This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
take a look in the mirror
reflections from a dying personality
lights up the room
feel cold sweat running from your neck
when denying you were part of a psycho's brain's picnic
feelings gone
wonder what went wrong?
this was supposed to be a ticket to a life
free from fear
a shattered dream a moral low
he sold your life he won't let go
how long did it take for you
to believe his words were true
he's not a new Christ born
described as Satan's spawn
the broken man will rise again inside your heart
you'll find the strength to beat the strain
deny your god he'll only feed you pain
he's insane
tell me why you still deny
your god demands you
his will is for you to die
his soul's addicted to rage
to sin to all the things that you fear from within
(I don't wanna die... it's just you know...
he took my life man...)
he put your fucking life in a bodybag
possessed your mind
make you act real bad
he takes control
finds the way to your dreams
you're the one he wishes dead
a shattered dream a moral low
he sold your life he won't let go
how long did it take for you
to believe his words were true
he's not a new Christ born
described as Satan's spawn
the broken man will rise again inside your heart
you'll find the strength to beat the strain
deny your god he'll only feed you pain
he's insane
he put your fucking life in a bodybag
possessed your mind
make you act real bad
he takes control
finds the way to your dreams
he put your fucking life in a bodybag
possessed your mind
make you act real bad
he takes control
finds the way to your dreams
reflections from a dying personality

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,

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.

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.
As it always is with hatesphere, the Theme is an everyday event, but the demonstration is insanely unique and new! The idea behind "Addicted Soul" revolves around both "deception" and "wrong belief"
take a look in the mirror reflections from a dying personality lights up the room feel cold sweat running from your neck when denying you were part of a psycho's brain's picnic feelings gone wonder what went wrong? this was supposed to be a ticket to a life free from fear
The first part of the lyrics talks about a confused and decaying soul, who as been deceived by a person or thought which wasn't investing to them, instead destructive and consuming. The meaning of "psycho's brain picnic" can vary from a "religion" to "an irresponsible friend's judgment".
a shattered dream a moral low he sold your life he won't let go how long did it take for you to believe his words were true he's not a new Christ born described as Satan's spawn
The second part is a one sided conversation between the music and the decaying soul in which Hatesphere questions the credibility of the consuming person or thought alongside with the folly of the addicted soul.
he put your fucking life in a bodybag possessed your mind make you act real bad he takes control finds the way to your dreams
you're the one he wishes dead
In this part of the lyrics Hatesphere talks about the ultimate truth about the story of the addicted soul. "Body bag" is a metaphor for all the restrictions and rules that has taken control after the soul had put its trust into the deceiver. The chains made by that person or belief which are pointed toward the destruction implies one thing: "You must die". The destructive intent is too keen that will haunt the addicted soul down to the level of its dreams and won't stop until the soul is consumed and dead.
the broken man will rise again inside your heart you'll find the strength to beat the strain deny your god he'll only feed you pain he's insane
There's still hope and Hatesphere says the only way left for addicted soul is to deny its god because he's insane and takes pleasure out of feeding pain to addicted souls he owns.
tell me why you still deny your god demands you his will is for you to die
in this part hatesphere is concerned with the addicted soul's misery and wonders how stupid and dubious it is.
his soul's addicted to rage to sin to all the things that you fear from within
Music goes on speaking about the terrible habits and addictions of the deceiver himself which are not in any sense divine, on the other hand quite cruel and malicious.
(I don't wanna die... it's just you know... he took my life man...)
Finally addicted soul starts speaking up and shows signs of understanding and hatred toward the "God". His words are weak and filled with doubt but the massage is intact. I don't wanna die. he took my life... in other words, I messed up and didn't want this to happen.
he put your fucking life in a bodybag possessed your mind make you act real bad he takes control finds the way to your dreams he put your fucking life in a bodybag possessed your mind make you act real bad he takes control finds the way to your dreams
and finally the last cautions and warnings to the addicted soul come. This part vividly demonstrates the effect of the god on the poor soul and implies that all the misery and doubts come from the very source that supposed to heal and save it. It's GOD.
