This one's called A Touch of Blessing, thank you

Climbing walls of an endless circle
Walking paths you never heard of
Struggling in an endless battle
Searching for a higher purpose

Drowning in betrayal's river
The freezing cold will make you shiver
Join the world of greater learning
And crown me king and be my servants
Are you fucking ready?

Misled by beauty
One you rarely find
So loving and friendly
It's one of a kind

Their arms wide open
Willing to take me in
No doubts in choosing
A world free from sin

All the dreams I had
All future wishes
Put aside for a greater journey
All the things I planned
Left my friends so coldly
Put aside for a higher

Misled by beauty
One you rarely find
So loving and friendly
It's one of a kind

One single army
You'll unite as one
A touch of blessing
Which cannot be undone

Drowning in betrayal's river
The freezing cold will make you shiver
Join the world of greater learning
And crown me king and be my servant

All the dreams I had
All future wishes
Put aside for a greater journey
All the things I planned
Left my friends so coldly
Put aside for a higher

All the dreams I had
All future wishes
Put aside for a greater journey
All the things I planned
Left my friends so coldly
Put aside for a higher

All the dreams I had
All my future wishes
Put aside for a greater journey
All the things I planned
Left my friends so coldly
Put aside for a higher purpose
Thank you so much

    The Inner Circle trata un de tema bastante problemático: como las religiones, mediantes las personas (o viceversa) y no Dios, te prometen paz, tranquilidad, seguridad, prosperidad y unidad posterior con el Creador. Sin embargo, estas mismas promesas te dejan aislado frente al mundo (familia, amigos y a ti mismo), botado en el camino, provocándote una confusión y caos en tu interior y con el resto del muno. Pierdes tu esencia cuando te entregas a un ideal irreal, que en este caso sería aceptar la bendición de Dios, disponer de su voluntad, que Él sea tu guía espiritual.

    Henrik Danhage señaló en unas de sus entrevistas que este disco trata de este viaje que en un principio es fenomenal debido a que experimentas la «supuesta» bendición de Dios, pero que esas mismas personas que te mostraron el camino son las que al final te decepcionan, te alejan de Dios, y en el peor de los casos, a negar la existencia de Dios o a no confiar en nada ni nadie. Otro punto que de referencia que Henrik Danhage apela, es como las iglesias —en especial la católica— han encubierto la verdad. Hoy existen muchos casos de pedofilia por parte de sacerdotes que durante años la iglesia y ellos callaron; por lo cual, creo que las visiones de Henrik Danhage respecto a la religión y a las iglesias -como lugar de reunión con Dios- no son las más alentadoras. Quizá, se pregunta cómo puede pasar esto en lugar en que se supone es sagrado al igual que sus fieles, concluyendo en que todo es una farsa, una maldita hipocresía por parte de nosotros los seres humanos. Si lo vemos desde el punto existencialista de Kierkegaard, estamos condenados a tener una convicción ciega que más que ciega es vidente, pero que escapa a nuestro razón humana, imperfecta, pero que se afana hasta el final de su existencia de no serlo, para que de esta forma justifique su fe con Dios, para tener algo en que creer y no sea tan dolorosa la espera de la muerte inevitable.

    El problema radica en que todo ser humano tiene derecho a buscar un camino, sea espiritual o religioso. Además que nadie te puede imponer sus ideas, las puedes analizar, y después determinar si la aceptas o no. Cuál es entonces la esencia de la convicción: buscar el camino, sin importar caerte; saber que decisión tomar, sin consecuencias nefastas. No obstante, lo que determina a los seres humanos —según este disco— somos nosotros. Y si se lo mira desde lo religioso, también, porque Dios te entrega el libre albedrío para que sepas que sendero seguir.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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."

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.

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/
