I don't plan anything
I'm trying to come home thoughts of
You are always on my mind a runaway
From problems my excuse when I am there

You roll over once again I'm gone I'm old
It's plain to see a life of tragedy save
It for later that's what we always said what
Will that do for us tried to paint a picture

Of the time that we once shared you never
Seemed to be so concerned story goes like
This you say I'm almost never there independent
Is what you've always want an arm to hold on

Someone to sleep next to in the night rolling
Over once again I'm gone look through the
Backlog and index of thoughts this time
It won't get to me.

    yeah he's with this girl that he likes but sometimes he would rather be home by himself because there's some kinda problem in the relationship he can't deal with (a runaway from problems)

    This is how I hear the song:

    I don't plan anything I'm trying to come home Thoughts of you are always on my mind A runaway from problems, my excuse when I am there You roll over - once again I'm gone

    It's old, it's plain to see this life of tragedy Save it for later - that's what we always said What will that do for us? What will they do for us? What will they do for us now?

    Tried to paint a picture of the times that we once shared Never seemed to be so concerned

    The story goes like this... You say I'm almost never there Independence is what you want An arm to hold on, someone to sleep next to in the night Rolling over - once again I'm gone

    Look through the backlog, and index of thoughts This time it won't get to me What will that do for us? What will we do for us? What will we do for us now?

    I tried to paint a picture of the time we once shared Never seemed to be so concerned

    Silence I describe - we're barely hanging on and on

    (And I don't plan anything I'm never comin' home Thoughts of you are on my mind So I'm never gone...)

    What will we do for us?

    the lyrics up there are wrong... it says "THE story goes like this" and he says a whole line at the end that isnt up there, something like "unsatisfied keeps me hanging on and on" or sumthing so these are all wrong

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
