This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Thunder, rain and lightning
Danger, water rising
Clamor, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign
Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds, floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us?
All the steps we take
All the moves we make
All the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone
Who are we?
What can we do?
You and I are the same in the way that
We have our own styles and we won't change
Yours is filled with evil, and mine is not
There is no way I can lose
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright
Ancient cities blazing
Shadows keep attacking
Little children crying
Confusion, hopeless anger
I don't know why you got me
But you drive me crazy
All your cunning tricks make me sick
You won't have it your own way
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, and you will see
If it won't stop
There will be no future for us
It's hearts tied down by
All the hate, gotta set it free
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Gotta open your heart dude!
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright
Open your heart
Open your heart
Danger, water rising
Clamor, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign
Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds, floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us?
All the steps we take
All the moves we make
All the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone
Who are we?
What can we do?
You and I are the same in the way that
We have our own styles and we won't change
Yours is filled with evil, and mine is not
There is no way I can lose
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright
Ancient cities blazing
Shadows keep attacking
Little children crying
Confusion, hopeless anger
I don't know why you got me
But you drive me crazy
All your cunning tricks make me sick
You won't have it your own way
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, and you will see
If it won't stop
There will be no future for us
It's hearts tied down by
All the hate, gotta set it free
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
Close my eyes and feel them burn
Now I see what I gotta do
Gotta open your heart dude!
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this will last
I'm not gonna think this way

Now I see what I gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright
Open your heart

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
I'm going to do a typical analysis of this song.
"Thunder, rain and lightning" Obviously, Chaos's storm, coming with his gathering of the Chaos Emeralds.
"Danger, water rising" The flood from the fall of Angel Island.
"Clamour, sirens wailing" The evacuation of Station Square.
"It's such a bad sign" We can tell Chaos has gathered all seven emeralds, even without seeing for ourselves.
"Shadows of dark creatures" Chaos, of course.
"Steel clouds, floating in the air" Eggman's egg carrier.
"People run for shelter" Need I say it?
"What's gonna happen to us?" The confusion, knowing that destruction is coming.
"All the steps we take, All the moves we make; All the pain at stake" What could happen if Sonic fails and Chaos is victorious.
"I see the chaos for everyone. Who are we? What can we do?" Same as the last line, this time acknowledging that they are powerless in the face of perfect chaos.
"You and I are the same in the way that We have our own styles and we won't change. Yours is filled with evil, and mine is not; There is no way I can lose..." Acknowledging that being on the side of good provides a powerful motivation that can not be stopped.
"Can't hold on much longer - But I will never let go" There is no giving up, even when things get tough.
"I know it's a one way track - Tell me now how long this will last" There's only one way to succeed, but it is excruciatingly hard.
"I'm not gonna think this way - Nor will I count on others" Never think you're not strong enough; if you count on others, you admit to not giving it 110%.
"Close my eyes and feel them burn - Now I see what I gotta do" Awakening yourself to the stress, and the situation.
"Open your heart, it's gonna be alright" It's what you've got to keep telling yourself.
"Ancient cities blazing" Referring to the burning of the Master Emerald's altar in the flashbacks throughout the story.
"Shadows keep attacking" Referring to the men of the tribe of Echidnas trying to kill the Chao.
"Little children crying" Tikal, begging her father to show mercy for the Chao.
"Confusion, hopeless anger" The blind rage within Chaos that has turned him against humanity.
"I don't know why you got me But you drive me crazy. All your cunning tricks make me sick; You won't have it your own way" Sonic says to Eggman: 'Why don't you ever give up? You'll never win.'
"If it won't stop, There will be no future for us. It's hearts tied down by All the hate, gotta set it free" Need to calm chaos and end the destruction of the city.
Basically just gives a summary of Sonic Adventure. A very good one, too.
i think this song means that.... two people can be alike but have two different styles, in this case egman and sonic
The song has a lot to do with Sonic Adventure, since it was made for that game. The disasters he's singing about are Chaos destroying the city. He's either talking about Eggman or Chaos as the evil person here.
It may also have another meaning about our world in general, just the struggle between good and evil, and how we can't always be on guard - we have to "open our hearts"
Just a note: In the game version of this song, when you fight chaos, he opens with a loud long "Alright!"
I guess this song means to follow your heat. Anthor great Rock song I mean even for a video game song this is great! I mean I am not afriad to listen to this song knowing it is from a game
A kick-ass save-the-day song for Sonic the Hedgehog. He's fighing someone whose evil and he knows he's fighting with righteousness and heart on his side so he's staying positive.
i think this song describes a battle.could be between sonic and perfect chaos(danger water rising)..anyway,it's all about fighting for what'sright and stoping what is wrong....man,unbelievable song...also ithink it's''you and i are the same within,,
I think this song (as well as alot of other songs in the Sonic games) would go great on Idol. Vote up on this comment if you would like to see Idol do a Sonic the Hedgehog Night (Glee would also be a good choice; vote up if you agree on this, too).
