[Shaggy 2 Dope]
The witch jumped on my back last night, I couldn't breathe
In it's clutch I was frozen with fright
It went on for what seemed like hours of terror
To see the witches face stare in the dark at the mirror

[Violent J]
The witch told me my girlfriend was a demon
And all this fallin' in love shit, I'm dreamin'
And it's pain to the angels if I don't deliver
Sealed her off in a barrel and rolled her in a river

[Shaggy 2 Dope]
The witch told me my left arm is possessed
So I broke it at first and then I went and confessed
But they put me in a home, my arm still wouldn't leave me alone
Finally had to chew it off at the bone

[Violent J]
The witch told me to crawl under my house and just wait
Don't panic if I suffocate
I bit the tail off a possum down there at one point
It's so boring and it's dark but the witch is my light

Something is standing between me and my sanity!
They say my witch is a dream, morbid fantasy!
I say wake the dead, wake the dead, wake em'!
(WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE EM'!)
I say wake the dead, wake the dead, wake em'!
(WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE EM'!)

[Shaggy 2 Dope]
The witch taught me how to cut up a body
It's nasty and wretched and hella bloody
But it's gotta get done and somebody's gotta do it
I kick the fuckin' face in and put my knife thru it

[Violent J]
The witch jumped on me again, here we go
Layin' in my bed, I can't breathe anymo'
Layin' in my bed, I can't move anymo'
There's a demon floating in my face, clampin' my jaw

[Shaggy 2 Dope]
The witch told me I gotta murder this one kid
K, well, maybe the witch didn't then, but I did
With a ninja suit, crept thru like a black widow
with the crossbow, stuck him in the neck like ditto

[Violent J]
The witch told me about blood that rains
Out of the neck and what particular veins
And about murder, witnessin' death settin' in
And it ain't no heaven that's lettin' me in

Something is standing between me and my sanity!
They say my witch is a dream, morbid fantasy!
I say wake the dead, wake the dead, wake em'!
(WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE EM'!)
I say wake the dead, wake the dead, wake em'!
(WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE EM'!)

[Shaggy 2 Dope]
The witch told me to put my feet in the fire
And hold on til everything below the knees gone
Now I'm in a wheelchair with only an arm but don't care
I can still throw my hatchet in the air

[Violent J]
The witch got me in a predicament, it ain't good
I got somebody head posted on my hood
4:30 a.m. and we rollin' thru the ghetto
Shaggy ridin' shotgun and the witch is in the middle

Something is standing between me and my sanity!
They say my witch is a dream, morbid fantasy!
I say wake the dead, wake the dead, wake em'!
(WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE EM'!)
I say wake the dead, wake the dead, wake em'!
(WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE EM'!)
I say wake the dead, wake the dead, wake em'!
(WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE EM'!)
I say wake the dead, wake the dead, wake em'!
(WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE EM'!)
I say wake the dead, wake the dead, wake em'!
(WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE EM'!)
I say wake the dead, wake the dead, wake em'!
(WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE THE DEAD! WAKE EM'!)

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

Mountain Song
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."
