Wake up, I wipe the sleepers from my eye
Looked up / I see / it's two thirty-five
Get up, I thought I'd sleep from ten 'till two
Out in the cold, I start my day with you

They call themselves the purple kool-aid cult
They lost their head, and claim it's all my fault
I'm fed for kool-aid intravenously
I must regain my own autonomy

The purple kool-aid cult's back, I'm paranoid again
Would someone please appease all the stress of mind?

Sorry friend there's no way I could stay
Wish I could explain the reason why
I'm being chased so please pardon my haste
Please appease the stress of my brown head

They turned their backs and I began to run
Looked back a flash and I began to shout
I've got to find a passage out of here
I'm not too certain that the futures clear

And now I'm alone too / but I'm aware
?????? and sits upon a skinny chair
They're gathering now around a sugar throne
It's red and round and speaks of miracles

The purple kool-aid cult's back, I'm paranoid again
Would someone please appease all the stress of mind?

He said he's going to be up in your mouth
Weird ritual for you and I to mate
I see a glow but I now see astray
I pick up a furious pace so I can get away

Big ol' smile, a purple pleasure hangs the cape
Oh me, oh my it was the great escape
The situation is still to me a bit of a scandal
Everytime I see a purple smile within my underwear

The purple kool-aid cult's back, I'm paranoid again
Would someone please appease all the stress of mind?

Sorry friend there's no way I could stay
Wish I could explain the reason why
I'm being chased so please pardon my haste
Please appease the stress of my brown head

Four years and twenty days float on by
Carried out that silicone and taste is left behind
I'm going next door to celebrate I say
And I think that this kool aid
Is the punch that got me drunk today

Next thing I know I'm standing on a chair
Whipping my arms around the friendly air
I preached the words a thousand years ago
I now surrender to the certain glow

The purple kool-aid cult's back, I'm paranoid again
Would someone please appease all the stress of mind?

Sorry friend there's no way I could stay
Wish I could explain the reason why
I'm being chased so please pardon my haste
Please appease the stress of my brown head

I'm being chased by seven kids high on Kool-Aid
But then they're not crazy cause they're high on Kool-Aid
But then they're not crazy they're still high on Kool-Aid

    Since nobody actually knows the full lyrics I decided to make an interpretation of what I think the missing lyrics are, but unfortunately I don't know what the song means even though it's probably really obvious and I'm just stupid.

    Wake up, I wipe the sleepers from my eye Looked up, I seen it's two thirty-five Get up, I thought I'd sleep until ten to Up in the cold, to start the day with you

    They call themselfs the purple kool-aid cult They lost their head, I claim it's all my fault I'm fed for kool-aid intravenously I must regain my own autonomy

    They turned their backs and I began to run Looked back a flash and I began to shout I've got to find a passage outta here I'm not too certain that the futures clear

    And now I'm a loner too, a type to ware (not sure on this) Don't know how just set upon their skinny chair They're gathering now around a sugar throne It's red and round and speaks of miracles

Dreamwalker
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.

Mountain Song
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
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
