Royal Canadian blended
The spicy aroma had mended me
Matured for years and imported
Into my glass you poured it

And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me

You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
'Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me

And Wild Turkey's been chosen
It's caramel nose can smell me
Arbourler/Jameson, I love you
The single malts came burning

And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me

You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
'Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me

Royal Canadian blended
The spicy aroma had mended me

And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me

You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
'Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me

    I think this song is about alcoholism, how for whatever reason his addiction has acted as something that has stopped him from committing suicide. "And you're the only reason, That I remain unfrozen" I think it can be asumed that the after effects of large alcohol consumption has not helped him at all, but he is still hooked to it - "Suppose it stands to reason That you would turn on me." I guess you can say that there is a split line as to what this line could be, "You're so solid." I think that when he says, 'You're so solid' he's talking about an empty bottle, his moment of joy of drinking has stopped, the bottle is empty, no liquid remains but the soild. But it could also mean that it's hard, like a hard obstalce to overcome.

    I love muse.

    I cant belive no ones said nething bout sober. U should all b ashamed!!!

    This is probs my fave Muse song cos it's the first 1 i eva heard. Methinks its about someone with a drinking problem and they're showing their love for the sweet stuff. Least that wot i think.

    its clearly abot matts hate of turkeys. his aunt bessie used to force him to eat turkey every xmas. so he covered it in alchole to cover the taste. the "Royal Canadian blended The spicy aroma had mended me" refers to his dad who was a mountie and used to bring back cheap whiskey for him from canada.

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.

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.
