The Phantom Patriot
The Phantom Patriot

Creeping ever creeping
Like a fox in the night turning wrongs into right
He only works alone
With a crossbow on his shoulder
And a saber at his side
With random guns and knives
His mask is white as bone

The Phantom Patriot
The Phantom Patriot
He's come to save the day
The Phantom Patriot
The Phantom Patriot
He's come to save the day
Yes, he's come to save the day

Roaming through the compound with a formulated plan
There to help his fellow man
At this decisive point in time
The Bohemians of the grove don't see it quite the same
Smelling danger in his game
They dub his quest a crime

The Phantom Patriot
The Phantom Patriot
He's come to save the day
The Phantom Patriot
The Phantom Patriot
He's come to save the day

So cast your fears away
Searching for his quarry through the elite redwood maze
He's well provisioned for the days
And nights he must remain alert
And though it's not intended our hero is soon apprehended
With Phantom Patriot in Sharpie
Written boldly across his shirt

The Phantom Patriot
The Phantom Patriot
He's come to save the day
Yes, he's come to save the day
The Phantom Patriot
The Phantom Patriot
Yes, he's come to save the day
And to help you cast your fears away

    This is about the Bohemian Grove, but not Alex Jones. It's about Richard McCaslin, the Phantom Patriot, who infiltrated the Bohemian Grove in an attempt to expose the supposed satanic rituals going on. See:

    Somebody point to me that the song is about Alex Jones* (He is the phantompatriot) going into the bohemian grove** to expose the nwo's rituals and such:

    "Searching for his quarry through the elite redwood maze He's well provisioned for the days And nights he must remain alert And though it's not intended our hero is soon apprehended" how do i know is the bohemian grove read closely:

    "The BOHEMIANS OF THE GROVE don't see it quite the same Smelling danger in his game They dub his quest a crime"

    i thought the phantom patriot was an ironic refernce to bush. his quest is the iraq war, the bohemians is another name for inter city dwellers (who don't agree with his quest/war), he works alone(no one supports his plan), he's caught (we find out the war/quest is for bad reasons-money/pride/fame/hero complex?). but that's what i think.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

Plastic Bag
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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
