Two oaken doors
Open to Floors
Imported marble
Victorian drawers
They go between
Bucolic scenes
Machavellian
And all the lesser name schemes
Greyhounds and rabbits
Go round and round
But everybody scatters
When the Hindenburg goes down!
Robber-Baroness-es
Carpet-baggers-ese
But honestly speaking, now
We all got the same disease
I'm afraid the party's canceled
The servants never showed
All the world was penciled
On this foreboding note
Force gettin' ready
Man, begat too much
All the world will suffer
The Wookie's wicked clutch
The Theocrats
With cricket bats
Hezbo(llah)-lot's of
Love to give ya
Never take it back
A graver danger
You bouncing ravers
Medulla oblongata go
I'll see you all later
Hephaestus draggin'
One leg behind
And when the trap is sprung
The warrior loses his mind
Assassins trippin'
High on hashish
But honestly speaking, now
We all need the same relief
One day or another, kid
Our world will be gone
One day or another, kid
Our death will be done
One day or another, kid
Our world will be gone
One day or another, kid
Our death will be done
General quarters
You have your orders
Invisible Free-Masonry
Incoming mortars
The flyers landing
And are demanding
Keep on firing until
The last man standing
Stock cars and habits
Go round and round
But everybody scatters
When the Stock Market goes down!
Robber-Baronesses
Carpet-baggers-ese
But honestly speaking, now
We all got the same disease
I'm afraid the hunt's been canceled
The game never showed
All the world was penciled
On this foreboding note
Force gettin' ready
Man, begat too much
All the world will suffer
The Wookie's wicked clutch
Open to Floors
Imported marble
Victorian drawers
They go between
Bucolic scenes
Machavellian
And all the lesser name schemes
Greyhounds and rabbits
Go round and round
But everybody scatters
When the Hindenburg goes down!
Robber-Baroness-es
Carpet-baggers-ese
But honestly speaking, now
We all got the same disease
I'm afraid the party's canceled
The servants never showed
All the world was penciled
On this foreboding note
Force gettin' ready
Man, begat too much
All the world will suffer
The Wookie's wicked clutch
The Theocrats
With cricket bats
Hezbo(llah)-lot's of
Love to give ya
Never take it back
A graver danger
You bouncing ravers
Medulla oblongata go
I'll see you all later
Hephaestus draggin'

