In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The lights are on
The t.v's off
The floors are flesh and silk
Both sinfully soft
Skin glides over silk
And silk over skin
The penthouse is alive tonight
Theres people writhing in its veins
Sunken in the masters chair
Lord gold's face, a blank survey
Women pleasure men at the wave of a golden hand
And turn to receive when it waves again
The wine is fire
The whiskeys full of stars
There's a deaf mute in a bunny suit
Working the bar
The loves fuck
They pulse and moan
Passion playing tribute
At the foot of a porcelain
Sunken in the masters chair
Lord gold's face a blank survey
Women pleasure men at the wave of a golden hand
And turn to receive when it waves again
Still his eyes are like an empty carousel
Promising pleasure but offering none!
She feels him
Watching gazing leering blankly vacant worthless golden perfect
Beyond these walls nothing exists
Here there's flesh+gold and blood in the wine
Outside there's barren emotional landscape
Here we drink, dream+cum inside
Here there's no pain
Here she comes
Wash off the filth and bring her
Shower her body with jewels covered in cum
Sacrificed on his holy altar of passions
The golden day has come
The lights are all off now
And the love growing louder
The pink, throbbing and filling the room
Indulging in the inner, denying the outer
Shes brought before he
His empty gaze it lingers
He beats a cats paw- against a toy drum
His golden will be done
The t.v's off
The floors are flesh and silk
Both sinfully soft
Skin glides over silk
And silk over skin
The penthouse is alive tonight
Theres people writhing in its veins
Sunken in the masters chair
Lord gold's face, a blank survey
Women pleasure men at the wave of a golden hand
And turn to receive when it waves again
The wine is fire
The whiskeys full of stars
There's a deaf mute in a bunny suit
Working the bar
The loves fuck
They pulse and moan
Passion playing tribute
At the foot of a porcelain
Sunken in the masters chair
Lord gold's face a blank survey
Women pleasure men at the wave of a golden hand
And turn to receive when it waves again
Still his eyes are like an empty carousel
Promising pleasure but offering none!
She feels him
Watching gazing leering blankly vacant worthless golden perfect
Beyond these walls nothing exists
Here there's flesh+gold and blood in the wine
Outside there's barren emotional landscape
Here we drink, dream+cum inside
Here there's no pain
Here she comes
Wash off the filth and bring her
Shower her body with jewels covered in cum
Sacrificed on his holy altar of passions
The golden day has come
The lights are all off now
And the love growing louder
The pink, throbbing and filling the room
Indulging in the inner, denying the outer
Shes brought before he
His empty gaze it lingers
He beats a cats paw- against a toy drum
His golden will be done

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
this song might partially be about a man who has everything but has lost interest in it all. or maybe i'm completely off.
Fun
Hi comes practically noone has commented this song. I just love it... well i know i can love a lot of songs... w/e. Is a great song. The lyrics are very fun..and twisted. It should be about a Sex mansion.
the song as stated by nathan on the dvd is... "the one about the orgy"
Lord Gold Throneroom, was also used as the stage name of keyboardist Erik "Lord Gold" Engstrom. So basically its like a satirical look at Erik Engstrom and how he has orgies in his house i suppose...
Yea i seriously can't beleive there aren't more posts about this song. this is totally one of horse's best. So fun, hooky beats, great stuff. and the into is probably one of the best of any song i've ever herd. i love the irony of the orgy sounds with the childishly happy synth beat. freaking awesome. Golden. Perfect.

Awesome song. Best to bump this on your 1000 watt car stereo to get death stares from people. Pure fun.
Rock on urgayufag. I can't count the numerous times I've blasted Birdo/Lord Gold Throneroom, yelled that starting "Bird.....OOOOOOOOO" by people on the sidewalk (just like it sounds in the song too, funny stuff). Can't even calculate how many times I've air-keyboarded Birdo/Lord Gold Throneroom either.
the song is about Erik the keyboarist. its kinda like a song to make erik seem like a sex god, which is a rumor started by the band to promote Erik's alter-ego.
