The name of the song already gives it away. Everybody's changing, one way or another. "And I don't feel the same", this is related to Deja vu. You're taking a look at yourself and realize you're also not the same anymore (since the copy most likely got mutated!).

"You say you wander your own life". This is the lonely druid. "Everybody's changing and I don't know why." Is this somehow your fault they're changing?

"Trying to make a move just to stay in the game" - here's when you're using the SoSe, contemplating what to do.

"Trying to stay awake and remember my name" - This is what you use the Adrenaline for. Just to try to keep yourself awake.

"You're gone from here, soon you will disappear, fading into beautiful light" - The sparks. The last remnants of those you thought you knew.

Graboid/Phoenix are just others that change.

A song that's unfortunately more up to date than ever before. Too much hate. Emphatic bond signifies the love and peace we're all hoping for.

"What's wrong with the world, mamma?" - Leaf Dragon/Emerald Dragon and Firefly/Firefly Queen are the kid, asking their mother this question

"I think the whole word addicted to the drama, only attracted to the things that bring the trauma" - Metaphor to the Thunderstorms

"Overseas yeah we're trying to stop terrorism, but we've still got terrorists here living" - OE is supposed to be used against the terrorism, but we still got terrorists between us, the Scorpions.

"But if you only have love for your own race, then you only leave space to discriminate" - This is the Ray of Light, which is fitting in just fine. But the black person, is treated as a parasite. Discriminated the point where it's not even allowed to be played.

"We don't care if people dying, children hurt, you hear them crying" - Thorn Carapace. Basically only caring for your own good, even if it hurts others in the process.

"Would you turn the other cheek?" - Pendulums signify exactly this.

The song is about someone not listening; seeking answers, but finding none. Silence, Dimshield and immateriality all fit within this description. In the lyrics there are also 'Shields of Despair' which further supports Dims.

G2 vs DC(Addicted to a Memory): Win
Counter.

G3 vs DC(Fireflies): Win
Got Lobo and a Silence chain early.

G2 vs Vindi(Diamond Heart): Loss
Countered. Should have played Only Happy When It Rains...

I had a good laugh making this one.
Cocaine gets you high and stoned. Know what else gets you high and stoned? BB! Your HP gets very high. It also makes you a stone for 6 turns.
Chorus:
    She don't mind(×3)
    Cocaine
If the Nymphs don't mind, then include them I shall.
At the very beginning of the song, the following are the lyrics:
    If you want to get down
    Get down on the ground
The Graboids and Shriekers like getting down on the ground (So do Antlions but they drank too much BB).
Hourglasses represent how cocaine burns your life away.

G1 vs andre(Toxic): Win

Let's look at the chorus:
    I can feel it, comin’ back again
    Like a rollin’, thunder chasing the wind
    Forces pullin’ from the center of the earth again
    I can feel it
The lightning sure is coming back... to bite you. Chasing you since reflect is there. I can feel the pain you suffer when I haven't drawn the cards I need.
Th song is about birth and death at a hospital. Sanctuary is a hospital, a place to protect the newborns and to pay respects to those who die. A child is born (Photon), while someone else dies (via lightning).

G2 vs andre(Thriller): Win
Andre didn't draw enough creatures, and Sancts made Nightmares useless.

G1 vs Vindi(Goldfinger): Loss
Got rushed, not enough combos to deal with the damage.

I'm only happy when it rains, because everything gets flooded.
I'm happy because this is a complicated situation to get out of, especially with so much control.
I'm pretty sure my opponent won't appreciate it.
This deck is bad news for anyone who wants to use creatures.
Pour your misery down on me... as I enjoy watching you slowly die.
I'm happy when things go wrong for my opponent...

I could go on with the lyrics of the song.
LS/Nymphs for masochism, which is a part of the song's theme.

G1 vs DC(The Fountain): Loss
Wyand-level RNG: First NT/Nymph was card #25.
0.2% chance.
It might have to do with masochism...

Couldn't participate, so just made a few decks just for fun. (And played a few games against Vindi - had the usual bad rng well, what's new?
 Despite the fact they are fun and unoptimized decks, they were quite good.)

Though the writer's original intention was a bit different, but the song still has a funny televangelist vibe. Sundial -> dial, you get it, lol? The Ghost has a sort of a Jesus posture.
Fate Egg = people tend to accept whatever "truths" and advice are given by those televangelists. QT is only there to provide quanta for possible skills, but on a second thought
I should have just replaced them with more SoRs. Since the given advice readily moves the subject to do something according to the advice.

Just read the lyrics, explains everything. I think this song is about how western media manipulates people to have more and more, but in the end you'll just stay unsatisfied - always.
Otyughs are symbolizing that and the lonely Amber, too - to a certain extent. You may picture the CPs as the media/commercials which magnify are inner instincts.