And when the trap is sprung
The warrior loses his mind

One day or another, kid

One day or another, kid
Our world will be gone
One day or another, kid

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."
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.
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.
Man, these lyrics are ALL messed up. The thing is, Neil Fallon, being the incredible poet that he is, writes with a TON of double entendres and obscure references to things in literature, popular culture, etc. and basically, if you don't know what those references are, you will ALWAYS misinterpret the lyrics. I have yet to find a correct version of the lyrics to this song on the internet. Now, I don't pretend to know them all myself, but I do know quite a bit of the correct ones for this song, and with that said, I'll try to give my best transcription of them. I'll also try to comment to back up what I think he's saying or what I know he's saying.... here goes nothing.
Two oaken doors Open to floors Imported marble Victorian chores
Van Gogh-betweens (mixing Van Gogh and the word go-betweens) Bucolic scenes (bucolic means pastoral, or dealing with the countryside, which much of Van Gogh's art definitely was) Machiavellian and all the lesser-named schemes
Greyhounds and rabbits go round and round but everybody scatters when the Hindenberg goes down
Robber Baronesses Carpet Baggers-ese But honestly speakin' now we all got the same plisses ( - mispronunciation of the french word. It's a way to make pleated fabrics, sort of ties into the carpet bagger reference above)
I'm afraid the party's cancelled - What? The servants never showed - Damn! On the wall was penciled A most foreboding note
Forest getting ready Man begat too much All the world will suffer The Wookie's wicked clutch
The theocrats With cricket bats Hezbollotta love to give (Hezbollah and a lot of love mixed into one word... the irony is that Hezbollah is regarded as a terrorist organization, not one known for "love", and they advocate a theocratic state, based on Islam. Ties into the previous lines) you never take it back
A graver danger (You bounce and rape her? bouncing raver? not really sure on this one) Medulla oblongata go (oblongata go... gotta go... another mixed metaphor and might be the key to the previous line but I don't get the connection yet. ) I'll see you all later
Ole Festus draggin' one leg behind (okay, nobody is gonna know this, but Festus was the name of a character on Gunsmoke, who limped.) And when the trap is sprung The warrior loses his mind
Assassins trippin' High on hashish But honestly speaking now, We all need the same relief
One day or another, kid Our war will be gone One day or another, kid All death will be done One day or another, kid Our war will be gone One day
General Borders You have your orders Invisible Freemasonry Incoming mortars
The flyers landing And are demanding Keep on firing Until the last man standing
Stockcars in habits Go round and round But everybody scatters When the stock market goes down
Robber Baronesses Carpet Baggers-ese But honestly speakin' now We all got the same disease
I'm afraid the hunt's been cancelled The game never showed (game, as in what people hunt) On the trick was penciled A most foreboding note
Forest gettin' ready Man begat too much All the world will suffer The Wookie's wicked clutch
I think you've mostly got it sorted out, Pinhead. Here's what I think about what you've got:<br /> <br /> Victorian chores - This really sounds like "drawers" to me<br /> <br /> Ole Festus draggin' - I thought the line was "Hephaestus draggin'", Hephaestus being the Greek god of blacksmiths who had a pronounced limp. How that ties into the song, I don't know, unless it relates to the trap mentioned a couple of lines later.
@PinheadX <br /> I know I'm 12 years late to the party, but Festus Hagen did not have a limp. That was Chester Goode. Chester was Marshal Dillon's deputy before Festus.
Agree re: sorting.
I always thought it was "Victorian cross", aka the place he's describing has vaguely old-school pre-Nazi fascist symbolism....but on closer listening, I agree it has to be drawers or chores. Chores sounds closer to it, but makes less sense than drawers....maybe there's some rare word like "choars" that they're intending.
Agree that it has to be Hephaestus and not "Ole Festus".
Also, sounds like and has to be "bouncing raver".
The first verse sounds like it is describing typical rich people, and the choruses give a similar effect Hunting, greyhounds, rabbits, expensive things in their house,cricket, they are finished if the stock market has trouble and it is a wookie that will take everything.
I'm fairly certain its "I'm afraid the Party's Canceled" makes much more sense with the servants mentioned right after.
Hmmm... I am probably wrong, but my interpretation is that this is bashing that which we all hate and yet want to be... rich people
Greyhounds and rabbits Go round and round But everybody scatters when the Hindenburg goes down!
Robber-Baroness-es Carpetbaggers-ese But honestly speaking, now We all got the same disease
General Border is a character in the children's book "Drummer Hoff;" which, by the way, is fuckin trippy. I'm not really sure how that ties to the overall meaning of the song, though.
I think that this song is lamenting the way those in power exploit those beneath them within the contexts of religion and war. Come to think of it, that may be where the Drummer Hoff reference fits in (General Border gave the order and Drummer Hoff fired it off). The references to carpetbaggers, robber barons, and Hezbollah seem to support this.
The above lyrics are incorrect; it should be:
The Theocrats with cricket bats Hezbollot of love to give ya never take it back
I think in general, the lyrics are talking about how we humans are involved in all this unnecessary personal struggle and drama, chasing each other around like greyhounds and rabbits, while ignoring what we're doing to the rest of the world.
So while we keep hoping our war will be over and death will be done someday - that day approaches in another grimmer form.
And so eventually, while we're messing about with all this nonsense, from the forests (aka wild nature) will come our rectification. This is in the form of the implacable righteous wookie.
