Fall Kneel And beg Just try harder and you will find
The way to everlasting site Don't take this lite away
It never did you any harm Just when I thought I'd find my way
Pagentry are all the same Defiled and devine
Self respect should never have to bleed from my knees
Wait for something to happen
Wait to understand I slip I grasp I always miss in cycles
Fallen angels
Never fully gain control.
It gets difficult to remain positive in the face of, it seems,
Overwhelmingly negative odds about never affecting anything positively.
Doubt sets in, then depression is coupled with anger,
When even Maximum Rock N Roll has an interview with a band
That spends several paragraphs talking about how lame
Boy Sets Fire is and how they are never going to change anything.
But then we got a letter from someone who we have affected
Or inspired to make changes within themselves in the hope that they will change the world.
Change is natural and must happen.
How that change comes and whether that change is for good or evil, is up to us

    Was listening to a live recording at a concert where he explains that this song is about a point in his where he sorta gave up on trying anymore. He had listened too much on what other people said. And how there comes a point where you get jaded about how things happens, and we just let it happen and keep on being jaded. But the song shows how that is not where it has to end. And how this time in our lives there aren't alot of heros but you should find one in yourself and set things right.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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
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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
