Between Angels And Insects

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my obsession
I just want to be heard, loud and clear are my words
Coming from within man, tell 'em what you heard
It's about a revolution, in your heart and in your mind
You can find a conclusion, lifestyle and obsession
And your pocketbooks stressin'
You're a slave to the system, workin' jobs that you hate
For that shit you don't need
It's too bad the world is based on greed
Step back and see
Stop thinkin' 'bout yourself, start thinking' about
There's no money, there's no possession
Only obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession
I don't need that
'Cause everything is nothing
And emptiness isn't everything
This reality is really just a fucked up dream
With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul
Flip it inside out, it's a big black hole
Take your money burn it up like an asteroid
Possessions, they are never gonna fill the void
Take it away and learn the best lesson
The heart, the soul, the life, the passion
There's no money, there's no possession
Only obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my possessions, take my obsession
I don't need that shit
Money, possession, obsession
Present yourself, press your clothes
Comb your hair, clock in
You just can't win, just can't win
And the things you own, own you
No!
Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession
I don't need that shit
Fuck your money, fuck your possession
Fuck your obsession, I don't need that shit
Money, possession, obsession
I don't need that shit
The song "Between Angels And Insects" by Papa Roach is a critique of the materialistic culture that values possessions and money over everything else. Throughout the song, the lyrics highlight that obsession with material things is pointless and that true fulfillment comes from pursuing one's passions and living a meaningful life. The opening lines, "There's no money, there's no possessions, Only obsession, I don't need that shit," emphasize that the band members' focus is on something deeper than material goods.
The band's message is that people should be less concerned with accumulating wealth and possessions and more concerned with finding meaning in their lives. The lyrics implore listeners to stop being slaves to the system and to think about something more significant than themselves. "Stop thinking about yourself, start thinking about..." the singer trails off, suggesting that listeners should fill in the blank with what is most important to them.
Ultimately, the song is a call for a revolution, not just in society but also in individuals' hearts and minds, as they strive to live a life that's fulfilling and not dictated by societal expectations or material pressures.

@Lunchboxdx
i remember mixing this song in Soundforge, at my buddies house, because only his computer was good enough to run the program
indulge me a little
@ 2:30 i mixed in the audio line "set yourself, comb your hair, tuck inn..." then following the same 2:40
memories, good ones, even if it doesn't make sense, i'm glad you guys read this
in other words, i have a version of this song that literally only exists in my head (which is a good thing honestly) but yeah, i think we all have songs that were altered and was considered special despite that version being bad or different, and literally not heard but by some of your closest neighborhood buddies ...not that they liked my edited version, its the simple fact of them hearing it and validating it..........

@codyking4848
Used to listen to this walking between classes in high school. I'm now 37, and now i listen to it driving between home and work. It still gives me goosebumps. The years in between have only provided me clarity on WHY it gives me goosebumps. Rock on. 🤘
@ultimatepicks
