War is overdue
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground
Lose control
In increasing pace
Wantonly waste
Intention erased
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
Whoa, yeah
(Aim, shoot, kill your leaders)
(Aim, kill them all)
Oppose and disagree
Destroy demonocracy
Lose control
In increasing pace
Wantonly waste
Intention erased
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
(Go)
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground
Lose control
In increasing pace
Wantonly waste
Intention erased
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
Whoa, yeah
(Aim, shoot, kill your leaders)
(Aim, kill them all)
Oppose and disagree
Destroy demonocracy
Lose control
In increasing pace
Wantonly waste
Intention erased
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
(Go)

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.
Holiday

@[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 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.
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.
Something I've noticed that seems very creative is the sound they make at one point in the song; let me try to describe where it is.
After the first "Assassin is born," Matt goes into a "Woaahhhhh" part, and then they build up the tension until finally you hear a "CHING!!" sound, almost like two blades colliding. Now, this is just my personal interpretation, but to me that symbolizes the eventual climax in the conflict between both parties: the assassin striking, or the beginning of violence. Almost as cool is the fact that they had a few smaller, similar sound effects in the background after that one climactic strike, perhaps symbolizing the call to action working and others taking part in the revolution. I then believe the rest of the song has to do with what the revolutionary(s) are thinking as they continue their fight; the ideas drilled into their mind so that they only focus on those thoughts.
Unfortunately, my Windows Media Player counts down the time in the song instead of counting up, so the only thing I can tell you as far as an exact time is that it happened when it said there was 1:24 left. I hope the description helps, though. ^_^
