The music industry is lying to you
it is telling you that you are excited
and you ARE excited
and you ARE excited

Or rather you have confused excitement,
with the fear of missing out.
Which is understandable as these two feelings
are very closely related!

Focusing, as they do, on the heart and the groin
and ending in a bloody mess - pregnancy tests
and too little sleep.

Our survey says that shouting inanities
in a regional accent is valuable to culture -
look at Eastenders, Soccer AM,
or the queen's speech!

Our survey says paedophiles run the BBC
but look at the alternatives!
Drowning men, clutching at straws through
their bell-end helmets
Sad women, dreaming of being owned by them
Their children, eventual despoilers of high streets
clad head to toe in menstrual blood

Screaming sexual insults into bedroom mirrors
in the sad belief that it will empower them
And it will empower them!
And it will empower them!

At least that's what it says on my cereal packet.

That's what it says on my receipt from the apple store.

(Good lord!)

I cannot identify the bloodied bodies of my loved ones -
they were killed whilst watching a new television show
on the MTV network,
one where Kim Kardashian is chased through woodland
by a giant bear wearing a mask which carries the visage
of recently deceased film director Michael Winner.

The bear has apparently not qualified for a work place
pension and is angry with Daniel Day-Lewis for what he
perceives to be the relative lack of action in
'There Will Be Blood' ..., which he otherwise enjoyed
but found a little precious for his tastes.

Anyway, after twenty minutes of panicked running around
intercut with interviews with friends and other celebrities
the production team behind the show all simultaneously
come to the same horrifying conclusion -

They have wasted the precious gift of life which has been
given to them by science!
They start attacking themselves with the nearest available
objects, breaking off camera tripods to ram them bloodily
into each other's eyes, climbing up the highest branches
of trees to fall face down onto the pulsing earth
The whole time shrieking and screaming with the sudden,
primal vigour of lost souls who have forgotten language,
and seem intent on shouting their black hearts from
their grey ... Semi-erect chests.

They face the pigs
They face the pigs they were
They face the pigs
They face the pigs they were

Anyway, my family members, otherwise enjoying a
restful sunday afternoon spent basking in the
christian lie of a benevolent and loving god,
witness this horror through the prism of their television set
Concentrated howl of psychic and bloodie anguish which
has utterly enveloped the unlikely woodland scene is
transmitted directly into the heart of our living room ...

And it bursts from the screen
And into their eyes and their hearts
And their minds and their tits
And their bits

And it bursts from the screen
And into their eyes and their hearts
And their minds and their tits
And their bits

(I don't mind, why do you?)

And it bursts from the screen
And into their eyes and their hearts
And their minds and their tits
And their bits

(I don't mind, why do you?)

And it bursts from the screen
And into their eyes and their hearts
And their minds and their tits
And their bits

(I don't mind, why do you?)

And it bursts from the screen
And into their eyes and their hearts
And their minds and their tits
And their bits

(I don't mind, why do you?)

And it bursts from the screen
And into their eyes and their hearts
And their minds and their tits
And their bits

... Sobs. Echo. Off their foreheads.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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.
