelin' alright, I'm feelin' alright I forget about it all.
Ballin', is this allowed?
Without feeling like Shallow Hal,
Diamonds on the Jesus peace for style,
Back into the city right around,
Greetin' my niggas with dap 'n' pounds,
So if I fall I won't hit the ground,
These are the things that a make me smile,
Knowin' this blunt might burn a while,
I keep myself so lifted,
I am accustomed to new heights,
I feel perfect though they think it's worthless,
See what I might flight, man
Everybody wanna be a critic I have my life and I will live it
Shut your mouth before I fuck it
How are my jokes? They will love it
If I'm seen on the scene with my slim cut jeans,
More than likely I am faded man
Doin' other shit get ready where you goin',
Niggas just stand around hatin'
So my vice ace is when
The lights start flashin' 'n' I'll be soaring all alone 'n',
In the place my mind is going fill with songs and no-ones knowin'
And the devil with the harpin' dress tryin' ask me for one dance,
He think he slick but my guardians protects me from his wrath,
So in my place no hate shall enter, livin' high up there up there
Copin', copin', floatin', I will find peace somewhere
In my mind, it sounds like ooh
When I'm gone, it feels it likes ooh
When I'm zoned, I'm feelin' alright, I'm feelin' alright, I'm feelin' alright
When I'm zoned, I'm feelin' alright, I'm feelin' alright I forget about it all.
In my mind, it sounds like ooh
When I'm gone, it sounds it likes ooh
When I'm zoned, I'm feelin' alright, I'm feelin' alright, I'm feelin' alright
When I'm zoned, I'm feelin' alright, I'm feelin' alright I forget about it all.

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.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
I agree, great song. I always play it when im gettin ready to go out. However, there are some mistakes in the lyrics. It's not..."timid, now I'm in the zone, seein' things so vivid,", its "now I'm ZONED, SEE things so vivid" It's not..."Ballin is disallowed, but i feel like shallow AL" it's "Shallow HAL",from the movie Shallow Hal It's not..."Damaz on the Jesus peace fo style:, its "DIAMONDS on the Jesus peace fo style" It's not..."Doin other shit no matter where you go, niggas just stand around hatin'", its "Doin other shit DEPENDING where you go," Those ones im sure of, I also think its "Ballin, is THIS ALLOWED?" not "disallowed". Also, I hear "devil in the HOT PINK dress" not "HOPPING" but i'm not sure about either of these last two.
Please re-listen and correct the lyrics. This song is gonna be a classic and I'd hate for people to get the wrong lyrics. Great job tho, I had to listen to this song a couple times when it came out to get all the lyrics.
