This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The functional member of society,
Fixes dysfunctions,
Fixed my car,
Fixed my art,
Fixed the price,
Fixed my vice,
Made me a functional member of society.
Make me function,
Make me function,
Make me function,
So functional.
The functional member of sobriety,
Fixed me a drink,
A shot of methadone
So I won't think.
A low tar cigarette
To cut down the threat
Of making me a functional member of sobriety.
Mr. Function, what's your gumption,
Spreading the word of conditioned corruption.
Mr. Function, a revolution is beginning to form,
At the D.C. junction.
Made me function,
Made me function,
Made me function,
So functional.
The functional member of hilarity,
Is on the TV,
Now I can sit at home
And be told how to be.
How to wear my coat,
How to righteously vote,
Ain't gonna be a functional member of hilarity.
Made me function,
Made me function,
Made me function,
So functional.
Nobody gonna pull me down,
Nobody gonna push me around.
Nobody gonna pull me down,
Nobody gonna push me around.
Nobody gonna pull me,
Nobody gonna push me.
Nobody!

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
