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.
Jeg vågner op i en opgang
der var åbenbart for lang vej hjem
jeg tar mig til hovedet
for jeg har grusomme tømmermænd
min sandpapirstunge
trænger til at blive skrabet ud
der er bræksmag i munden
og mine tænder er ved at falde ud
jeg vakler ud på gaden
hvor folk ser mærkeligt på mig
de gemmer børnene væk
og vender sig den anden vej
hvor jeg er ved jeg ikke men jeg ved jeg vil drikke
min hals den er tør gi mig sprut før jeg dør
jeg burde gå hjemad men benene går fremad
de har spottet en bodega så der går jeg ind og
sir alkohol jeg vil drikke mig så fuld at jeg bliver en mongol
alkohol
så fuld at jeg må køres væk i en rullestol.
alkohol.
drikker du nok bliver helmuth kohl et idol
alkohol
hvis jeg fik lov ville sejle gondol i alkohol
på bodegaen er der venner
ja nogen jeg har drukket med før
efter tre elefanter
så er halsen ikke længere så tør
jeg har stadig penge så jeg blir her nok længe
hvor der vodka er der glæde det var
breschniev der sagde det
der er sprut der er bajer lad os gøre som vi plejer
lad os drikke os dumme og så brække os i en klumme
vi sidder og råber vi sidder og håber
at der kommer nogen piger som lisså sødt siger
"hej, jeg hedder blanca, vil du ha en fernet branca
eller er du til snaps kan du li min babs
ska vi drikke hele natten jeg har en tatto på patten
vil du med hjem og se den vil du tjekke kvaliteten"
man må sidde og håbe for man er jo en tåbe
jeg vågner i en fængselscelle
sengen er hård men til gengæld smal
en læge spørger "hvor mange fingre har jeg her"
men jeg har aldrig været god til tal
gratis logi for natten
men der er ingen morgenmad
de ville gerne have haft nogen penge
men nu er jeg aldeles flad
hva faen skal jeg gøre
skal man nu samle flasker igen
spørge folk har du to kroner
samle penge ind til FN
det er stadig kun tirsdag der er lang tid til torsdag
der kommer bissen henning boller med nissen
så bliver der fest og glæde alt man kan æde
men det gider vi ikke vi gider kun drikke alkohol...
der var åbenbart for lang vej hjem
jeg tar mig til hovedet
for jeg har grusomme tømmermænd
min sandpapirstunge
trænger til at blive skrabet ud
der er bræksmag i munden
og mine tænder er ved at falde ud
jeg vakler ud på gaden

de gemmer børnene væk

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
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,
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
