The Truth of a Liar

August Burns Red

Allow what's done to preach new insight to your life
Hindsight is perfect vision
The past is easiest to see
Clear a path
Stand aside
We're carrying the torch now
Clear a path
Stand aside
We're carrying the torch now
Clear a path
Stand aside
There's no stopping us
Clear a path
Stand aside
We're carrying the torch now
Clear a path
Stand aside
There's no stopping us

You might think you're everything to everyone, to everyone
Go ahead
Partake in it
Justify it
Become engulfed in it
It will eat you alive

This is not a one way road
You're headed for the dead end
This is not a one way road
You're headed for the dead end

You might think you're everything to everyone
Well pardon me if I intrude
You might think you're everything to everyone
You're not a perfect man in a perfect world

Look at where your ignorance has brought you
All this will be buried
Like the fall of Rome
Look at where your ignorance has brought you
You will come crashing down

The truth hurts (The truth hurts)
The truth hurts (The truth hurts)
The truth hurts (The truth hurts), but denial's what will kill you

All that you loved, all that you treasure, will pass with time
Will pass with time
Blinded by the inability to see beyond flesh and blood
Blinded by the inability to see beyond flesh and blood

Shifting blame with a log in your eye
Insisting that a string tied to your limbs is what's to blame
What's to blame
Suck it up and bite the bullet

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.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
