Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay

Searching for blood in the salty sea
The sun beating down on the chest and back of me
Looking for drugs in a southern town, hey, hey, hey, hey
I've got this red right hand that points me south
The puke green cloud just spat me out
Into the hot heartland, I've landed with no shoe

I hear, hey, hey, hey, hey
Come pollinate me, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Come pollinate me, hey

Across the room, across the room
I hope to watch you writhe again soon
Across the room, across the room
I hope to watch you writhe again soon

Alright, we're gonna do it again for you now, okay
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah

They've got the army of ears, they can hear you now
I've got the piss in my veins and these furrowed brows
You've got this one last chance to burn me, turn me down
If not, I've got these last twelve bucks to spend on you
You can take me anywhere your sick mind wants to
I'll use your south to fuel me using you

Oh, I hear, hey, hey, hey, hey
Come pollinate me, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Come pollinate me, hey

Across the room, across the room
I hope to watch you writhe again soon
Across the room, across the room
I hope to watch you writhe again soon

Oh, oh

I hear, hey, hey, hey, hey
Come pollinate me, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Come pollinate me, hey

Hey, hey come pollinate me
Across the room, across the room
I hope to watch you writhe again soon
Across the room, across the room
I hope to watch you writhe again soon

I hope to watch you writhe again soon

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
