Atmosphere's "trying to find a balance" my new fav song but explain the lyrics..

[MC Sky]

this song is doper than dope.. its just doper.. lol slug comes mad emotional on this.. the voice sample at the beginning sends chills through your spine.. and the guitar on that song is brilliant.. thats songs flows so well.. its like ridding down a freeway while your high off drugs

the video is incredible also but one thing i dont get is most of his lyrics some of them dont make sense its like hes just tossing phrases out there.. would someone that is an atmosphere follower explain the following lines

[Slug]
They love the taste of blood
Now I don't know what that means, but I know that I mean it
Maybe they're as evil as they seem
Or maybe I only look out the window when it's scenic

what the hell is this supposed to mean? who loves the taste of blood and what the hell is her talking bout what does only lookin out the window when its scenic have to do with the reason their as evil as they seem?

God Bless America, but she stole the B from "Bless" (And kept it!)

?wtf

Now I'm too fucked up to dance
So I'ma sit with my hand down the front of my pants
You can't achieve your goals if you don't take that chance
So go pry open that trunk and get those amps (You know!)

what does getting amps have to do with someone takin a chance in things? lol

[Chorus x2]
In the days of Kings and Queens I was a jester
Treat me like a God, oh they treat me like a leper
You see me move back and forth between both
I'm trying to find a balance
I'm trying to build a balance

someone please explain this fuckin hook

So now I keep a close eye on my pets
Because they make most of they moves off of instinct and sense
It's eat, sleep, fuck in self defense
So straight you can set your clocks and place bets

huh? lol

Yeah I got some last words, FUCK ALL OF YA'LL!
Stop writin' raps and go play volleyball

play volleyball?

someone please decipher these coded lines..lol

[axisthamc]

yea the songs pretty fucken sic...just like all there other songs

[MC Sky]

that song is bananas dog i kept it on loop for like an hour today.. that shit is nasty.. one of the nicest songs ive ever heard

[Clint Walkin]

The first part.. is a quote from an older track of his

Get those amps.. That line is saying.. break into a car and steal the system in it.. blah the lines aren't that abstract.

[MC Sky]

what does stealing amps from someone car have to do with achieving your goals? lol

[Somber]

what if your goal is to steal amps?

[MC Sky]

he said your goals.. stealing amps is one thing..

[wordplay]

this song is all about compare and contrast...remember he is trying to find a balance.

[Forlorn]

Yo sir have no talent at understanding thigns lol
You can't achieve your goals if you don't take that chance
So go pry open that trunk and get those amps (You know!)

Means if you wanna rap, dont just sit hear and do nuthin grab your amps and start recording

omg if you cant understnd the hook theres something wrong

Im not gunna bother explainning this shit, all it takes is a little bit of intelligence and the lines arnt abstract at all

Seriously this shit is EASY AS TO GET most of it isnt even metaphors as such.

Just read between the lines!

[Prince Adem]

If you steal the B from 'bless' you get 'less'

He's too fucked up to date girls, so he's gonna sit there wanking all day.. also the song's about touring, so he's saying go get those amps, achieve your dreams

Volleyball is traditionally played by women (at least i think so)... he's calling people pussies

That's all I could gather... it's one of his more abstract songs.. but i like the beat and delivery

[wordplay]

I think I put it beautifully. this is compare and contrast. it's also about reaching dreams/goals and not letting that chance of attaining it slip away.

[MC Sky]

at least wozgta can come with sense unlike forlon i understand things very well this song just doesnt make that much sense as far as the lyrics someone explain the pets line what the hell is that.. and actually there are alot of men that play volleyball but that could be what he was trying to get at

[spokenoh]

If you think this is abstract, I don't recommend MF DOOM and Sage Francis to you.

God bless America, but it stole the 'b' from bless.

As wogzta said, it means 'less' but remember Public Enemy always spoke about the B side. Black communities. Anyways, I can interpret that line different ways.

[MC Sky]

no shit i figured that line out.. its less.. but it still doesnt make sense.. and explain that line about pets i mean wtf is that

[bornspokenword]

just think about what he mentioned before...

watch your pets...they have it easy
their life consists of the basics...
eat, sleep and fuck...no worries
