The Sign, Ace of Base
No one's gonna drag you up to the light where you belong.
Eye in the Sky, Alan Parson's Project
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools. The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing.
Don't Fear the Reaper, Blue Oyster Cult
All our times have come. Here, but now there, gone .Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain.
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain.
The Way, Fastball
An exit to eternal summer slacking , But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold,They'll never get hungry,They'll never get old and gray
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold,They'll never get hungry,They'll never get old and gray
Freewill, Rush
There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance
A planet of play things Of powers we cannot perceive [archons]
Or the gods are malign...' [archons]
Blame is better to give than receive
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear I will choose freewill
There are those who think That they were dealt a losing hand [fate, predestination]
The cards were stacked against them
All preordained A prisoner in chains [the soul in the material world]
A victim of venomous fate Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place In heaven's unearthly estate
Each of us A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance
A planet of play things Of powers we cannot perceive [archons]

I'm Only Human, Human League
I'm only human Of flesh and blood. I'm made Human. Born to make mistakes. I am just a man
Radioactive, Imagine Dragons
I'm waking up to ash and dust
[Waking up is technical jargon for enlightenment. Ash and dust allude to mortality. Dust relates to Adam's punishment]
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
[Adam's punishment is alluded to in this line]
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in, shaping up, checking out on the prison bus
[Doing worldly activities."Checking out" is a euphemism for dying. The world is a prison.]
This is it, the apocalypse, whoa
[Apocalypse is a revelation or a revealing. What is being revealed in this song?]
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age,Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive,Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
All systems go, sun hasn't died Deep in my bones, straight from inside

One of Us, Joan Osborne
What if God was one of us...Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home...Back up to heaven all alone
And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good ,yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
NB-The lackluster "yeah, yeah, God is great.." is more mocking than laudatory.

I Know You're Out There Somewhere, Moody Blues
I know you're out there somewhere, Somewhere, somewhere
I know I'll find you somehow,Somehow, somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The secret of your beauty,And the mystery of your soul
I've been searching for in everyone I meet,And the times I've been mistaken
It's impossible to say
From the words that I remember,From my childhood still are true
That there's no so blind,As those who will not see
And to those who lack the courage,And say it's dangerous to try
Well they just don't know,That love eternal will not be denied
Yes I know it's going to happen, I can feel you getting near
And soon we'll be returning, To the fountain of our youth
And if you wake up wondering, In the darkness I'll be there
My arms will close around you, And protect you with the truth
I know I'll find you somehow,Somehow, somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The secret of your beauty,And the mystery of your soul
I've been searching for in everyone I meet,And the times I've been mistaken
It's impossible to say
From the words that I remember,From my childhood still are true
That there's no so blind,As those who will not see
And to those who lack the courage,And say it's dangerous to try
Well they just don't know,That love eternal will not be denied
Yes I know it's going to happen, I can feel you getting near
And soon we'll be returning, To the fountain of our youth
And if you wake up wondering, In the darkness I'll be there
My arms will close around you, And protect you with the truth
All The Way, New Order
They'd burn me if they can,But I don't give a damn about
What those people say They pick you up and kick you out
They hurt you every day It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
What those people say They pick you up and kick you out
They hurt you every day It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done To find the truth inside yourself

Round and Round, New Order
The picture you see is no portrait of me. I am weak while you are strong.

Magic, Olivia Newton John
You should know me. I've always been in your mind. I'll be guiding you. I'll come anytime you call. Your destiny will arrive.

Send Me an Angel, Real Life
Do you believe in heaven above?Do you believe in love?
Don't tell a lie, don't be false or untrue It all comes back to you
I can't survive on my own Everyday we've all been led astray
It's hard to be lucky in love You're looking for love
Calling heaven above Empty dreams can only disappoint
But don't give up, don't give up
(give up, give up, give up)
Don't tell a lie, don't be false or untrue It all comes back to you
I can't survive on my own Everyday we've all been led astray
It's hard to be lucky in love You're looking for love

But don't give up, don't give up
(give up, give up, give up)
I Won't Back Down, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
Material Girl, Madonna
Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me, I think they're O.K.
If they don't give me proper credit, I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead, But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash, Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are
Living in a material world, And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world, And I am a material girl
Some boys romance, some boys slow dance, That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest then I Have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys lie but I don't let them play
Only boys who save their pennies Make my rainy day, 'cause they are
Living in a material world (material)Living in a material world
Boys may come and boys may go And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich And now they're after me,[Sophia] 'cause everybody's
A material, a material, a material, a material world [repeated four times representing the four elements of creation]
