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.
Losing sight of a past time
The years fly right by with the drinks
It’s morning in this small apartment
And I just threw up in the sink.
The coke is not settling anything
And I’m as tired as I’ve ever been
I’d like to go back to Chicago
But I’m not looking back there again
I fought with all of my teachers
I fought with all of my friends
I fought with the vices and sweating and shakes
I’m not going back there again.
No, I’m not going back there again.
Tonight, tonight I’m walkin’ away.
Tonight, tonight I’m walkin’ away.
I don’t want to hear about old days -
What are we doing today?
Fake memories, they don't impress me.
The old times were never that great.
We got the whole city
Before us
Tonight, tonight we're walkin’ away
And I wanna bury
The past
Tonight, tonight we're walking away
With bottles and dancing
With whiskey and love
Let’s drink to the death of regret
Tonight, tonight I’m walkin’ away
Tonight, tonight I’m walkin’ away
Ohhh.
The years fly right by with the drinks
It’s morning in this small apartment
And I just threw up in the sink.
The coke is not settling anything
And I’m as tired as I’ve ever been
I’d like to go back to Chicago
But I’m not looking back there again
I fought with all of my teachers
I fought with all of my friends
I fought with the vices and sweating and shakes
I’m not going back there again.
No, I’m not going back there again.
Tonight, tonight I’m walkin’ away.
Tonight, tonight I’m walkin’ away.
I don’t want to hear about old days -
What are we doing today?
Fake memories, they don't impress me.
The old times were never that great.
We got the whole city
Before us
Tonight, tonight we're walkin’ away
And I wanna bury
The past
Tonight, tonight we're walking away
With bottles and dancing
With whiskey and love
Let’s drink to the death of regret
Tonight, tonight I’m walkin’ away
Tonight, tonight I’m walkin’ away
Ohhh.

Holiday

@[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.

Losing sight of a past time The years fly right by with the drinks. It’s morning in this small apartment And I just threw up in the sink. The coffee's not settling anything And I’m as tired as I’ve ever been. I’d like to go back to Chicago But I’m not looking back there again.
I fought with all of my teachers I fought with all of my friends. I fought with the vices and sweating and shakes I’m not going back there again. No, I’m not going back there again.
Tonight, tonight, I’m walkin’ away. Tonight, tonight, I’m walkin’ away. I don’t want to hear about old days What are we doing today? Fake memories, they don't impress me. The old times were never that great.
We've got the whole city before us Tonight, tonight I’m walkin’ away. And I wanna bury the past. With bottles and dancing With whiskey and love. Let’s drink to the death of regret.
Tonight, tonight, I’m walkin’ away. Tonight, tonight, I’m walkin’ away.
I'm pretty sure. But yeah, great song. Love it to death.
"Losing's sort of a passtime" i think thats the first line. and "Vague memories" instead of "fake memories" maybe?
awesome song. forget about yesterday, lets make some good memories today
nah it's definitely "fake memories" sorry bro...but ya might have somethin with that first line...i'm not quit sure there....love the song tho either way haha
the first line is "losing's sort of a past time" and it's "the coffee's not settling anything and i'm as tired as i've ever been." and yes it is "fake memories." i have the album, this is what's written in the lyrics booklet. fuckin' masterpiece this album truely is. i just wish they'd hurry up and make some new stuff, it's been five years. glad there's one band i don't have to worry about them selling out.
great great song
