Hordes of faces, empty eyes
I see nothing new
Seasoned schemes of slimy curs
Offer up their flu

Am I beast or am I human?
Am I just like you?
Power seething, really reeling
Reaching out for you

Am I demon? I need to know

Faces of a million hells rage inside these veins
Pounding out deserved pain to anyone in need

Am I beast or am I human?
Am I just like you?
Power seething, really reeling
Reaching out for you

Am I demon? I need to know
Am I demon? You need to know

Every world and every limb
Torn asunder bits
Everything I need is me, everything I am

Am I beast or am I human
Am I just like you
Power seething, really reeling
Reaching out for more

Am I demon? I need to know
Am I demon? You need to know
Am I demon? You need to know

I am, I am, I am

    Boy, I wish other people would comment on this song. I'm curious to see what people think.

    I could be wrong, but I think this is a good guess: I think the song could be as simple as him feeling like no matter what he does or how good a person he tries to be he always hurts the people around him. His insecurities make him feel like people are judging him and so he hates them for it. He wants to be around his friends because he doesn't want to be alone, but he always ends up feeling like poison to them, like an outsider. 'Damned if you do, Damned if you don't."

    Here's another possibility: I think the song is about him looking at the world around him and seeing people controlled mostly by the animal side of themselves. Our wars, greed and hate, all stem from that. So, no matter how hard people try, no one defeats that part of themselves. You can hope for humanity but nothing changes.

    'Hordes of faces, empty eyes I see nothing new Seasoned schemes of slimy curs Offer up their flu'

    I think he feels helpless because, even though he sees the way the world is and hates the world for being that way, he knows that he is guilty of the same crimes. So no matter what words of wisdom he has that could help the world, they always come out in judgement and anger and hinder him.

    'Faces of a million hells rage inside these veins Pounding out deserved pain to anyone in need'

    In the end he feels like humanity is evil as a species and gives up.

    'Am I demon? I need to know Am I demon? You need to know Am I demon? You need to know

    I am, I am, I am'

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.

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.

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.
