Controversy
Twiztid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spoon feed me controversy
They fill my head with thoughts
Until they hear us beg for mercy
Because they want me to die
Believe in all their lies
But I see it in their eyes
They're just as evil as this planet
Shit blood, spit with the wicked
Never in the mood to kick it, I'm an asshole
I've been prescripted and prescribed
And probably until I die
And offered the little pills to keep me high on
Looking for Zion lost in space
And that's the only place that really feels safe
The government's chasing me to go and fight in some war
And I can't front I don't have a clue what they're fightin' for
Lies galore from Lincoln to Al Gore
Now we hide under a Bush and I can't take it anymore
I want to try to find a way to understand
Besides the good weed what the fuck's in Afghanistan
Can't trust em, judge said it best
But I'ma take it til I finally rest
Now I got an X on my head like I'm supposed to fear em
I'm just a target but bitch I'm still here
[Chorus]
They got this plan to hurt me
Spoon feed me controversy
They fill my head with thoughts
Until they hear us beg for mercy
Because they want me to die
Believe in all their lies
But I see it in their eyes
They're just as evil as this planet
Discover the secrets behind the magical realm
Look in the sky, clouds are the stitches of time
The visual evolution of the after glow
You have to know there's more to a hero then a thunderbolt
Will it strike in the same place same time
Blowin' off appendages like land mines Behind the disguise lies the dead and evil vital stats
Border-line maniacs and aristocrats
Prognosticators foretelling the outcome
Environmental movement up rise the sun
Cataclysmic anomaly will mutate the family
With radiation sickness recordin' our photography
Time Life magazine interview with Nostradamus
Written in quad trains and dark days are upon us
Bein' honest had a feelin' it would come to pass
But in '79 the ozone started to crack and we're still here
[Chorus]
And with the atmospheric pressure, see the insects swarming
Ninety degrees in winter time global warming
And the asteroids keep falling, from outer space
Is it alien life forms trying to communicate?
Better rope off the area and quarantine the flock
Vaccinate for chemical SARS and chicken pox
Everybody is infected as the panic sets in
And the President's on every channel answering questions
Anticipated, like a UFO
And everybody's standin hill side waiting to go
And for all that we know we coulda just been sold
By the government to aliens for God only knows
I can't help it that I'm thinking like this
If I can think it, it can happen
And I can think of some crazy shit
I'm tryna keep it controlled I'm goin' outta my skull
All I can do is sit and watch it unfold
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
In Twiztid's song Controversy, the lyrics speak to the idea that there is a larger, sinister plan to manipulate and control people through misinformation and propaganda. They suggest that the government is actively pushing controversial issues to the forefront to distract individuals from the larger issues at hand, ultimately leading to an environment of chaos and confusion. The lyrics cite the government's involvement in wars, climate change, and even a potential connection to extraterrestrial life. The chorus of the song echoes the sentiment of being surrounded by evil forces that want to destroy everything good.
The verses of the song continue to express these themes in different ways. The use of drugs and medication as a means of suppression and control is mentioned, as well as the idea of feeling lost and searching for a safe place amidst the chaos. The lyrics also touch on themes of conspiracy, with references to Nostradamus and the idea that the government may be hiding a connection to alien life.
Overall, Controversy is a thought-provoking song that speaks to modern issues of manipulation and deception in society, and the struggle to find truth in a world that seems determined to hide it.
