Taken by the benumbed hands of an overthrowing fabricated God
Sadism is fashioned to derive pleasurable
And gratifying entertainment among indoctrinated soldiers
Sexually abusive torture is diminished to mere wretched amusement

Ordered to fragment the sanity of the prisoners
Of an artificial war against a country of dystopia
The blameless are left in complete shackled isolation
Left to linger and ultimately wither and rot

Fraudulent peacemakers withdraw any sense of morality
To plant the seeds of their own sadistic conceptions
This fabricated God reduces man to nothing more than a pile of waste

With his power he banishes his followers
And sentences them to his own personal sins
He masturbates on the scriptures
That hold his kingdom together as one and lays it to shame
Taken by the benumbed hands of an overthrowing fabricated God

Sadism is fashioned to derive pleasurable
And gratifying entertainment among indoctrinated soldiers
Sexually abusive torture is diminished to mere wretched amusement
Ordered to fragment the sanity of the prisoners
Of an artificial war against a country of dystopia

With his power he banishes his followers
And sentences them to his own personal sins
He masturbates on the scriptures
That hold his kingdom together as one and lays it to shame

The fabricated God reduces man to nothing more than a pile of waste

Holiday

@[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.

Silent Planet
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
