This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Could it be that it didn't happen?
Could it be that I wasn't there?
I could swear that my eyes were open
But there's nothing at which to stare
I remember the people dying
Staring blankly into the sky
Unaffected and undistracted
Redirected to pass them by
Cold as steel underneath my broken skin I'm bleeding
Forced to feel devastation unto Genocide
My reflection sometimes reminds me
In the image was I born?
Technically I'm enhanced they tell me
From their minds my existence torn
They don't know all the hate I'm feeling
They don't see how it breeds inside
I'm afraid of the walls around me
I'm afraid but I can not hide
Cold as steel underneath my broken skin I'm bleeding
Forced to feel while I live through programmed suicide
They'll ask why can't remember when I started hearing
Do or die Devastation unto Genocide
There's a reason that I met you it's to show me how to die
Simplify my own correction
Disconnect me where I lie
There is conflict all around us
There is conflict in my soul
Put and end to what's beginning to make me want to play my role
Cold as steel underneath my broken skin I'm bleeding
Forced to feel while I live through programmed suicide
They'll ask why can't remember when I started hearing
Do or die Devastation unto genocide
Could it be that I wasn't there?
I could swear that my eyes were open
But there's nothing at which to stare
I remember the people dying
Staring blankly into the sky
Unaffected and undistracted
Redirected to pass them by
Cold as steel underneath my broken skin I'm bleeding
Forced to feel devastation unto Genocide
My reflection sometimes reminds me
In the image was I born?
Technically I'm enhanced they tell me
From their minds my existence torn
They don't know all the hate I'm feeling
They don't see how it breeds inside
I'm afraid of the walls around me
I'm afraid but I can not hide
Cold as steel underneath my broken skin I'm bleeding
Forced to feel while I live through programmed suicide
They'll ask why can't remember when I started hearing
Do or die Devastation unto Genocide
There's a reason that I met you it's to show me how to die
Simplify my own correction
Disconnect me where I lie
There is conflict all around us
There is conflict in my soul
Put and end to what's beginning to make me want to play my role
Cold as steel underneath my broken skin I'm bleeding
Forced to feel while I live through programmed suicide
They'll ask why can't remember when I started hearing
Do or die Devastation unto genocide

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I would go so far this about actualgenocide since this seems to be coming right out of the mouth from a brain-washed soldier. Not his thoughts at the time of course, but perhaps a looking back after the conflict. The fact was he felt by the end, like a pawn being played by a warlord and now he realizes that his internal conflict was just one of millions.
