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.

We gettin smoke out fo real!
[Chorus Daddy X 2x]
OOooh Skunk One's in the chamber (Skunk One Skunk One)
It's the mind re-arranger (Skunk One Skunk One)
Its the make a friend a stranger
Spin me changer
Me record changer
[DADDY X]
Ooh, Ah, Achika
Pakelika's sparked the blunt in the back of the car
We rollin 5 deep to the neighborhood bar
Cars fishbowled now, we didn't get far
See red lights flash, cops know who we are
reputation built, superstar bud smokers
Coppers hittin' quotas for pullin us over
Once again, let the routine kick in
Stash in the dash let the games begin
Piggy wattles over with that shitty grin
But I'm, cool as (?hurt?) I ain't scared of him
Infact, I laugh, cause Pak's still smokin
Cop came up fast tapped the glass but it's broken
Grabbed the handle quick and the door flies open
Smoke bursts out
"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS SMOKING?"
"Skunk One is what we tokin!"
[Chorus Daddy X 2x]
OOooh Skunk One's in the chamber (Skunk One Skunk One)
It's the mind re-arranger (Skunk One Skunk One)

[LOC]
Gotta get some weed I was runnin out quick.
I had a couple of rips left a little that was it.
My sack was getting low, had a little bit a dough.
Need to go see my bro so I can get some more.
Straight indica purple that I got from 33rd.
Gave me couple a pills and a DragonWorks shirt.
got a new bong, packed it up and hit it.
"You like it D-Loc?"
I said "Yeah I'm with it."
Then I went to the store, grabbed a pack of blunts.
Went back to my house and I rolled em up.
Sat on my couch, drank a beer, and got stoned.
Called this bitch on the phone that I really want to bone.
Now I'm all blown and I'm staring at the ceiling.
The fans going 'round and 'round I'm just 'illin.
Smoked so much izzie that it got me chillin.
Ya'll know the name (D-Loc!) Ya'll know the feelin (D-Loc!)
[Chorus Daddy X 2x]
OOooh Skunk One's in the chamber (Skunk One Skunk One)

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
