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 eye in the sky, looking at you. I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools. The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing.
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
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 (iron)
[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
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
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
Round and Round, New Order
The picture you see is no portrait of me. I am weak while you are strong.
