Embrace the Martian

Kid Cudi

Yeah
When you meet me, when you see me
You know how to holla
You know who I am

Ix-nay on the bullshit, man
When I roll back to Cleveland, I can't believe them
Sounds of the non-believers
Outcast 'til I'm in dirt before it did hurt
Now I can overstand how you could dismiss or front on
Ask me how I feel about the ones with closed eyes
My words how I feel exactly are, "Fuck that"
I don't give a damn 'bout nan one hater talking down
Don't be afraid at all, y'all
All I ask of all y'all is to please

Embrace the martian, embrace the martian
I come in peace but I need y'all rockin' with me
Please, embrace the martian
And this is how it sounds

See I must tell you all now
Keep on acting funny, cool with me
I am here to change that
How you're thinking often and it's startin'
I am here to show you how it feels to be new
Look at what I made you, guide to teach you
Honest but insecure, cool, and you are fooled
By the heavy-heavy amounts of
Malarkey mixed with garbage, I am it, dawg
Don't be afraid at all, y'all
All I ask of all y'all is to please

Embrace the martian, embrace the martian
I come in peace but I need y'all rockin' with me
Please, embrace the martian
And this is how it sounds

Embrace the martian, embrace the martian
I come in peace but I need y'all rockin' with me
Please, embrace the martian

License to ill
I promise I won't turn the whole world to Cloverfield
On the real, yeah, I will
I'll destroy it and then rebuild just for thrills
Sometimes you got to do it
Sometimes you show the tough love
No one is above
What you are hearing now, dude
No matter who else included, I'm saluted
I'm saluted (yeah)
No matter who else included, I'm saluted (yeah, yeah)
I'm saluted

Oh
Whether you appeal or not
This is the real
Real recognize real
You
You are me
Like it or not and I
I am you
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Embrace the martian, embrace the martian
I come in peace but I need y'all rockin' with me
Please, embrace the martian
And this is how it sounds

Embrace the martian, embrace the martian
I come in peace but I need y'all rockin' with me
Please, embrace the martian
And this is how it sounds

Ooh, ooh
And this is how it sounds
In my mind, ooh
Hm (Plain Pat, what up?)

    yo it's sayin that he goes back to cleveland and there are still nonbelievers (who aren't his fans) and he's saying 'i might be weird, but i'm a pothead just like you'. so he saying 'they may not know me because i'm a martian, but i still smoke weed and chill and do fun shit just like you/they do.'

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
