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.
Burn all the candles out
Make a wish but not aloud
Relive the here and now
To see you now and then
I'm a revolvin' door
I've seen it all before
I will begin again
But I can't start until I've seen the end
I took a look around
I believe in hand me downs
The treasures that we found
When we were brand new
Now that we're old and worn
A little ripped and torn
One day, we'll be reborn
One day, I will meet you right back here
Once again
Wait
Stop me so I can begin
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
I'm feeling out of luck
Maybe I just feel too much
That old familiar touch
Will always sting my skin
The good in everyone
The ties we've left undone
The heart that moves your blood
All the things that bring me right back here
Once again
Wait
Stop me so I can begin
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
I'm circling
Hey
Once again
Wait
Stop me so I can begin
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
I'm circling
I'm circling
I'm circling
I'm circling
Make a wish but not aloud
Relive the here and now
To see you now and then
I'm a revolvin' door
I've seen it all before
I will begin again
But I can't start until I've seen the end
I took a look around
I believe in hand me downs
The treasures that we found
When we were brand new
Now that we're old and worn
A little ripped and torn
One day, we'll be reborn
One day, I will meet you right back here
Once again
Wait
Stop me so I can begin
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
I'm feeling out of luck
Maybe I just feel too much
That old familiar touch
Will always sting my skin
The good in everyone
The ties we've left undone
The heart that moves your blood
All the things that bring me right back here
Once again
Wait
Stop me so I can begin
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
I'm circling
Hey
Once again
Wait
Stop me so I can begin
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
End over end, end over end
End over end, I'm circling
I'm circling
I'm circling
I'm circling
I'm circling

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
The lyrics are off
It seems pretty obvious to me what this is about. The guy and his girlfriend broke up. He's not over her, and he wants to try it again. He succumbs to all of the memories they had and wants to go back to her. Just my opinion.
these lyrics are all messed up
Cool Track name. Can't wait for in your honor album. post another after haearing this track
its a keeper
Killer track, don't know what it means though
Methinks the guitar riff in this song is muchas catchy especially after the opening verse when the drums and bass kick in. I reakon the Foo Fighters still have more albums to come despite some people's bleak view of this album (i think it's their second best, after There Is Nothing Left To Lose)
Another great song! Reminds me of 'New way home' or 'Floaty'
Possibly about needing a new start? to be honest, i have not a clue what this song is about but i adore it anyways. Methinks this COULD be the last album they make- not because i believe they have nothing left to give (cause this album is awesome and the foo fighters will always live!) but because ive read sources that lead me to think In Your Honor could, sadly, be the mighty foos' last album. I dont see how people can fault In Your Honor. it is packed with amazing riffs, powerful drum beats and dave's voice has evolved into some kind of godly force. also, there is an acoustic side which is as good as the loud songs. all in all, a fantastic album and critics need to get their head out of their ass and then maybe they would be able to hear the almighty sounds produced by the legendary fo fighters! :)
I think it's about everything he hasn't done or what he wanted to do and how he wants to change, he's getting sick of doing the same thing all over again, day in day out. It's all about memories & wanting to start all over again.. Well, that's how I take it anyway. This is my favourite Foos song on the album :D
