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.
This is not novelty
This is nothing delicate
This the result of your Google search for something relevant
Stake claim immediately
'Cause hot products cool down
At which point they'll flock to new sounds
Take fame intravenously
But when leisure turns to habit
I'll be sure to leave the scene you started staging
This is nothing fraudulent
This is that joy shot itchy feeling lingering behind your target audience
You got them all convinced, but we ain't buying it, buddy
Demand for lies is high, and you're supplying it
Truth is brutal; it consumes you if you let it
Type that in your little away message and set it
[Chorus]
Keep singing songs
That I could write in my sleep
It's like I'm counting sheep
Keep singing songs
Man, you are a lead but trouble not to be
Keep singing songs
Just follow the leader with your blah, blah, blah
Keep singing songs
That I could write in my sleep
It's like I'm counting sheep
And this is not a fashion statement, it's delegate intuition
Far beyond your bed wetter kindergarten compositions
This is a part of me
How can you sleep at night when what you don't write you write half heartedly?
Go join the army
And be the best you can be
Give a new meaning to blowing up over seas, please!
We kick those boys down when nobody would let us in
And give you that proverbial taste of your own medicine
We took your formula and relabeled it
And sat patiently and giggled when you drank it
Street voice and street cred run just about the same
Pop bottles and drop names
And you'll dismiss it 'cause it ain't what ya used to
But who the fuck died and made you king cobra?
[Chorus]
Wow, congratulations on your new purchase
I heard you bought a crib on biters block
Downtown plagiarism's paradise
You're not a movement, you're purely amusement
The poster boy for Xerox and a role model for parasites
You serve no purpose, you're purely decorative
And bore us to death with your auditory sedatives
No, we don't sleep
And hog tie your runaway bride with cold feet
We built this city on lock and load logic
And burned it down the same night
So go ahead and put your tears on ice, baby
I think we got a winner
And kiss your crucifix; your boy's a certified sinner
[Chorus]

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.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I really want to know who/what this song is directed too. It's a little angsty, at least for normal Gym Class Heroes songs.
Someone find out!
Sorry OneSecondRegrets, but i just listened to this beat fo da first time and GOTTA comment on da fat beat!! And that hook is the shizzle.
I personally thought this song was about Fall Out Boy, but I have little evidence. The only line that made me think that was when he said to put your tears on ice. I might be wrong.
read these lyrics...then read gym class heroes.
Are we growing up or just going down It's just a matter of time until we're all found out Take our tears and put them on ice I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
We're the therapists pumping through your speakers Delivering just what you need We're well read and poised We're the best boys We're the chemists who've found the formula To make your heart swell and burst No matter what they say, don't believe a word
Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
We're traveled like gypsies Only with worse luck and far less gold We're the kids you used to love But then we grew old We're the lifers here til the bitter end Condemned from the start Ashamed of the way The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts
Are we growing up or just going down It’s just a matter of time until we’re all found out take our tears and put them on ice I’d burn this city down to show you the light There’s a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up And another around to help us bend your trust I’ve got a sunset in my veins And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay
The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie," I hope you sing along and you steal a line I need to keep you like this in my mind So give in or just give up
this song is not about fob, i think its about pop music in general, just sayin, there are a lot of people out there not doing original shit, just playing what they hear.... ps "but who the fuck died and made you king koopa" not cobra
this song is not about fob, i think its about pop music in general, just sayin, there are a lot of people out there not doing original shit, just playing what they hear.... ps "but who the fuck died and made you king koopa" not cobra
It is definitely not about FOB, both bands get along really well.
"This is that joy shot itchy feeling lingering behind your target audience" should be "This is that sure shot itchy feeling lingering behind your target audience"
"It’s like I’m counting sheep" should be "It’s like a copy sheet"
"And this is not a fashion statement, its delegate intuition" should be "And this is not a fashion statement, its eligant intuition"
"How can you sleep at night when what you don't write you write half heartedly" should be "How can you sleep at night when what you don't bite you write half heartedly"
at least that's how it sounds to me and please note I'm not trying to bring you down cause there are still a few I'm not sure what the heck is being said!
sorry thats "This is that sure shot itchy FINGER lingering behind your target audience"
My bad!
im almost positive that this song is directed at all of the lame one-hit wonder rappers that have made millions writing songs that a 8 year old with a bad mouth could write.
