False Prophecy

Abney Park

I reached from the darkness
I saw the day
And now I'm awake
And in my darkness
I found the way
To transcend my fate
I took a step toward the light of day
I took a step toward the light of day

I fled the darkness of broken fates
And took apart my faith
I fucking hate this
Self-serving cage
Of artificial rage
I have lifted more to their masquerade
I have lifted more to their masquerade

Following the same false prophecy
Modeling impossible destinies
I will bring my whole life's energies
Towards the path least apt for synergy

Following the same false prophecy
Modeling impossible destinies
I will bring my whole life's energies
Towards the path least apt for synergy

I reached from the darkness
I saw the day
And now I'm awake
And in my darkness
I found the way
To transcend my fate
I took a step toward the light of day
I took a step toward the light of day

I fled the darkness of broken fates
And took apart my faith
I fucking hate this
Self-serving cage
Of artificial rage
I have lifted more to their masquerade
I have lifted more to their masquerade

Following the same false prophecy
Modeling impossible destinies
I will bring my whole life's energies
Towards the path least apt for synergy

Following the same false prophecy
Modeling impossible destinies
I will bring my whole life's energies
Towards the path least apt for synergy

Following the same false prophecy
Modeling impossible destinies
I will bring my whole life's energies
Towards the path least apt for synergy

Following the same false prophecy
Modeling impossible destinies
I will bring my whole life's energies
Towards the path least apt for synergy

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.

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.
