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.
Life ain't a fairy tale
We try to dream
Only can dream so well
Capitalize on the good
Until we lose our eyes
What is, what the fuck should
Half done, half seeing the demise
Pent up, done up, come back
Just to talk for and against the past
Have a pizza just to throw it down
As the sauce splatters the wall and
Bites me in the ass
If only I had a bite of that
My fault, it's gone it's done
Our stomach like brain is so fun
Try to tell ya where I'm coming from
Not as easy, emotions like everyone
Just a bit worse, not the worst
We want to grow more, but
We both hate the sun, what a curse
At least it's not a play to rehearse
Me and my jazz band make little sense
Not at all, with no alcohol, to a pretty princess
Where within that do you admit
If you're like me, on the outside is where you sit
Try to convey where I am
You already see me against the wall
Yet I know my margin of crap
It can fill up seven times a public stall
Writings on the side and back of us all
It matches the toilet bowl
A lot of shit within it
Deep down I think you see
It's you and me, not our fall
It'd be better if it was none
But so many still admire the mall
Changes; we crawl, walk, we crawl
Can we stand back up
Endeaver, get shot, live again
Die, then live forever
Bought new shoes and hoodies we'll treasure
If we got back the pizza
At least we'll feel it our our butt hole
Three to ten inch, what's the measure
We try to dream
Only can dream so well
Capitalize on the good
Until we lose our eyes
What is, what the fuck should
Half done, half seeing the demise
Pent up, done up, come back
Just to talk for and against the past
Have a pizza just to throw it down
As the sauce splatters the wall and
Bites me in the ass
If only I had a bite of that
My fault, it's gone it's done
Our stomach like brain is so fun
Try to tell ya where I'm coming from
Not as easy, emotions like everyone
Just a bit worse, not the worst
We want to grow more, but
We both hate the sun, what a curse
At least it's not a play to rehearse
Me and my jazz band make little sense
Not at all, with no alcohol, to a pretty princess
Where within that do you admit
If you're like me, on the outside is where you sit
Try to convey where I am
You already see me against the wall
Yet I know my margin of crap
It can fill up seven times a public stall
Writings on the side and back of us all
It matches the toilet bowl
A lot of shit within it
Deep down I think you see
It's you and me, not our fall
It'd be better if it was none
But so many still admire the mall
Changes; we crawl, walk, we crawl
Can we stand back up
Endeaver, get shot, live again
Die, then live forever
Bought new shoes and hoodies we'll treasure
If we got back the pizza
At least we'll feel it our our butt hole
Three to ten inch, what's the measure

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
