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.
And so it erodes, from the septum to a numbed aorta
Yet I longed to run as I watched you grow smaller
And finally fade into the long perspective
This time you won't be calling out and I'll keep on longing
As you keep on walking
(chorus)
We'll never walk together through leaves and over bridges
Or hear the sound of bells ringing out from that lone tower
Steps strive towards forever
Yet broken limbs keep this child where he lies
Awol and choking on the bitter taste of desperation
The leaves still turn
This time you won't be coming back
A lifetime of longing, we all saw it coming
I longed to run
(chorus)
Remember me from time to time
And all I'd sacrifice in my life to share just one last walk with you
Remember me, remember virtue
Remember me
I won't fade away, just long for another day
Yet I longed to run as I watched you grow smaller
And finally fade into the long perspective
This time you won't be calling out and I'll keep on longing
As you keep on walking
(chorus)
We'll never walk together through leaves and over bridges
Or hear the sound of bells ringing out from that lone tower
Steps strive towards forever
Yet broken limbs keep this child where he lies
Awol and choking on the bitter taste of desperation
The leaves still turn
This time you won't be coming back
A lifetime of longing, we all saw it coming
I longed to run
(chorus)
Remember me from time to time
And all I'd sacrifice in my life to share just one last walk with you
Remember me, remember virtue
Remember me
I won't fade away, just long for another day

Holiday
Bee Gees
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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Like love is fiction mentioned this song is influenced by the Kurt Vonnegut Jr. short story, Long Walk to Forever.
Newt, a private first class (PFC) goes AWOL from his camp in Fort Bragg, NC to see his life long friend, Catharine, who is to be married in a week. Newt asks her for a walk, afterwords mentions that he went AWOL just to see her. As they walk, he tells her that he loves her but doesn't really expect her to love him back. He tells her to remember him from time ti time. She begins to cry, but doing so invites him to kiss her through her expressions. He does and she feels guilty. They stop for a moment to admire the bell tower of a school for blind children. They stop and sit beneath a tree and Newt asks Catharine to close her eyes. As she does, he falls asleep. She admires him as he sleeps. He awakens an hour later and tells her he will leave and turn himself in; that he went AWOL for just one more walk with her. As he turns and walks away, Catharine thinks that if he turns around and calls her name, she will run to him. He does, so she runs to him.
The song seems to switch the roles slomewhat, Newt watches Catherine walk away and waits for to call out to him, but in this version there is no happy ending.
The song title is taken from the line Newt keeps telling Catharine when she erefuses to keep walking: One foot in front of the other-through leaves and over bridges.
