Walk on
Walk on
Walk on

Prophet six zero zero nine one
This is the flight number of our galactic sun
Prophet six zero zero nine one
Before we start you should know that you're not the only one
Who can hurt me

S-H one zero one five one
This is the serial number of our orbital gun
S-H one zero one five one
You better be sure before you leave me for another one

You can hurt me
I can hurt you
You can hurt me

You can hurt me
I can hurt you
But you better be sure before you leave me for another one

I can hurt you
You can hurt me
But you better be sure before you leave me for another one

Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on

Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Walk

    My Interpretation

    they could be referring to the prophet-600 and the sh-101 synthesizers. makes sense because these synths have a lot of knobs - wicky wicky!

    My Interpretation

    I love this song.

    At first, I thought it was about a woman that's getting romantically involved with with a man she just met, and was expressing her fears about getting burned in this very new relationship.

    I was just now googling for SH10151 to see what that's about, and someone created a t-shirt with a orbital gun and the serial number. (zazzle.com/orbital_gun_sh10151_tshirt-235211347593632875)

    That made me wonder if this song is about Mutual Assured Destruction.

    Prophet 60091: could be a flight number for a space rocket that is going to fire the orbital gun into orbit.

    "Before we start you should know that you're not the only one" She's a country or ambassador and is about to start some kind of defence treaty meeting. Other parties to the meeting have powerful weapons.

    "Who can hurt me" But wants to show weakness, and that will be willing to make concessions for the treaty to work.

    "SH10151, This is the serial number of our orbital gun" could be referring to a powerful devastating weapon, and other parties are aware of the destructive power of it.

    "You better be sure before you leave me for another one" If the other parties in the treaty want to abandon it, they really better be ready for the consequences.... because.....

    "You can hurt me I can hurt you You can hurt me" -- the consequences will be MAD (mutually assured destruction).

    I don't get it... Maybe she's fighting with some guy while watching Battlestar Galactica.

    Um, if 60091 was discovered in '99, then this song has nothing to do with that discovery. This song was recorded 4 years earlier.

    The main riff is sampled from a cover by Isaac Hayes of "Walk On By", a song composed by Burt Bacharach, with lyrics by Hal David. In that song the major overtone is love lost/broken heart. I think the references to the Prophet-600 and SH-10151 in the Hooverphonic version are just shut outs to how the Isaac Hayes track was recorded, capturing one of the most soulful rifts ever and expanding on it with galactic imagery, both songs are wonderful

    Seeing as I heard the band named the albun (Blue Wonder Power Milk) because the words sounded cool together, and because they are Belgian and might not know much English, I often think their songs don't mean much of anything and are just words put together to sound cool. I love their music, but as much as I try to get the "hidden meaning" in their songs, I just think they often put words together for their sound...which is okay.

    Yes Hooverphonic is Belgian and English is not their first language. But they DO know much English... hence the fact that all their music is written in English.

    I don't know the meaning behind the song, but Hooverphonic has been known for a lot of wordplay in their songs so I'm sure there is one in there.

    It refers to the Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 and Roland SH-101 synthesizers , both awesome vintage analog synths ! Hearing a a beautiful girl sing about synths is pretty amazing ;-)

    In the 1999 PC strategy game "Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun", there was a model of orbital ion cannon called SH10151. I guess this explains the "This is the serial number of our orbital gun"

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
