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.
Now I'm a family man that works hard for the money
With the sweetest wife ever I love you honey
I buy her everything, if it takes my last dollar
Even her nails and her hair to be done at the beauty parlor
We spend ample time together, doin' dinner and a movie
And whatever else sounds groovy
And when we want real excitement and drama, word to momma
We walk around in our pajamas in the Bahamas
I love her and I need her and I never ever cheat her
I'm far too carin' to be considered a woman beater
My style is gentle, romantic and friendly
Nothin' like the husband from 'Sleeping With the Enemy'
I thought that she was in love with me
I used to think that she couldn't get enough of me
But lately things been seemin' strange and...
Baby you changed
[Chorus: ]
Somebody's... been sleeping in my bed!
Somebody's... been sleeping in my bed!
Now I've heard of traffic but I've never heard of when
You get off at five and don't make it home 'til ten
Another thing that I can't comprehend:
Matchbox and pens from the Holiday Inn
And every night that I had to work late
I come home to see that the bathroom ain't straight
I look at the toilet bowl and wonder whassup
Because I know damn well that she don't piss with the seat up
And lookin' at the underwear in the room
Now I wear silk drawers; whose Fruit of the Looms?
Another thing that's quite bizarre -
My bathrobe smelled like Brut, but I use Dakar
Now I'm seein' that she's treatin' me crummy
Also, she must take me for some dummy
Because she'll lay in bed and say, "Come on in"
But them ain't the same bedsheets from this morning
Now yeah my dear have you been busted
But I still feel like P.E., 'Can't Truss It'
You need another lover like you need a hole in your head
And you might get that, you cheesy rat
'Cause thinkin' about the cost of a divorce
I feel like Johnny Taylor, it's cheaper to keep her
Cheatin' on me, what's the reason why?
I hope you die
[Chorus: ]
You done hurt me, broke my heart
and played me for your fool
Now here's my chance to get back at you
and I'm gonna blow my cool
All day long, I'm just singin' a
Somebody done somebody wrong song
I'm tryin' to see how far can this kid go
Before our relationship ends up on skid row
Why should I try to stay attached to her
When I'm probably better anywhere as a bachelor
So go 'head girl with that game you're talkin'
And since you look like CeCe Peniston, 'Keep On Walkin'
Your your your cheatin' heart, you're tryin' to rip mine apart
Uhh, I wish I'd seen it from the start
Cause now you're caught in what you thought was a fort
Took a short, so I'll see you in court
[Chorus: ]
(I hate my wife)
(I wear my wedding ring on the finger)
('Cause I married the wrong God damn woman)
(I leave homegirl?)
(And come back home, college feet be on)
With the sweetest wife ever I love you honey
I buy her everything, if it takes my last dollar
Even her nails and her hair to be done at the beauty parlor
We spend ample time together, doin' dinner and a movie
And whatever else sounds groovy
And when we want real excitement and drama, word to momma
We walk around in our pajamas in the Bahamas
I love her and I need her and I never ever cheat her
I'm far too carin' to be considered a woman beater
My style is gentle, romantic and friendly
Nothin' like the husband from 'Sleeping With the Enemy'

Somebody's... been sleeping in my bed!

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
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
