Bone bone bone bone bone bone bone bone
So tell me what you're gonna do
When there ain't nowhere 2 run
When judgment comes 4 you
(when judgment comes 4 u)
So tell me what your gonna do
When there ain't no place 2 hide
When judgment comes 4 you
'cause its gonna come 4 you

[Chorus]
See you at the crossroads crossroads crossroads
[3 times after that]

[Flava:] so why you gotta go and pray your gonna make it some day
You got a job so why do you want a raise
Why you want to act tough why can't you
Play this whole fame
Thing just comes one of these days
When it comes you'll be one of a kind
But before this keep all this in your mind
'cause I will hold you till the end of the line want all this you'll be mad to decline

[Reepa:] so what you gonna do when everydays the same
Try and do this
Shush just 4 a glimpse of fame
Didn't mean 2 do it
Just put yourself 2 shame
Didn't want 2 kill her just tryin 2 play the game
Wen you reach the crossroads where you gonna go
Go with your coinsience
Just let your feelings flow
Lifes up lifes down
But things can turn around
Innocent or guilty you will soon be found

[KRAZY]
So what ya gonna do when people hate you
Chat you
Beat you
They don't like you
Can't run away coz they will find you
Prayin for answers wot ya gonna do
Make decisions where ya gonna go
Take the crossroads go with the flow
You gotta come easy and then you gotta go
Your livin in a hateful world
Keep low

[Breakdown]
Mmmm and we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
Everyday everyday everyday everyday
And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
Still we lay still we lay

[KENZIE]
There's things in life you have to make
Which path you take is like deja-vou
Stand by your side
Stand next to you
Be there in the middle when your passin through
In the middle meet you at the crossroads
Between love and hate
Between good and evil
We can see right through you
When you tell the truth
All single lie
We brake sumthin
Your gonna make a man cry
Don't want to talk about the day your gonna die
Sooner or later that day will come
When you have to make a right or wrong decision
Its hard to take and make
Curlin by they just separate you
Want to do that sht
Prime resists at the end of the day
Its up to you
Ill be there in the middle when your passin through.

[chorus x2]
(so you won't be lonely)

[Rockyb:] see you at the crossroads see you
See you at the crossroads see you
[x2]

[Spike-e:] who's THAT GET OFF THE TRAIN
AVIREX JACKET WITH THE POOR WITH THE RAIN
WHY TAKE THAT MANS CHAIN
NO MORE TROUBLE MADE

[Melo-d:] living on the streets everyday so lame
People walking past looking at you in shame
But they don't really care who's the one 2 blame
You're gonna take the wrong turn your gonna lose the game
You no its not you're fault that life turned this way
But ppl don't care don't hear what you say
The way it is now is the ways it gonna stay
There's no choice left but to hope and pray

[BREAKDOWN]
[Chorus x2]
(so you won't b lonley)

Ave Grave
Thee More Shallows
So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new. This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus. Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness". The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1. All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy. And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns) There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
