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 know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
Save your tears, 'cuz I'll come back
I could hear that you whispered
As you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain when I turned
Back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out
And begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid
To say what's in my heart
For 1000 words
That have never been spoken
Will fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance
Holding you
Suspended on silver wings
And 1000 words
1000 confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel
Seem far away
They'll hold you forever
The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say
Wait for me, I'll write you letters
I could see how you stand
With your eyes to the floor
But still I swore
To hide the doubt
When i turned back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head
And said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm strong enough
To know it's not too late
'Cuz 1000 words
Called out through the ages
Will fly to you
Even though we can't see
I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings
Oh, 1000 words
1000 embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days
Seem far away
They'll hold you forever
1000 words
Have never been spoken
Will fly to you
They'll carry you home
And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings
Oh
And 1000 words
Called out through the ages
Will cradle you
Turning all of your lonely years
To holy days
They'll hold you forever
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
Save your tears, 'cuz I'll come back
I could hear that you whispered
As you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain when I turned
Back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out
And begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid
To say what's in my heart
For 1000 words
That have never been spoken
Will fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance
Holding you
Suspended on silver wings
And 1000 words
1000 confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel
Seem far away
They'll hold you forever
The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say
Wait for me, I'll write you letters
I could see how you stand
With your eyes to the floor
But still I swore
To hide the doubt
When i turned back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head
And said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm strong enough
To know it's not too late
'Cuz 1000 words
Called out through the ages
Will fly to you
Even though we can't see
I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings
Oh, 1000 words
1000 embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days
Seem far away
They'll hold you forever
1000 words
Have never been spoken
Will fly to you
They'll carry you home
And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings
Oh
And 1000 words
Called out through the ages
Will cradle you
Turning all of your lonely years
To holy days
They'll hold you forever

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
