This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Since his childhood he's a spot of bother
Raped and abused by his drunk stepfather
The looks of a lamb, but the mind of a shark
He'd rip your sorry ass to shreds for a lark
Unable to play by society's rules
A morbid obsession with sharp cutting tools
Of course, it was merely a matter of time
To let his hair down and commit his first crime
Roaming through the gutter
Looking for some blood to sputter
Dissect their innards
No guts, no glory
And watch them take their last breath
When steel meets flesh
End of the story
He is the bringer of pain and death
Stab them in the chests, mutilate their breasts
Pound their heads with stones and crack their skulls and bones
Skin the folks alive, no one will survive
Dig into their belly and turning guts to jelly
Bodies beat to mush, there's no need to rush
Several hours later they all face their creator
Killing spree try to flee
Ooh, what a lovely night my comely maid
It's just you and me, the stars above us and a blade
Certainly, there's enough time to speak your last prayer
After all, I'm not a barbarian, I'm just a slayer
The first cut is the deepest, it says in a song
Well, I can assure you that Cat Stevens was wrong
Rambling through the ghetto
A man, a plan and his stiletto
Dissect their innards
No guts, no glory
And watch them take their last breath
When steel meets flesh
End of the story
He is the bringer of pain and death
Dissect their bowels
No guts, no glory
And watch them take their last breath
When he meets you
That's the end of the story
He is the bringer of pain, affliction and death
Raped and abused by his drunk stepfather
The looks of a lamb, but the mind of a shark
He'd rip your sorry ass to shreds for a lark
Unable to play by society's rules
A morbid obsession with sharp cutting tools
Of course, it was merely a matter of time
To let his hair down and commit his first crime
Roaming through the gutter
Looking for some blood to sputter
Dissect their innards
No guts, no glory
And watch them take their last breath
When steel meets flesh
End of the story
He is the bringer of pain and death
Stab them in the chests, mutilate their breasts
Pound their heads with stones and crack their skulls and bones
Skin the folks alive, no one will survive
Dig into their belly and turning guts to jelly
Bodies beat to mush, there's no need to rush
Several hours later they all face their creator
Killing spree try to flee
Ooh, what a lovely night my comely maid
It's just you and me, the stars above us and a blade
Certainly, there's enough time to speak your last prayer
After all, I'm not a barbarian, I'm just a slayer
The first cut is the deepest, it says in a song
Well, I can assure you that Cat Stevens was wrong
Rambling through the ghetto
A man, a plan and his stiletto
Dissect their innards
No guts, no glory
And watch them take their last breath
When steel meets flesh
End of the story
He is the bringer of pain and death
Dissect their bowels
No guts, no glory
And watch them take their last breath
When he meets you
That's the end of the story
He is the bringer of pain, affliction and death

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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
