A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.

Thoughts
a fuckload of em
are hard to contain
or direct
they just flow
sumtimes they amaze
arouse
energize
but sumtimes
they just fuck u up
mess up the mind,
thinking of thoughts
is prolly worse,
I can’t imagine
all those philosophers
thinking about thought processes
they must have a fucked up life
nobody really cares
if you can see through
their expression of ideas
and opinions
they just blurt out
what comes to their minds
and are happy with that
the person who actually understands
is usually more hurt
sumtimes not just by the opinions
but the thought process
that churns em out,
what a waste of time
thinking about thoughts,
even worse is
writing about em,
most people are just animals
and to get along with beasts
u have to match the behaviour,
which sucks
when u know u can but don’t want to
cuz its stupid
being an animal urself
u have to dumb urself down
totally fucked up
not good at all,
come to think of it
must be miserable at times
being cursed with such ability
it’s kinda hard to impress
your own ideas
knowing others may not get em
when u know how their minds work
its like having everything
to kill an argument
but knowing they won’t accept it,
u get em
silenced, yes
converted, no
totally fucked up
so I guess
better to stop giving a fuck
and just blast it out
be the philosopher
but be the beast as well
cuz it may matter
only to people living after you
what you thought and said
but the beasts around u
understand one language alone
the one they speak
don’t worry about leaving a mark
u won’t be there to celeberate it
enjoy the fucking moment
take uncalculated risks
be the beast.
second thoughts
it feels bad
prolly cuz ur living around beasts
had u been living around a sensible kind
it might not have been a curse
but a blessing
right now, just go by first thoughts.

This song is about waiting for the other person to contact back, having broken a relationship due to misunderstandings. It has a hint of ego, a tinge of repentance and the strong desire to reconnect!
I don’t quite relate to the theme of the song, but it somehow gives me the shivers right now! Having had it in my collection for over a year and heard it prolly the third time ever, it makes me listen to it again and again.
Give it a shot, you might like it!
Lyrics:
Hazar rahein mud ke dekhin
Kahin se koi sada na aayi
Badi wafa se nibhayi tumne
Hamari thodi si bewafai
Jahan se tum mod mud gaye the
Ye mod ab hi wahin pade hain
Hum apne pairon mein jaane kitne
Bhanwar lapete hue khade hain
Badi wafa se nibhayi tumne
Hamari thodi si bewafai
*
Kahin kisi roz yun bhi hota
Hamari haalat tumhari hoti
Jo raat humein guzari marr ke
Vo raat tumne guzari hoti
Badi wafa se nibhayi tumne
Hamari thodi si bewafai
*
Tumhe ye zid thi ke hum bulate
Humein ye ummid vo pukarein
Hai naam hoton pe ab bhi lekin
Aawaz mein pad gayi dararein
Hazar rahein mud ke dekhim
Kahin se koi sada na aayi
Badi wafa se nibhayi tumne
Hamari thodi si bewafai