The bad aspects of education. Cats = teachers, Skellies = kids. The system just creates more lego bricks for the wall (BW). I know the metaphor lacks a bit (looking at the
inner workings of the cards), but let's explain like this: kids are summoned to the school system and whenever they like it or not, they will become a part of the system
through the dogmas filled into their heads. Together they can slowly tear down any opposition as well (small dmg + BE), while backed by the system (BW).

This is hilarious, gotta love Maynard. For those who don't know Maynard James Keenan is also the frontman of Tool. The song was created around last autumn, but he saw the opportunity
in the current COVID-19 situation and created a video according to that. Just check the lyrics of Ænema and this: his view changed a lot about apocalypse and how much he cares about it.
"They won't believe you until it's far too late" - wait for fractals... First Ball Lightning, later Retrovirus. "Be dumb" - Electrocutor.

Naii's idea made me do my version. Story says that Garbage made this song to reflect the early 90s grunge era, which was very much about gloomy songs, self-despise and so on.
So, a bit of masochistic attitude. And them dolls really like that rain!

Too bad I couldn't participate, because this would have been a really trollish choice! I could play literally anything in this deck. This song is suspected to be about life and whatever
perception you have about life is ok, because life is in the eye of the beholder. So I decided to make an obscure bow. (Not a strong choice, but I like the theme.)

Deck explanations:

Deck 1: Within Temptation – Ice Queen

General information: Ice Queen is a song about winter, by the Dutch band Within Temptation. Based on the title alone, nymph queen, nymphs tears and ice shield are added. The explananation for the other cards is in the spoiler below.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Lyrics                                                            Explanation
When leaves have fallen                                 
And skies turned to grey                                 Winter is coming, fits the water & ice element.
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell                 Represented by an ice shield, which causes mass freezes.

On cold wings she's coming                            Represented by the wings card.
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe

When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone     
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold                                This happens when you attack her ice shield.                           
You better hide before she finds you

Whenever she is raging                                  Represented by fire pendulums. You can create a raging version of the ice queen. It literally has a rage ability.
She takes a life away                                     The fire nymph version does take life away.
Haven't you seen?                                         You will see when that happens.
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world                                   Air pendulums are added. When the air version is summoned it can blow up and ruin the world.

Whenever she is raging                                  More fire pendulums.
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world

She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away                 The cloak is her ice shield, which can melt (another element is a bit hard to add).
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of the new day

On cold wings she's coming                          Represented by even more wings.
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe

Whenever she is raging                                3rd fire pend.
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world

Whenever she is raging                                4th fire pend for mentioning this 4x.
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world

Deck 2: Alan Walker & Sophia Somajo – Diamond Heart

General information: Diamond heart is a song about broken love, and being afraid to love someone again. Love sometimes hurts, the lyrics describe this as poison, the dagger and drowning in an endless sea. To counter this, Sophia wants to be made of stone (stone skin/ auburn nymph), have a diamond heart (diamond shield), and be unbreakable (enchant artifact). Only then she can love (shard of gratitude) again. The card choices represent Sophia. The way others may hurt her doesn't lead to card choices in deck, but are seen as the opponents. The lyrics explain how this deck fits the meta. For example it tells us that using a diamond heart means you longer have to fear a dagger.
See the spoiler below.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Hello sweet grief
I know you will be the death of me
Feel like the morning after ecstasy
I am drowning in an endless sea               The endless sea is represented by opponents.
Hello old friend
Here's the misery that knows no end
So I am doing everything I can
To make sure I never love again

I wish that I did not know
Where all broken lovers go
I wish that my heart was made of stone   You are playing an earth based deck. Auburn nymph to turn creatures into stone. Stone skin for yourself.
Yeah if I was bulletproof
I'd love you black and blue
If I was solid like a jewel

If I had a diamond heart                         A diamond shield it is.
Oh oh
I'd give you all my love                           Best represented by gratitude.
If I was unbreakable                               Enchant artifact turns diamond shield unbreakable. Great way to defend yourself against being hurt (by your lovers).
If I had a diamond heart                         Multiple copies of diamond shield it is, and upgraded.
Oh oh
You could shoot me with a gun of gold     Refers to others hurting you, perhaps with a golden nymph.
If I was unbreakable

I'd walk straight through the bullet
Bendin' like a tulip
Blue-eyed and foolish
Never mind the bruises
Into the fire                                           The fire refers to others. With our diamond shield we can fight fire, no problem.
Breakin' through the wires
Give you all I've got
If I had a diamond heart
I'd walk straight through the dagger        The dagger refers to other people hurting us, but can be countered by the diamond heart.
Never break the pattern
Diamonds don't shatter                          Unbreakable diamond heart/shield does counter that dagger and does not shatter.
Beautiful and battered
Into the poison                                      Silly Sophia thinks this deck counters poison.
Cry you an ocean
Give you all I've got                               The love/gratitude

