Eternal rhythms in your system so clear
No negatives, take your isms stay clear
We keep it lovely, give you what you won't hear
And Matisyahu in the house, stand clear
P.O.D. in the house, stand clear
If Jah is for me, tell me who I'm goin' fear
No I won't fear
And Jah of Jacob is deserving of my love
And God of Isaac reign blessings from above
Hashem of Abraham will show me the way
I go down on my knees and this is what I pray

Strength of my life, whom shall I dread
When the evil doers approach to devour my flesh?
Even if there would be an army against me
My heart would not fear

Steer clear from weird vibes
Chuck the spirit evil guise must realize
Even if there rise a war against me
In this I trust, it's a must
Elevated is my head above my enemy
Surround me with the song of glory
Take away the scales from my eyes
Anoint your love upon my life
Have mercy on my soul and hear me when I cry
Do not abandon me and do not forsake me
Leave me on the path of integrity
Even if there would be an army against me
My heart would not fear

Strength of my life, whom shall I dread
When the evil doers approach to devour my flesh?
Back them up against the wall
Stumble and fall
Them battle y'all and stand tall
Show me favor when I call
Back them up against the wall
Stumble and fall
Battle y'all and stand tall
Show me favor when I call

Matisyahu and P.O.D. eternally with His Majesty
Dwelling in the songs of glory
Dwelling with the songs of glory

    I really don't like reggae, but for some reason when I hear this song I feel like rolling up a blunt and getting high as fuck. :) It really calms you down. Still, I don't think reggae belongs on POD albums even though they always put reggae in. It's like they just throw them on to fill tracks. Sad part here is that this reggae track sounds better than 95% of the rest of the shit on their album.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
