You can't sleep, you're restless
And slightly obsessed with falling too deep
And malfunction, you're a virus
Whose intention is fucking up something
You're a crater
On the face of a problem much greater
It's the violence or lack thereof control
Body and soul, digging a hole
Is the blood stainless?
Enjoy the pain with accepting the grief
Are you finished?
Dumb fucking question, don't let yourself fall asleep
Resurrect the intention
Once your vision is now mass-produced
Imagine the insults a blessing
Imagine accepting the truth

Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Just imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth

The pendulums swinging
Hypnosis is taking control, now you linger
On a shadow of doubt
Have you really figured what you're all about?
Don't trust your instincts
Just open the chamber where you keep those darkest regrets
All the things you've done wrong
Rebellious at heart all along
Is your leader a voice?
Somehow you've replaced all your gain with a debt
Now the payback's a bitch
Why owe your life to a bitch?
Absolutely pathetic
And regret it when told you are made of mistakes
Imagine the insult's a blessing
Imagine accepting the truth

Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth

Now speak to your leader
Now speak to your leader

Your Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name
Deliver us from evil, deliver us from evil
Your Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name
Deliver us from evil, deliver us from evil
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name
Deliver me from evil, deliver me from evil
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name
Deliver me from evil, deliver me from evil

Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth

    The people that hate Limp Bizkit hates them because they don't even know about the greatest songs they did, they just think about "rolling" or "my generation" which were hits created to appeal the mainstream, therefore the lyrics were kinda poor. But Limp Bizkit is way more than that, "build a bridge", "lean on me", "counterfeit", "underneath the gun", "the surrender", "let me down", just to name a few, listen to those lyrics and tell me LB sucks, but listen to them with a critic ear, not with the idea that its going to suck.

    Who cares if they were used to be labeled as "cool"? Who cares if their fan base were 14 year old kids? Who cares is some of their lyrics used to have no sense? I don't, I'm a loyal fan, I know they're far from being the best (musically speaking) but they've inspired me through the years and they keep inspiring me even nowadays. And nowadays I'm no longer that 14 year old boy, in fact I listen to bands that noone can argue they're not terrific (metallica, sonata arctica, blind guardian, stratovarius) and yet, I still love Limp Bizkit. Why? I don't know, I may be a "dumb limp bizkit fan". So be it.

    If they're able to inspire one person, just one person, then that means all their work wass worth it. That's the goal of an artist after all, right? Because if thats not an artist then what is it? A man prodigy who's able to create the greatest rythms, tunes and lyrics a common man could never create? OK, that could be an artist. But what about someone who's able to create a really deep connection between his creation and a person, even if its just one single person.

    So go ahead, say how much Limp Bizkit sucks and how Fred Durst is shit, you dont have to like it, but just don't find too weird the idea of someone still liking Limp Bizkit. Because what's really the difference between the best song from The Beatles and the worst song from Ashlee Simpson if they can both have the power to create the same deep feeling on different persons? We're not the ones to decide which music is good or bad, but to decide what's good for us.

    Just think about it.

    My Interpretation

    This is about having a past you are ashamed of, and trying to convince yourself it never happened. You keep asking yourself to face the truth but end up praying that nobody will find out.

    This song definitely rocks, which is surprising. It's off their upcoming album, "The Unquestionable Truth Pt. 1"

    Limp Bizkit thinks they're RATM and Durst thinks he is Zack de la Rocha, which is good, really fucking good. This is the best they have been in years. Haven't had time to look for the meaning but I guess it's about all the lies that are built up that some people refuse to see through. Or perhaps religions and wars based on them.

    I think this song is more political than general person to person truth....if tht makes sense. If you look at the rest of the album songs like The propaganda also aid this. it seems to say to me that 'the state' is lying to its people. like there are many cover ups in western society. anyone agree that this is about political figures lying??

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Magical
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.
Album art
Blue
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.
