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.
Through my heart
Through my heart
Through my heart
Through my heart
As I watched those buildings fall
Saw the writing on the wall
In the underground the prophets spoke of triggers for a war
They’d been leaking out a plan
A new world order, understand?
And I stood there feeling like someone had planned it years before
Years before
Years before
Eerie theory, fact or theory
I see the game they're playing way down town, open ground
Feeling like it's going to bring you down
Eerie theory, fact or theory
I see the game they're playing way down town, open ground
Feeling like it's going to bring us down
Through my heart
Through my heart
Through my heart
Through my heart
Lusitania had to go
Stage was set to start the show
And I heard the sound of Alice chasing rabbits down a hole
Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam
Yes Franklin knew about Japan
And they're laughing as they use us all to build they’re Babylon
Eerie theory, fact or theory
I see the game they're playing way downtown, open ground
Feeling like it's going to bring you down
Eerie theory, fact or theory
I see the game they're playing way downtown, open ground
Feeling like it's going to bring you down
They use us, they use us all
Laughing as we fall
Laughing as we fall
Laughing as we fall
Laughing as
Killing our heroes
My home town's breaking down
But I'm holding out
All that's certain - I am still alive
My home town's breaking down
But I'm holding out
All that's certain - I am still alive
My home town's breaking down
But I'm holding out
All that's certain - I am still alive
People!
Stand out!
Stand out!
Alright!
Eeyay!
What's left when we look around?
What’s left when we’re looking,
the pot and the cook, the people, the violence, the more that you look around
(Do not follow if you can, When they lead us to violence)
What's left when we look around?
I stood back and observed the crowd
I saw voodoo and violence down to a science
Gurus and mind control
What's left when we look around?
I stood back and observed the crowd
I saw voodoo and violence down to a science
Gurus and mind control
My home town's breaking down
But I'm holding out
All that's certain - I am still alive
My home town's breaking down
But I'm holding out
All that's certain - I am still alive
(Babylon,
the movies on,
oh what a con,
King Solomon,
And Babylon is here again,
the movies on,
this neocon tapestry,
The sun and moon,
A pentagram monastery)
At the end of the day I know,
That we work all our lives to pay for a cage they own
It ain't no coincidence that the whole world is caught in an endless debt
At the end of the day I know
That we work all our lives to pay for a cage they own
The violence,
Illusion they're using to rule us, building their Babylon
Through my heart
Through my heart
Through my heart
As I watched those buildings fall
Saw the writing on the wall
In the underground the prophets spoke of triggers for a war
They’d been leaking out a plan
A new world order, understand?
And I stood there feeling like someone had planned it years before
Years before

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Yes, almost this whole album is about the NWO (as well as all their albums/EP's having references. Think silence is violence for one). It really is about time the general population woke up. We have enough to give everyone on this planet food and shelter, despite what they say, and that's the only way for humans to go forward. If anyone wants to know what's really going on stop reading mainstream media and start searching further, even though it's starting to creep into mainstream media it will be manipulated as best they can (members of the Bilderberg group and even the Pope have stated it's 'now' time for a NWO on Fox news and large press papers..). Zeitgeist, loose change, Obama deception, War Made Easy and The World According to Monsanto (VERY important doco in regards to GMO's, Monsanto makes over 90% of GMO's and is working with Oxfam, Gates, Rockefeller etc in the takeover of Africa for natural resources) are starts. Michael Moore though I can see people thinking of him as a douche is spot on, Capitalism was again right. What the bleep do we know is an interesting doc too. The book creature from Jekyll Island covers the Bilderberg group, Shock Doctrine is another good read. There's plenty out there. Anyone with an open mind I suggest reading The Mayan Code by Barbara Hand Clow, it virtually explains all history and the important 'why'. Sites such as abovetopsecret, infowars, conspiracyplanet etc have plenty of info. For those who smoke marijuana (as I'm sure plenty of people who listen to Cog do :) ) check out the Docos The Union and Grass. Once you start putting all of the pieces of the puzzle together the bigger questions finally start making sense. Forget your religion, they're all fake and almost all the same, you the individual is creation and God, and once humans start to worship themselves for what is right the human race will move forward, if we do. Thank God for COG. I would actual go into points about these lyrics but it's pretty self explanatory I think.
