Disciple

Slayer

Drones since the dawn of time
Compelled to live your sheltered lives
Not once has anyone ever seen
Such a rise of pure hypocrisy
I'll instigate I'll free your mind
I'll show you what I've known all this time

God hates us all, God hates us all
You know it's true God hates this place
You know it's true he hates this race

Homicide-suicide
Hate heals, you should try it sometime
Strive for peace with acts of war
The beauty of death we all adore
I have no faith distracting me
I know why your prayers will never be answered

God hates us all, God hates us all
God hates us all, God hates us all
Yeah, he fuckin' hates me

Pessimist, terrorist targeting the next mark
Global chaos feeding on hysteria
Cut throat, slit your wrist, shoot you in the back fair game
Drug abuse, self abuse searching for the next high
Sounds a lot like hell is spreading all the time
I'm waiting for the day the whole world fucking dies

I never said I wanted to be God's disciple
I'll never be the one to blindly follow

Man made virus infecting the world
Self-destruct human time bomb
What if there is no God would you think the fuckin' same
Wasting your life in a leap of blind faith
Wake the fuck up can't ignore what I say
I got my own philosophy

I hate everyone equally
You can't tear that out of me
No segregation separation
Just me in my world of enemies

I never said I wanted to be God's disciple
I'll never be the one to blindly follow
I'll never be the one to bear the cross-disciple

I reject this fuckin' race
I despise this fuckin' place

I reject this fuckin' race
I despise this fuckin' place

I reject this fuckin' race
I despise this fuckin' place

I reject this fuckin' race
I despise this fuckin' place

    overall i think its pretty much just tellin ppl that they need to think for themselves. they dont need to get caught up in all the bullshit of religion. he hints at believing more in what u c and what is around and not believing in faith and other shit u cant touch or see. "I never said I wanted to be God's disciple. I'll never be the one to blindly follow." he is just tryin to get ppl 2 think about what they are actually following and supporting.

    This song has a deeper meaning than most people could possibley imagine. "You know it's true God hates this race." "I'll show you what I've known all this time." "Wake the fuck up can't ignore what I say." There's is an extremely dark secret that your own mind is hiding from you. Society dosn't want you to know it. I know what it is, and so do many other people like me. But we know attempting to reveal this secret means purecution by society. You might think your some badass rebel that does whatever he wants but you are completely blind the truth. This reality has been pulled over your eyes to hide the real world. Because if you knew what I knew, you would know that god really does hate us all.

    i think they are trying to highlight the shi* that people are, and that God hates 'em for it. this can be seen in verses 2 and 3. saying "GOD HATES US ALL" may, be a bit harsh, and people may not understand its meaning. hes also trying to say that he sees the truth. he highlights why "God hates" us.

    I kinda agree with everyone's thought about the lyrics. I really like them. And musically this song is a fucking awesome one. People really are kind of programmed to that shit called christianity. And there's one thing that fucking makes me mad. Most of yound people today are not religious and don't really believe in "God". Tell me if I'm really wrong, but I think it's kind of a tradition to be a member of christian church. I really get angry when I ask people if they believe in God or are members of the church and they say "No i don't believe in that shit, but I'm a member": Are people really so afraid of their parents/relatives/etc that they don't dare to part the church, or what the fuck is the deal?! I mean, when I ask "why are you member of church" they say "i don't really know.." I really wonder why people can't get rid of that fucking old-ass tradition to be part of the church..I really don't care if my grandma is mad to me about my thoughts and doesn't send me money for birthday etc. Maybe it would be a time for people to realize that religion is one of the plagues that is fucking this world up nowadays...

    Isn't ironinc that this song has the same basic message as christianity. just change hate to love....and a few other choice words and you got yourself a hymnal.

    It seemed really odd to me how this album was released on sept. 11, the same day that the terrorist attacks happened. On a day where a lot people lost their lives, slayer releases their album with the title god hates us all. maybe that was a sign that god really does hate us all and would really like to see us all die.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
