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.
Horses getting wiser with age
They're in a rage
'Cause they realized they've been underpaid
They're gonna start talking soon
Along with the apes and the gray baboons
The birds eyeing you with stern regard
Mosquitoes driven mad by the lust for blood
Lose all precaution in this bloodied frenzy
Parasites they got no love for me
I swat them down before the come for me
Mosquitoes swarm many so many
And many many more have left this world
Swept away by my palm
Feed to the fish that swim in the pond
It's a parasite
Watch your back
A parasite is no the attack
Watch your back
A parasite ain't gonna' hold I back
Watch your back
A parasite is on the attack
So what you want to say about
Critics and their critical minds
I just love the way they find the time to criticize
Yeah they don't do nothing themselves
They sit their fat ass on the motherfucking shelf
They say that money is the root of all evil
Seems like there's no way to put out the hellfire
There ain't enough for all people
So stick 'em up Babylon stick 'em up
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before you realize you've already paid the cost
Blood sucker mother suckers
Fucking up enough is enough
Every trip of politicians I shed a tear
Too many in the bucket of stolen music that I hear
Let me make it clear
Talking about the soul snatching
But they don't want to share
They just result to whip cracking
See I know everybody's gotta live bro
Give a little take a little is my motto
You see the doggie has its fleas
But for the fleas he has no need
But the fleas don't give a damn
All they want to do is feed
If it wasn't for the dog, they would starve
They say a parasite ain't got a heart
It's a flea eat a dog world
Watch your back
A parasite is on the attack
Watch your back
A parasite ain't gonna hold back
Watch your back
A parasite is on the attack
And all the politicians say is blah blah blah
And all the critics have to say is blah blah blah
The judge and the jury say blah blah blah
They just freakin' my mind with this blah blah blah
The man running for the president say
What you want to hear
But when he gets elected he turns the other ear
The oldest game in the book put the one man down
Credibility is gone long gone
Yo the words were wrong
They don't hatch with the actions
Where are the leaders to get the
Motherfucking peoples reaction
Where are the real men to guide all the people
Bring us down to get wealthily for themselves
No that ain't the goal
The inner site of the inner mind
I'm busy walking the line
I got no time to put the other man down
While I'm making my rounds
I go from town to town
And bringing everybody up not down
I keep a smile on my face
And I praise amazing grace
And every day I tie my laces
So I don't trip, slip, fall, stumble, stagger
I ain't gonna get hit man
I'll stab you with this dagger
And If you try to get me down
I'm gonna get back up
That's why I gotta say you suck my blood
It's a parasite
Watch your back
A parasite is on the attack
Watch your back
A parasite ain't gonna hold back
Watch your back
A parasite is on the attack
And all the politicians say is blah blah blah
And al the critics have to say is blah blah blah
The judge and the jury say blah blah blah
They just freakin' my mind with this blah blah blah
My baby momma she is coming with blah blah blah
The police they be trippin' with blah blah blah
The radio they be playing that blah blah blah
They freaking my mind with that blah blah blah
They're in a rage
'Cause they realized they've been underpaid

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.
I got no time to put the other man down While I�m making my rounds I go from town to town And bringing everybody up not down
