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'm your puppet
I'll learn to love it
and I'll undress
if you need it
but please don't need it
if you need it
I'll scream out
weave a secret
I will sweep it
beaneath the carpet
where you'll keep it
how weak is that?
wish I was worth it
to you
review my wishes
for fair weather
'cause I know if the clouds with rains or snows
you wont be there
how weak is that?
wish I was worth it
to you
I'll learn to love it
and I'll undress
if you need it
but please don't need it
if you need it
I'll scream out
weave a secret
I will sweep it
beaneath the carpet
where you'll keep it
how weak is that?
wish I was worth it
to you
review my wishes
for fair weather
'cause I know if the clouds with rains or snows
you wont be there
how weak is that?
wish I was worth it
to you

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
she loves him so much but he's just using her. she can't stand it, knowing that he doesn't really care like she does. but at the same time, she can't stop loving him. she just wishes he would change & love her back.
i was in a relationship like this recently. "how weak is that / wish i was worth it, to you" the speaker is in a relationship in which she loves him, but she knows he doesn't reciprocate that love, it seems as if he's just using her for sex. ("i'll undress if you need it, but please don't need it") she knows that he won't be there for her in bad times ("review my wishes, for fair weather...") but still she stays with him anyway and accepts it. very sad.
she really loves him, and he uses her. even though she tries to walk away, she is too attatched to him and she knows that anything he asks of her, she will do. it sounds like"he" may have a grilfriend or something, because it is implied to be a secret relationship. she feels weak and ashamed of being the girl in the shadows, but knows she loves him too much to not be,
"How weak is that?" gets me every time.
Yes, about being used but unable to stop because she loves him.
i agree with everything everyone's said, but i came up with my own interpretation of the second stanza:
weave a secret I will sweep it beaneath the carpet where you'll keep it how weak is that? wish I was worth it to you
i agree with the "don't tell" comment. "weave a secret" - basically, do what he's been doing.. abusing and using. "i will sweep it/beneath the carpet" - she'll brush it away, just like everything else. "where you'll keep it" - he obviously has no problem doing so.
it really is a beautiful song.
this song is so cute. she sings it so well. i love how most of their lyrics are about being used but loving it because she loves him. its so relateable to girls.
weave a secret I will sweep it beaneath the carpet where you'll keep it how weak is that? wish I was worth it to you
my take, is that this is about a "don't tell" relationship. she's being used, but is too naive to walk away & she loves him; he has her wrapped around his finger like a "puppet" it makes her feel worthless.
why do we do it?
i relate, sadly.
it's not weave, it's we've as in we have. says so on her site. not that it really makes a huge difference but yah.
this is exactly like every girl! Treated like crap, but they seem to always go for it.. Really picked it up well I think
meredith has a lot of songs like this, it worries me. she has such a beautiful voice.
