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.
When it's cold, it come slow.
It is warm, just watch it grow.
-- all around me.
It is here. It is now.
Just a little bit of it can bring you up or down.
Like the supper it is cooking in your hometown.
It is chicken, it is eggs,
it is in between your legs.
It is walking on the moon,
leaving your cocoon.
It is the jigsaw, it is purple haze.
It never stays in one place, but it's not a passing phase.
It is in the single's (sic) bar, in the distance of the face.
It is in between the cages, it is always in a space.
It is here, it is now.
Any rock can be made to roll,
if you've enough of it to pay the toll.
It has no home in words or goal,
not even in your favourite hole.
It is the hope for the dope.
When you ride the horse without a hoof.
It is shaken, not stirred;
cocktails on the roof.
When you eat right fru it you see everything alive.
It is inside spirit, with enough grit to survive.
If you think that it's pretentious, you've been taken for a ride.
Look across the mirror, before you choose de cide
it is here. it is now.
It is Real. It is Rael.
'Cos it's only knock and knowall, but I like it.
It is warm, just watch it grow.
-- all around me.
It is here. It is now.
Just a little bit of it can bring you up or down.
Like the supper it is cooking in your hometown.
It is chicken, it is eggs,
it is in between your legs.
It is walking on the moon,
leaving your cocoon.
It is the jigsaw, it is purple haze.
It never stays in one place, but it's not a passing phase.
It is in the single's (sic) bar, in the distance of the face.
It is in between the cages, it is always in a space.
It is here, it is now.
Any rock can be made to roll,
if you've enough of it to pay the toll.
It has no home in words or goal,
not even in your favourite hole.
It is the hope for the dope.
When you ride the horse without a hoof.
It is shaken, not stirred;
cocktails on the roof.
When you eat right fru it you see everything alive.
It is inside spirit, with enough grit to survive.
If you think that it's pretentious, you've been taken for a ride.
Look across the mirror, before you choose de cide
it is here. it is now.
It is Real. It is Rael.
'Cos it's only knock and knowall, but I like it.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
I agree that the song is just an abstract you make IT what you want IT to be. Perhaps IT is as simple as IT is life?
As for the Knock and Knowall part. I think it's simply him just trying to sound like the stones. Sort of how in the first song you hear the Broadway song and in In The Cage you hear Raindrops are Falling On My Head, and My Little Runaway. It sort of if Rael is actually dreaming the whole time with his radio on and every once in a while the sound of the music pokes in. Why did he change the words? Probably copyright issues.
