They say believeing is what we see
Though faith we sell
You want reward beyond where you lay
Look where we tell
Have you been searching for an answer
To what you hide?
Well keep your soul and your devotion
In us confide

Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult
We are the friend you can trust in now
We are your grace
Nobody else will dare question us
This power saves
You haven't seen beyond the real world
We'll take you there
But not before we hear you confess
And say our prayers

Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult

We can deliver you
Four winds come into view
Breathe deep of our beliefs
The cult knows you'll never leave

Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult

    No offense to anyone, but I take this song to be about Christianity.

    "They say believing is what we see though faith we sell You want reward beyond where you lay? Look where we tell"

    They are saying that it is funny how people use the term "I'll believe it when I see it", though many are dead set on the idea of a God who has never showed himself existing. The people who worship this "God" believe that they will live in an eternal life of bliss after they leave this earthly realm. Thats the main jist of the first verse from what I gather, and the first 4 lines say it all.

    " We are the friend you can trust in now We are your grace Nobody else will dare question us This power saves You haven't seen beyond the real world We'll take you there But not before we hear you confess And say our prayers"

    The first 4 lines of this states how many Christian religions believe that their way is right, and anyone who believes differently is sadly mistaken. The second part is essentially saying "You will go to heaven, but you must confess all your wrong doings and pray to the same God as we do and worship him, or you will go to an undesirable place."

    That is ultimately what that verse is saying. It's a mockery.

    "We can deliver you Four winds come into view Breathe deep of our beliefs The cult knows you'll never leave"

    This is saying that a church and it's memebers can assure you are free of sin, but you must kiss their asses in order for that to happen. Fall into their beliefs, practice their prayers, they praise, their chiors, and you will be sent to heaven. They know that any gullible human being will subscribe to this and live in fear of ever leaving their beliefs, believing that if they don't, they will they will burn for eternity.

    This theory of this song' meaning is kind of confirmed by the next song, "Eternal Empire".

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
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.
