He certainly did earn that reputation.
I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun but I don't need to fly
I'm gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
And find the dish that ran away from the spoon
I've crossed the ocean, turned every bend
I found the crossing near a golden rainbow's end
I've been through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years and it never bothered me
Got no religion, don't need no friends
Got all I want and I don't need to pretend
Don't try to reach me, 'cause I'd tear up your mind
I've seen the future and I've left it behind
I want to touch the sun but I don't need to fly
I'm gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
And find the dish that ran away from the spoon
I've crossed the ocean, turned every bend
I found the crossing near a golden rainbow's end
I've been through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years and it never bothered me
Got no religion, don't need no friends
Got all I want and I don't need to pretend
Don't try to reach me, 'cause I'd tear up your mind
I've seen the future and I've left it behind

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Iommi is the riff master
This is one rifferama!
Supernaut = a play on the word psychonaut. Psychonaut (according to wikipedia.org) = A psychonaut (literally, an explorer of the psyche) is a person who uses psychoactive entheogens as guides, or means, to achieve inward spiritual experiences, and who reflects upon these experiences and applies them to his or her own life in a positive way, with the intent of bettering himself or herself. This is quite distinct from religious use, or social and leisure use of drugs, although invariably these overlap.
Oh and radiofreesrini, your cover sux.
sheeeeessshhhh........well its obviously about a guy looking for a leprachaun. DUH!! c'mon now....
ozzy wrote very few Sabbath lyrics...its nearly all Geezer Butler....Vol $ is basically all about cocaine...as is given away by the dedication on the back of the album
Love this tune so much, it's my text message tone on my cell phone. Just about 2 or 3 seconds of the beginning drum sound.
I think this song is about living life to the fullest.
Black Sabbath is the greatest band ever
I agree with sentry in a way the lyrics are not always the only meaning in a song, often the instraments say alot more but if I only look at the lyrics I would say that its about a man that has all he wants in life and just wants to be left alone to expierience life on his own.
This song is ridiculous. From the lyrics to the amazing riff. The riff says to me, "I don't give a fvck, leave me alone!" The last two lines, or the entire song!, are unbelievable.
"Don't try to reach me 'cos I'll tear up your mind I've seen the future and I've left it behind"
one of my top 20 sabbath songs of all time! (that sounds like nothing but... realize there are about 60 good sabbath songs)
