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.
Verse 1:
Welcome to the Dark Side, your own personal hell
Where I wanna kill emcees and everybody else as well
The only guidance that I ever got was from under my bed
Up in the middle of the night from the mouth of a wicked clown's head
And that explains it all, like grade 5
When I utilized a Lotus cross and had my bullies crucified
Ya messing with sporadic and psychopathic anomalies
A manic assassin under the Carnival's monopoly
Welcome to the house before the cemetery
Tenants are me, V, Ghostface; villainous, very
Ready with the verbal of weaponry for the rats
Hip to picking and spitting at those that rep' the axe
I never knew that my future could be like this
When I was just a child I didn't believe in bliss
Then six years ago I discovered a new click
Now I'm running with a hatchet, a hatchet and the hardest dick
Verse 2:
Welcome to the mentality of a child of the damned
Mentality of a renegade without a Father's master plan
Spitting; the belly of the beast up in the southeast
Hungry like the fallen at a Day Of The Dead feast
Welcome to the reality of insanity; clarity it holds
For this down-forever 23 year old
Down with the Clown and Twiztid Serial Killaz
Down with the power the Carnival brings its illest
Down with a smile and middle fingers on high
See me rapping in acid rain due to fire in the sky
And I don't give a fuck what these arrogant fools say
I'm a rebel with a cause and the force to bring on Judgement Day
That ain't a dis', it's a stone-cold fact
'Cos I'm bigger than that and I'm bigger than just rap
I'm phat with a "ph"; psychopathic's my science
The underground is my lab and the Juggalos are my clients
And it goes like this
Like this, ah!
Verse 3:
3, 2, 1, here I come, beat banging to make ya numb
As I roll through ya hood looking to redrum
Dummies in crash tests, a smashed breast, a fuck less
I could give while miles are set alight; it's a process
Rolling with the freaks residing outta society
Ya know me, if it ain't for notoriety
It is for nothing and I ain't bleeding for that
So I'm popping balloon heads like Muphin; see me wind it back
The axe bloodletting to let Bendigo know
It's been going down in this town since DSP's first show
Fuck the haters; I put it to both sides
Like crossfaders then throw it up and down like carnival rides
Don't sleep; the clowns are here to creep
And eat ya bitch's cotton candy if ya so much as blink at a freak
It's central Victoria's glorious morbid slaughterer
Don't look at DSP like that; this was ya mother fucking order!

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
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.
Blue

“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.
