Noga Erez Lyrics

Try to take 'em and make them sing along
You are attempting to influence people to follow you and your actions.

And while you grab 'em, make them feel at home
You are trying to create a sense of comfort and familiarity with those you are trying to control.

You're probably keeping a pocket full of change
You are likely trying to use money or other forms of compensation to manipulate those you are trying to control.

Coins are flipping, no decisions made
Your manipulative tactics lack substance and are based on chance, rather than thoughtful decision making.

It makes you horny, their widely open throats
Your control over others gives you a sense of power and arousal, especially when they are willing to follow you without question.

Waiting to be fed with whatever you may serve
Those who follow you are eager to receive your guidance and will accept your words and actions without much thought or resistance.

But with me, it's so hard to be
The singer is not easily manipulated and does not succumb to the same tactics as others.

Nothing gets you better than a cold, cold shaking ground
The artist is not swayed by empty promises or manipulations, and instead relies on a sense of groundedness and stability to stay true to themselves.

Waking me, get you wide awake, wake, wake now
Attempting to control the artist actually has the opposite effect, and instead wakes them up to the manipulations and tactics being employed.

You try to tame them and make them all yours
You want to exert complete control over those you are trying to influence, and are willing to go to great lengths to do so.

And now the stomach is craving for some more
Your desire for control and power is insatiable, and you are constantly seeking out new ways to influence and manipulate others.

Your body's sucked in this bottomless hole
Your attempts to control others are never enough, and you are always seeking out new ways to exert your power and influence.

The beast is sated, enough of their love
Once you have achieved the level of control you desire, you no longer see those you have manipulated as individuals to be cared for, but rather as objects to be used and discarded.

While we waste away
The singer sees the negative consequences of giving in to manipulative tactics, and realizes that it ultimately leads to a lack of substance and purpose in life.

Nothing gives you cover when it won't stop fading out
When the manipulative tactics fail to produce results, you are left without a sense of direction or purpose.

Green screen, great letter, white, white, white noise
The distractions and manipulations employed by those seeking control are ultimately empty and meaningless, and do not provide any real value or purpose.

With me, so hard to be
The artist continues to resist manipulations and is difficult to control, due to their strong sense of identity and groundedness.

Nothing gets you better than a cold, cold shaking ground
The singer relies on a sense of stability and reason to identify and reject manipulative tactics, rather than being swayed by empty promises or false hope.

Waking me, get you wide awake, wake, wake now
Attempts to control the singer actually have the opposite effect, serving to wake them up to the manipulations going on around them.
