Stutter step through another trap set by deception
Mention rejection
Always lies in your eyes
Settles in your action
Jeopardize everything that I want
And I won't compromise anything anymore
In any way victimize myself any more
Liberty (yeah)

Manipulations on my mind
Expectations well defined
Frustrate me
Liberate me

Cause everything's falling apart
You can't control me, You can't control me
Everything's falling apart
Now I can't see you
Doesn't matter what I do
I can't see you

Cause everything's falling apart
I got exposed to a deeper form of infection
Shout out "I need acception"
Always lies in your eyes
Settles in your action

Criticize everything that I do
And I will overcome anything that's in store
Nevermore look up to you and adore
Liberty (yeah)

[Chorus]

Manipulation is on my mind
Inspect me, try to check me
Expectations well defined
Dissect me, want to wreck me
Violator of my own will
Accept me- reject me
Separate or shoot to kill

[Chorus]

    ok i will talk about the song, which will be different. i believe its having expectations reqiured of you and not being able to meet them and feeling a complete loss of control over a situation. if you've been there it real does feel like your life is falling apart and you can't control your own destiny, that failure is inevitable.

    They are, it's just that 98% of other people who were thinking of commenting realised that the messages they'd post would look anything remotely coherent to the english language. How did you 2 people (yes, talking to the person who asks a question before even saying anything and the person who needs to say things twice just in case people decided to skip the first comment for good reasons) fall into the 2%?

    I agree... apperantly they are pretty well known in japan but not really in north america... but if you think about it... look at all the bands with no talent like the black eyed peas and and such... all you need is one good song to get famous... after that you can coast for a long time

    I agree with mintcardream.....you're always striving to meet the expectations someone else wants from you....but you know it's no use....all you want is acceptance even if you can't succeed....failure is the only thing that will happen and that you just can't control what happens all the time.....

    Love this song, it is just different. In a way, I feel what the song describes just hearing it.

    Yeah that bit rocks, I think mintcardream is right except it's also about trying to break free from these expectations with "You can't control me" and the fact the whole song is explaining how it hurts him "Disect me, Wanna wreck me"

    it talks about rebelling against the system, dont let others pick who you are, and turn your back on those you want you to change for their sake.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Punchline
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.
Album art
Amazing
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.
