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.
I should be calling collect from jail
For the things I commit each night in my head
Like last night in my sleep I got to snuff you
But then I woke up again, safe in my little bed
No one is safe when I close my eyes I come to take your life
I get to force your untimely disappearance
Each night in my dreams, when I'm fast asleep
I close my eyes, and you just vanish soon as I
Lay down my head when I'm dead to the whole wide world
No one is safe when I close my eyes I come to take your life
And then I wake up again and it was all just a dream
And everything is the same
(Sleepwalker) Did I give you concrete shoes
And throw you off of a bridge?
(Sleepwalker) When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul's mine to keep I feel you near me
Go to sleep, Sleepwalker
Just taking a stroll; don't go to sleep!
Here's some toothpicks for your eyes!
You always make an excellent cadaver
I roll your body up in a carpet to make music in the
Trunk of my limousine, wrapped up in a rug
A fitting end is that I send you up the river like a punk
No one is safe when I close my eyes I come to take your life
The angel of death is pissed off at me again
Just because I got to put you out of my misery
It doesn't matter; I am without fear
Now you're dead; I won't shed another bloody tear for you
No one is safe when I close my eyes I come to take your life
I'm calling down the thunder, then you'll sleep with the fishes
The answer to all of my wishes
(Sleepwalker) Did I tell you I was in movies
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch?
(Sleepwalker) Everyday, another way
I know you can hear me
I think you'd look nice in a Colombian necktie
Should stop your tongue from wagging the dog
No more stupidity from you, as I pull your tongue through
For a smile from ear to ear, now there's nothing to hear
No one is safe when I close my eyes I come to take your life
And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
And everything is still the same
(Sleepwalker) Did I give you concrete shoes
And throw your body off of a bridge?
(Sleepwalker) When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep I feel you near me
(Sleepwalker) Or did I tell you I was in movies
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch?
(Sleepwalker) Everyday, another way
I know you can hear me
(Sleepwalker) Did I buy you the farm
Put a horse head in your bed?
(Sleepwalker) When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep; I feel you near me
(Sleepwalker) Everyday
Everyday, another way
(Sleepwalker) When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep; I know you can hear me
(Sleepwalker)
(Sleepwalker)
(Sleepwalker)
(Sleepwalker)
For the things I commit each night in my head

Each night in my dreams, when I'm fast asleep

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“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.
