Between Angels And Insects

Papa Roach · Time For Annihilation..On the Record, and On The Road [2010]

There's no money

There's no possessions

Only obsession

I don't need that shit

Take my money, take my obsession



I just wanna be heard

Loud and clear are my words

Comin' from within man

Tell 'em what you heard

It's about a revolution

In your heart and in your mind

You can't find the conclusion

Lifestyle and obsession

Diamond rings get you nothin

But a lifelong lesson

And you're pocket book stressin'

You're a slave to the system

Workin' jobs that you hate

For that shit you don't need

It's too bad the world is based on greed

Step back and see

Stop thinkin bout yourself

Start thinkin bout



There's no money

There's no possession

Only obsession

I don't need that shit

Take my money, take my possession

Take my obsession, I don't need that



'Cos everything is nothing

And emptiness is in everything

This reality is really just a fucked up dream

With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul

Flip it inside out

It's a big black hole

Take your money burn it up like an asteroid

Possessions

They are never gonna fill the void

Take it away

And learn the best lesson, the heart, the soul, the life, the passion



There's no money

There's no possession

Only obsession

I don't need that shit

Take my money, take my possession

Take my obsession, I don't need that shit



Money, possession, obsession

Present yourself, press your clothes

Comb your hair and clock in,

You just can't win, just can't win

The things you own, own you now!



Take my money, take my possession

Take my obsession, I don't need that shit

Fuck your money, fuck your possession

Fuck your obsession, I don't need that shit

Money, possession, obsession

I don't need that shit

Between Angels And Insects

Released on the 2010 album Time For Annihilation..On the Record, and On The Road, this track stands as a defining example of Papa Roach's evolution into a more mature, melodic hard rock sound. Following the success of their previous work, the band shifted focus toward anthemic choruses and polished production, a direction that would characterize their subsequent discography. The song features the band's signature blend of aggressive riffs and soaring vocals, capturing the emotional intensity of their later era while maintaining the raw energy that established their reputation. It serves as a pivotal recording that bridges their early nu-metal roots with the broader hard rock landscape of the 2010s.
