It's all about the little island in Jamaica,
"Sweet Home Town Jamaica" done over in a Toasters stylee.

Oh yeah. Now now. Hell yeah.

Sweet home town Jamaica,
Where them skies are blue.
Sweet home town Jamaica,
Lord, I'm coming home to you.

So when my soul was busy searchin'
Travelin' the world around, that's true.
See many different smilin' faces,
Some beautiful countries too.

But no matter where and what I been to,
It all lead right back to you.
For somethin' forcefully be drawin' us home,
Sweet Jamaica it's all about you.

So mi bredren what we do?

Sweet home town Jamaica,
Where them skies are blue.
Sweet home town Jamaica,
Lord, I'm coming home to you.

A little lady on the corner,
She's sellin' fruits and veggie too.
And you can tell she ain't got no money,
But she find a way to do what she do.

Ghetto livin', some hard times,
Jah will ever lead us on our way.
But somehow somewhere there's got to be a better way.
We lookin' forward to that day.

So bredren what we say?

Sweet home town Jamaica,
Where them skies are blue.
Sweet home town Jamaica,
Lord, I'm coming home to you.

And then we tell dem said!

We goin' down Jamaica where the good ganja grow,
All Jamaica people, them a love that so.
People come from east, west, north and south,
Big up the good weed an they run off their mouth.
Some a them angry some a-bawl some a-cry,
Want a good weed fe a-burn them inna I.
We tellin' them the truth we not a-tellin' them the lie,
When each and every youth, man, we give them a light.

Sweet home town Jamaica,
Where them skies are blue.
Sweet home town Jamaica,
Lord, I'm coming home to you.

Hey Richey give me some...

Oh yeah. Now now.

Sweet home town Jamaica,
Where them skies are blue.
Sweet home town Jamaica,
Lord, I'm coming home to you.

Hey Bucket take me home...

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.

Blue
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.

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.