Goodbye, so long
I don't know if this is right or wrong
Am I giving up where I belong?
'Cause every station is playing our song
Goodbye my love
You are everything my dreams made of
You'll be Prince and I'm the crying dove
If I only were unbreakable

I wish that I did not know
Where all broken lovers go
I wish that my heart was made of stone   Still an eart deck.
Yeah if I was bulletproof
I'd love you black and blue
If I was solid like a jewel

If I had a diamond heart
Oh oh
I'd give you all my love
If I was unbreakable
If I had a diamond heart
Oh oh
You could shoot me with a gun of gold
If I was unbreakable

I'd walk straight through the bullet
Bendin' like a tulip
Blue-eyed and foolish
Never mind the bruises
Into the fire
Breakin' through the wires
Give you all I've got
If I had a diamond heart
I'd walk straight through the dagger
Never break the pattern
Diamonds don't shatter
Beautiful and battered
Into the poison
Cry you an ocean
Give you all I've got

I'd give you all my love
If I was unbreakable
You could shoot me with a gun of gold
If I was unbreakable
I'd walk straight through the bullet
Bendin' like a tulip
Blue-eyed and foolish
Never mind the bruises
Into the fire
Breakin' through the wires
Give you all I've got
I'd walk straight through the dagger
Never break the pattern
Diamonds don't shatter
Beautiful and battered
Into the poison
Cry you an ocean
Give you all I got

Decks 3: Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger

General information: Goldfinger is one of the oldest James Bond movies. This is the theme song.
A gold trader kills one of his henchmen. Bond finds her body, covered in gold paint (represented by golden nymph). Later in the movie Goldfinger tries to irradiate Fort Knox, using a bomb, making it inaccessable for an eternity (eternity card).
The lyrics speak of a man with a mindas touch, a spiders touch, who beckens you into his web of sin (represented by flesh recluse). The ghosts are related to the people he killed.

Lyrics

Goldfinger, he's the man
The man with the midas touch                           Flesh recluse is a spider
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her      Golden girl is a golden nymph.
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger        Deck has a death mark and death cards.
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold

It is a shame, but in the end I was unable to choose. I like all four of these decks for different reasons.
The job is up to you now to vote for your favorite. Since anybody can be as undecisive than me there
are 2 votes per person available. You have 3 days to cast your votes!

I must add I liked ian's Keane deck a lot, but the rules stated that the deck must be actually played at the tourney.

an unstructured but still functional mono-entropy fits the idea of the song (that entropy destroys everything in the end).

NT - Just like how water droplets spew off fountains, the deck spews off nymphs off the water pillars.
Fire Pends (but more specifically Red Nymphs) - "Behind my eyes is rage alone but you don't understand it was all home-grown" thus red nymphs of red are grown from my own NTs
Cloaks - "Believe the dark, soon I'll disappear but I'll make my mark"
Nightmare - "All my dreams and all this stuff all made real and it's not enough" I interpret this this as dissatisfaction, hence bad dreams

I had a good laugh making this one.
Cocaine gets you high and stoned. Know what else gets you high and stoned? BB! Your HP gets very high. It also makes you a stone for 6 turns.
Chorus:
    She don't mind(×3)
    Cocaine
If the Nymphs don't mind, then include them I shall.
At the very beginning of the song, the following are the lyrics:
    If you want to get down
    Get down on the ground
The Graboids and Shriekers like getting down on the ground (So do Antlions but they drank too much BB).
Hourglasses represent how cocaine burns your life away.

Spoiler for Long And Nice Explanation:

Lyrics                                                            Explanation
When leaves have fallen                                 
And skies turned to grey                                 Winter is coming, fits the water & ice element.
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell                 Represented by an ice shield, which causes mass freezes.

On cold wings she's coming                            Represented by the wings card.
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe

When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone     
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold                                This happens when you attack her ice shield.                           
You better hide before she finds you

Whenever she is raging                                  Represented by fire pendulums. You can create a raging version of the ice queen. It literally has a rage ability.
She takes a life away                                     The fire nymph version does take life away.
Haven't you seen?                                         You will see when that happens.
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world                                   Air pendulums are added. When the air version is summoned it can blow up and ruin the world.

Whenever she is raging                                  More fire pendulums.
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world

She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away                 The cloak is her ice shield, which can melt (another element is a bit hard to add).
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of the new day

On cold wings she's coming                          Represented by even more wings.
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe

Whenever she is raging                                3rd fire pend.
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world

Whenever she is raging                                4th fire pend for mentioning this 4x.
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
