What you know about that
Fallen! Fallen Babylon!
The so-called great. Dead weight
Dread 'bout to update
The death rate, in one take
Make no mistake
We the real deala
The radical, natural-born wig splitta
Gonna get cha with the style
That make your soul holla, more drama
The on droppa the sure sotta
Rock it steady, we ready
Till the track is diminished
And when the dog goes belly up
Consider it finished
Sounds like it's war to me
Peace, love and casualties
Sounds like it's war to me, yeah
Close your eyes so you can see
Peace, love and harmony
Sounds like the war in me, yeah
We keep on moving like don't stop
Let it go. Soul to soul
Dread at the controls
Tag 'em up and label them John Doe
The raw flow
Rebuild the new style empire
Blazing required like that
Fourth man on fire
This gun's for hire
Take the vow of the Nazarene
To come clean
Like crazy baldheads (knot I mean)
Wickedness fear the style of the deathblow
Carve the name across your chest
In case the dog catcher want to know
Sounds like it's war to me
Peace, love and casualties
Sounds like it's war to me, yeah
Close your eyes so you can see
Peace, love and harmony
Sounds like the war in me, yeah
Dread at the controls, label them John Doe
Sounds like it's war to me
Peace, love and casualties
Sounds like it's war to me, yeah
Close your eyes so you can see
Peace, love and harmony
Sounds like the war in me, yeah
Sounds like it's war to me
Peace, love and casualties
Sounds like it's war to me, yeah
Whatever the case may be
This time it's got to be
Peace, love and harmony, yeah
Fallen! Fallen Babylon!
The so-called great. Dead weight
Dread 'bout to update
The death rate, in one take
Make no mistake
We the real deala
The radical, natural-born wig splitta
Gonna get cha with the style

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."
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
In a mortuary a body is named "John Doe" if it has not been identified. John Doe sorta sounds like "Don't Know" so that is why they use it. The reason they use John Doe in this song is because if are going to be on Satan's side on Judgement Day, you will have no identity because you are not a child of God, therefore you will be a "John Doe". This is actually one of my favourite P.O.D. songs just because of the simple nature of it and it puts its message across straightforward way not trying to hide it under an amzing rythmical tune.
It's about war. And it's a shitty song in my opinion. Parts of it sound like wannabe Rage gone bad. Verses sound bad and the hook ain't much either. I don't know what these guys were thinking on this album. Most of the tracks are garbage. It's disappointing to me because I really used to like this group.
Hot take but Rage are overrated fake revolutionary major label sellouts (probably deep state controlled) I would rather hang out with the boys of P.O.D any day. The fact that they claim they invented Nu-metal (particularity Tom Morello) but shit on it at the same time speak volumes to me. Also Limp Bizkit > Rage anytime!<br /> <br /> For the song other 'bobtheflob' said it's about the war inside (particularly for ones soul) and looking at the lyrics I would agree with that summary.
they had this song on "The Warriors EP volume 2"but instead it said : "Sound like it's Jah to me, Sound like it's Jah to me, the sum of everything yeah. Close your eyes so you can see peace, love and harmony. Sounds like it's Jah to me yeah." And it was called "Ya Mama". All this leads to my question, why did they change it?
Although the song is by no means amongst the best on the album, i still think it has a certain amount of quality, and I rather enjoy it. I'm not overly sure on the John Doe part, the song, to me, is about the war we are fighting inside of ourselves, the spiritual war against our own sin. Perhaps John Doe is a reference to the film Se7en were John Doe was a mass murderer, killing people in accordance to there 'sin'.
This song rocks! I love it because there are so many Biblical references sprinkled throughout. "Fallen! Fallen Babylon!" is from Revelation (and I think Isaiah), and I think the word "dog" is really "die" (I've seen it that way elsewhere), which fits "The last enemy to be defeated is death" (die goes belly up consider it finished). The fourth man on fire is from the account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (they were thrown in a furnace, but rather than burning, they walked around inside with "the fourth" who "looks like a son of the gods"). Of course, Christ was a Nazarene, and "baldhead" is a reference to Elijah (or Elisha, I'm not sure which). POD really knows their stuff!
