This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Someday they will build monuments for us.
People like me walk out the door,
We'll pull you out into the streets
Of far off countries. If I'm ready to go,
How could I let you dwell in delight?
Oh see, all things are so bright and spiritual.
These seeds are growing in extraordinary colors.
Convinced? Even I believe that I have grown something.
It's cased in light.
Don't you worry about me, I'm gone.
Don't you worry about me.
I'm off in a distant place
Where I can be the signifier,
Not that which is signified.
The referent, convincing us (you and me both),
For you, my smile is like bow, bow, bow, bow.
Out here there is no 'under the skin.'
And the form of every other
Is hidden under covers.
Let us sleep
In ease of dark.
We couldn't rest
With this sense of duty hanging off of our chests.
Peeled away, we had to get back from where the
Grip of our hands could lift us from the failures
In the eyes of men, to form our scales and weigh
Our words, good again.
To form our scales in the eyes of men,
To weigh our words
And make ourselves good again.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song

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."
For listeners of Boy Sets Fire -- does anyone else think his voice sounds SO similar to the singer in BSF?
good song.
aside from giaramita's endless hype, this is the song that got me completely immersed in this band.
its small, but you forgot the "so nevermind" at the beginning of the song.
Someone online posted these lyrics with the first lines being a quote of the officer who invented the gas chamber. If that's the case... the way it's being quoted really adds depth to the song.
The lines
"Even I believe that I have grown something."
It's interesting to hear Matt sing "i believe that I(you've) grown something." he changes it mid word... which is really really interesting.
uh, the clapping/stomping part during the "Don't you worry about me" is one of the coolest things evar. especially live...
the "so nevermind" part at the beginning isn't part of the official lyrics in the cd liner; that's why i didn't include it.
ps: if you're unsure if you like anathallo or not, go see them live. they're breathtaking.
thoughts and comments on the meaning? and yes, they are quite the show live.
the lyrics to this song are beautiful. i love anathallo. and the clapping/stomping is amazing. its so neat how something like that can turn into another instrument.
i saw them live with Brand New at Kool Haus on May 18th and they are PHENOMENAL live!
missionary almost vibe from it? if referent is referring to the cross and signifier being a true follower of Christ and signified being just a Christian? its a stretch
