The horseman you have brought deserve me
Somehow they've made it through the floor
The clocks you set, are they reversing?
Before this visit turns conjugal evermore

Maybe tonight, oh-oh-oh-oh

So my half is waiting filed to a pulp
Used insomnia's been cleansing with floods
I got a pain inside that'll rip through the very fabric of time
'Cause I've been with you before, God gave me sin

I've got to get born
Just so you know

There's too many reasons
Too many reasons
Too many ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Too many ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Too many re-

You set the silver down to guard me from the weak
You check the spelling for nothing, nothing
You set the silver down to guard me from the weak
You check the spelling for nothing, nothing

You sent yourself the flood

All of this time bedsore containment
Where am I now that the music has faded?
All of this time bedsore containment
Where am I now that the music has faded?

And I'm nowhere near the place
You sent me here to breathe
But I'm drawing closer to the present
And I'll
Find a space with no
Memories
I've got a second chance to inhabit the living

If Goliath wont speak
I'm blinded by heaven
When will your Eden come die?
If the liars that blink
Are bound by the sender
Trinkets you gave have all rusted down

All of this time bedsore containment
Where am I now that the music has faded?
All of this time bedsore containment
Where am I now that the music has faded?

You better steal this chance
To give birth to more
You'll wear those healing damns
Down to the plug

All of this time bedsore containment
Where am I now that the music has faded?
All of this time bedsore containment
Where am I now that the music has faded?

You better steal this chance
To give birth to more
You'll wear those healing damns
Down to the plug

    The whole tone of the song seems to suggest that someone has finally realized something.I think it's that TMV, maybe Cedric in particular realized that Goliath is a dangerous waste of time and a drain on the band. As for the ending, I think its the sound of Goliath wishing not to be buried.

    "The clocks you set are they reversing. Before this visit turns conjugal, ever more." Cedric is telling Goliath that he's going to get rid of it before the two of them end up "married" to each other. This is backed up by reports that Cedric buried Goliath somewhere in secret so it can't be found.

    "And I'm nowhere near the place. You sent me here to breathe. But I'm drawing closer to the present. And I'll find a space with no memories. I've got a second chance to inhabit the living." This one is pretty literal. A space with no memories is the exact opposite of Goliath, which is a big collection of memories. The band has a second chance to inhabit the living, instead of constantly talking to the past.

    "All of this time, bedsore containment. Where am I now that the music has faded?" Either Cedric falling out of love with Goliath (hence the conjugal burns), or Goliath admitting that its been using the band and now distraught because they've left it behind.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
