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.
I'll never feel the weight of your hands
Inside mine like diamonds
Lace so fine ballerina
Cupcake and my earthquake
Wakes me from my sleep that
Never comes, are you breathing
Waiting for me
I didn't really want you
But I want you now
Was so foolish of me
Feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room, the lights went out
I want to rescue, want to scream out loud
I didn't think I needed you
But I need you now
Was so empty in me
Feel you crashing down
Into the empty world, the music stops
I want to rescue, want to scream out loud
You will always be mine
The room spins
they pull you from me, my body burns
Tell me all the rainbows
The colors that the rain throws
Ballerina, dance softly
She knows when to come only
When she's called on slowly coming to
I didn't really want you
But I need you
Was so foolish of me
Feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room, the lights went out
Want to rescue want to scream out loud
I didn't think I wanted you
But I want you now
Was so empty in me
Feel you crashing down
Into the empty world, the music stops
I want to rescue, want to scream out loud
You will always be mine
So so sorry
Just come back for me now
So so sorry
Just come back to me now
Or soon
I didn't think I wanted you
But I want you now
Was so foolish of me
Feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room, the lights went out
Wanted to rescue, want to scream out loud
I didn't think I needed you
But I need you now
Was so empty in me
Feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room, the lights went out
I want to rescue want to scream out loud
That you will always be mine
Inside mine like diamonds
Lace so fine ballerina
Cupcake and my earthquake
Wakes me from my sleep that
Never comes, are you breathing
Waiting for me
I didn't really want you
But I want you now
Was so foolish of me
Feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room, the lights went out
I want to rescue, want to scream out loud
I didn't think I needed you
But I need you now
Was so empty in me
Feel you crashing down
Into the empty world, the music stops
I want to rescue, want to scream out loud
You will always be mine
The room spins
they pull you from me, my body burns
Tell me all the rainbows
The colors that the rain throws
Ballerina, dance softly
She knows when to come only
When she's called on slowly coming to
I didn't really want you
But I need you
Was so foolish of me
Feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room, the lights went out
Want to rescue want to scream out loud
I didn't think I wanted you
But I want you now
Was so empty in me
Feel you crashing down
Into the empty world, the music stops
I want to rescue, want to scream out loud
You will always be mine
So so sorry
Just come back for me now
So so sorry
Just come back to me now
Or soon
I didn't think I wanted you
But I want you now
Was so foolish of me
Feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room, the lights went out
Wanted to rescue, want to scream out loud
I didn't think I needed you
But I need you now
Was so empty in me
Feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room, the lights went out
I want to rescue want to scream out loud
That you will always be mine

The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.

The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[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.
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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song is not about a loss of a boyfriend/lover, although it was a beautiful touch to the end of the Weeds episode in which Nancy crying as she watches old home movies of herself and her deceased husband. But it's not about the loss of a man. Most obvious clues are "ballerina," "cupcake," and "lace" (which are all girly things) and referring to the lost person as a "she." It is about the mother's regret about an abortion. A clue that it is a baby that dies and not an older child is that she says she'll never feel the weight of her hands inside hers. It says "pull you from me, my body burns." To me that means the doctors take the embryo/fetus out of her body. The "feel you tumbling/crashing down into that empty room" refers to the baby being drawn out of her and into the room at the abortion clinic. And the room spins because she's obviously drugged up and dealing with mixed emotions about what is happening. The lights go out and the music stops symbolizes the baby's death, leaving the mother in darkness. And the mother is torn up with emotions like she wants to change what has already happened, she wishes she could take save the baby but now she can't, and the "want to scream out loud" just shows the desperation she feels inside. The "tell me of the rainbows, the colors that the rain throws" are words to her lost baby, wondering what she is seeing in Heaven. And "she knows when to come only when she's called" to me means being called into Heaven by God, and "I'm slowly coming to" (which the lyrics above are incorrect with "on slowly coming to") means the mother is regaining consciousness from whatever drugs she was given to do the abortion procedure. When I first heard the song I thought it was about a stillborn baby, but then at the end I was convinced it was abortion when she says "so so sorry, just come back for/to me now."
