( Maxim Reality of Prodigy feat. skin )

My vision is distorted by my sleazy mind
To picturesque an image to control this time
My intimate discriminating fears you test
My ignorance that truely feels it knows regress
You have the power but you keep it all to yourself
Your lust is decomposing us
The intricate sincerity is choking me
Its crumbling and crawling all around my feet
It wasn't jump from lie to lie to cover me
But could a bullet tell her just evading me
You have the power but you keep it all to yourself
Your lust is decomposing us

So now your telling me its all damn easy
Try to see yourself as carmen queasy
'Cos money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
But I don't wanna be a marketed baby
Try to see yourself as carmen queasy
'Cos money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
Carmen Queasy. I don't wanna be

I'm flinging out some rhythms in a cultural stare
Suffocating, still frustrating like we care
Dissecting or analysing empty heart
To spit em out our wet dreams and calling it art
You have the vision but you keep it all to yourself
Your lust is decomposing us

So now your telling me it's all damn easy
Try to see yourself as carmen queasy
'Cos money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
But I don't wanna be a marketed baby
Try to see yourself as carmen queasy
'Cos money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing

Money making, money taking
We don't have a choice
But we still have a voice

Antagonise life is too short
Twisted form and distort
Impregnate brains into my seminar
When I'm making music, making failure
Gotta take back whats mine (gotta take back)
Keep chocking and holding, provoking
My life style you be smoking

So now your telling me its all damn easy
Try to see yourself as carmen queasy
'Cos money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
But I don't wanna be a marketed baby
Try to see yourself as carmen queasy
'Cos money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing

    it's kinda like saying there ain't no rest for the wicked, like you do what you gotta do even though your job may make you sick. i think of either a hooker or a hitman.

    My Interpretation

    The song works on many levels. Two of these are either as a critique on music industry (or art industry), sellouts in general, or as an indifference within one person when coming to a realization to have been a "prostitute" of this worlds things, a "hungry ghost" as buddhists say.

    To me - not being an artist, or really knowledgeable about the music/art business - the latter speaks more.

    Two sides of confronting within a person. ("My vision is distorted by my sleazy mind") Realization meeting fear. ("To picturesque an image to control this time My intimate discriminating fears you test") Indifference between possibilities and potential. ("You have the vision/power, but you keep it all to yourself") Lost in the world of matter. (lust, money, choking....) Do something! ("You do not have a choice, but you have a voice")

    On the baseline: the song is about the revolution of the mind :)

    i'm not quite sure what the song means exactly, but i know "carmen queasy" is a play on words (calm and queasy)...

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
