This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
We woke up as men, but tonight
Tonight we'll sleep as killers
As we break the cryptic morning
With a bullet and a prayer
The steel never seemed so cold and agile
And a life never seemed less vital and fragile
With a heart that's beating
Louder than my own
I watch a girl they call Kezia
I watch a woman that I know
My hope and my own future, blindfolded (to atone)
To atone for a sin I didn't care for
But a sin that paid my debts
A sin that fed my children
That burned my smiles and cigarettes
And no one ever
Said that hope would be so beautiful
And no one ever
Said I'd have to pull the trigger, on her
I can't even still her trembling hands
That were locked up by the dutiful
And the obligated
Five soldiers forever sedated
With the "No one's responsible"
Pathological drama of our
Social justice dribble, dribble, dribble
Her tiny steps tell lies (Resurrect a static lifetime)
About the choice I have to make (Starve to death my own mistakes)
Pull the screaming trigger
And watch your carcass bleed me dry
Or drop the gun and try to shake away
The blindfold from your eyes?
Drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun
Drop the gun!
Sin I didn't care for
But a sin that paid my debts
A sin that fed my children
And burned my smiles and cigarettes
Sin I didn't care for
But a sin that paid my debts
A sin that fed my children
That burned my smiles and cigarettes
Tonight we'll sleep as killers
As we break the cryptic morning
With a bullet and a prayer
The steel never seemed so cold and agile
And a life never seemed less vital and fragile
With a heart that's beating
Louder than my own
I watch a girl they call Kezia
I watch a woman that I know
My hope and my own future, blindfolded (to atone)
To atone for a sin I didn't care for
But a sin that paid my debts
A sin that fed my children
That burned my smiles and cigarettes
And no one ever
Said that hope would be so beautiful
And no one ever
Said I'd have to pull the trigger, on her
I can't even still her trembling hands
That were locked up by the dutiful
And the obligated
Five soldiers forever sedated
With the "No one's responsible"
Pathological drama of our
Social justice dribble, dribble, dribble
Her tiny steps tell lies (Resurrect a static lifetime)
About the choice I have to make (Starve to death my own mistakes)
Pull the screaming trigger
And watch your carcass bleed me dry
Or drop the gun and try to shake away
The blindfold from your eyes?
Drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun
Drop the gun!
Sin I didn't care for
But a sin that paid my debts
A sin that fed my children
And burned my smiles and cigarettes
Sin I didn't care for
But a sin that paid my debts
A sin that fed my children
That burned my smiles and cigarettes

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Well, since there's the question of "what is Kezia?" I did a bit of research....
"Kezia is a 'situational requiem', similar to a concept album in that it tells a story. It is an elegy of the young woman Kezia's execution, chronicled in the perspective of three characters: The Prison Priest, The Prison Guard/Gunman, and Kezia herself. Each character is designated a section containing three songs, with a single retrospective finale concluding the album. The three characters represent an aspect of the bandmembers themselves, endowing artistic fingerprints to a deeply personal album.
Kezia was not intended to be listened to superficially; only a fraction of the story and emotion will be heard in this way. Aesthetic should surpass the musicianship, and focus paid to deciphering the cryptic lyrics; the theme is more than a pretentious backdrop, but tells a poignant and provocative tale. The album was written to be interpreted in its entirety, not skimmed at face-value. The story (which is admitted to be heavily influenced by the works of Dostoevsky) of Kezia was conceived by bassist Arif Mirabdolbaghi when the Protest boys were in the eleventh grade (2002-2003)..."
