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.
Who is she that kneels - so respectfully before me
A virgin of snow white - purity
Do not fear - my fortunate one
Let us consummate our igneous union
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
I am the shadow - with the eyes, eyes of fire
I will fulfill your every - hellish desire
Come sit on this throne - here beside me and be mine
And we'll watch the flames get higher and higher and higher and
Higher...
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
This is just the start dear friends
For I have come to claim revenge
My victims turning, running scared
You people better go and beware
Your weak god can not help you now
Come, we will play in the fire
Worship the sun
Worship no one
Worship the sun
Worship no one
Worship the sun
Worship no one
A virgin of snow white - purity
Do not fear - my fortunate one
Let us consummate our igneous union
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
I am the shadow - with the eyes, eyes of fire
I will fulfill your every - hellish desire
Come sit on this throne - here beside me and be mine
And we'll watch the flames get higher and higher and higher and
Higher...
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
Ave ave satanas
This is just the start dear friends
For I have come to claim revenge
My victims turning, running scared
You people better go and beware
Your weak god can not help you now
Come, we will play in the fire
Worship the sun
Worship no one
Worship the sun
Worship no one
Worship the sun
Worship no one

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
If you don't know who Geezer Butler is, and say that you are a fan of this type of music, you have some serious homework to do. The reason that his opinion of this song matters is, well, and this is quite funny, he only wrote the fuckin' thing! I do like it when other bands play Sabbath covers, too. Type O can add so much to them. I'm a huge BS fan, but Type O just plays them in a way that I personally like more. I won't say they are better, since the originals are great and this wouldn't exist without it. Other bands can add a lot to Sabbath songs, like Slayer doing Hand of Doom (it isn't what you think it is if you haven't heard it yet) or Soulfly playing Under the Sun. I think the meaning of this song is pretty clear, unless your retarded or something like that (like Flip_Guy). Seriously, if you take most of what Peter says in his lyrics, you are far more fucked up then he is. Could you imagine someone thinking that Cannibal Corpse is serious when they walk about killing people and monsters? Sadly there are people out there that want to ruin it for the rest of us. Besides, Oden could kick you gods ass. If Oden in one thing, he's cocksure. (For clarification, I don't believe in any of them)
