They killed my entire family
Murdered and tortured, raped and pillaged
I was only five and I
Was the only surviving witness
My entire village burnt to the ground
He wore a serpent in his crown
Happily committed murder with a frown
In an army of black
Hooded fiery-skulled generals
And a sorcerer that could cast
Spells that’ll change your genitals
Held me in slavery till I turned eighteen
Killed my slave master
Five years later became king
And I slain dragons and
Ate steaks during famine
Had the seeds of war planted
In a dirty tavern
Had the seeds of presidents killed
In a burst of anger
And had their parents bleed to death on
The floor of a dirty bathroom
I watched their palaces burn
I seen the ashes of my comrades
Returned to their family in an urn
While a proud child remembers
His father that died
The cycle continues with vengeance
Alive in his mind
Refuse, resist, war is my destiny!
Disorder unleashed, war is my destiny!
Chaos, AD, war is my destiny!
Under a pale grey sky, war is my destiny!

Yeah, yeah, i was an angel before a
Third of the stars fell
Cast with the sternum from Satan
Into the pit of hell
Our beloved leader forced to
Be a bottom feeder
The great deceiver that promised victory
Over the monkey lovers
We took a vote to restructure
And traitors fell upon him
We ripped his skin off and crowned
A new son in the morning
A new president to lead our corporation
The vengeance on God and Heaven’s domination
But I seduced the daughters of
Man and made the Nephilim
I demanded human sacrifice from
The rest of them i became the spirit that
Tortured and protected them
And I built them the tower
Of language that connected them
And then the Lord cried
Water falling out from his eyes
And my children died drowning in
The tears from the sky
And it was then that Satan crawled
Back to me with a plan
A design for the ultimate corruption of man
See back then we used to set
The chosen ones on fire
You really think God only
Sent a single messiah?
And so we allowed the birth
Of many prophets on Earth
And since the followers were human they
Were born with a curse
They began to claim superiority
To their brothers
And for eighty-five thousand years
Conquered each other
And when they prayed before battle
They were praying to me
Killing in God’s name 'cause
War is my destiny!
Refuse, resist, war is my destiny!
Desire unleashed, war is my destiny!
Chaos, AD, war is my destiny!
Under a pale grey sky, war is my destiny!

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 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 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."

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/
