This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We we're blind and we couldn't conceive the color of blood
This crimson flood soaking the ground
We stare in shock as the world unveils its true features to us
You then exclaim "where is God now?"
You ask me "why do we forever feed on pain
And act like mindless fiends programmed for boundless rage?
The carnage never cease, the poison is never drained
For this, should we blame the maker of everything divine?"
The virtuous dies as well as the sinful one
Death strikes all life, blind in its random ways
In essence, we contradict the conception of a watchful shaper
And still we consider being observed and closely monitored
Primitive we remain
We were devised to enjoy trials
The choice has never been ours
We are inclined to violence
You ask me "why do we forever feed on pain
And act like mindless fiends programmed for boundless rage?
The carnage never cease, the poison is never drained
For this, should we blame the maker of everything divine?"
You ask me "why do we forever feed on pain(forever feed on pain)
And act like mindless fiends programmed for boundless rage?(Programmed for boundless rage)
The carnage never cease, the poison is never drained(The poison is never drained)
For this, should we blame the maker of everything divine?"(Divine)
This crimson flood soaking the ground
We stare in shock as the world unveils its true features to us
You then exclaim "where is God now?"
You ask me "why do we forever feed on pain
And act like mindless fiends programmed for boundless rage?
The carnage never cease, the poison is never drained
For this, should we blame the maker of everything divine?"
The virtuous dies as well as the sinful one
Death strikes all life, blind in its random ways
In essence, we contradict the conception of a watchful shaper
And still we consider being observed and closely monitored
Primitive we remain
We were devised to enjoy trials
The choice has never been ours
We are inclined to violence
You ask me "why do we forever feed on pain
And act like mindless fiends programmed for boundless rage?
The carnage never cease, the poison is never drained
For this, should we blame the maker of everything divine?"
You ask me "why do we forever feed on pain(forever feed on pain)
And act like mindless fiends programmed for boundless rage?(Programmed for boundless rage)
The carnage never cease, the poison is never drained(The poison is never drained)
For this, should we blame the maker of everything divine?"(Divine)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Humans are inherently evil - predisposed to violence, "mindlessly programmed for boundless rage". Are we just dancing to our DNA? Which would certainly be the case if you believe in the scientific worldview - we're just the product of time plus matter plus chance. We evolved to be evil - we grew to distrust each other and to declare war on our kin for greed and personal gain.
Or were we deliberately designed this way, by a "watchful shaper"?
The lyrics of the song are more ambiguous than you'd think. But the title of the song suggests that Benjamin is leaning towards the latter. But he still poses the topic as a question, rather than making a statement: "SHOULD we blame the maker of everything divine?"
It's up to you to draw that conclusion.
However let me say this: If God is an automaton, and we're created in His image, we too are ALSO automatons - we are not free, we are totally determined to be evil and behave like "mindless fiends" as Benjamin puts it. But if we're totally determined as automatons, and we're pre-wired to think and behave the way that we do - we are merely computers: data in, evil response out.
But we have to ask ourselves: was Sybreed FREE to write this song? Was Benjamin FREE to compose these lyrics, out of his own volition? Are we, his audience, FREE to listen to this song, and enjoy it for it's marvellousness?
If so, we are rising above the bondage of total subjectivity. And the moment you do this, you're violating determinism.
...We're evil because we WANT TO BE.
