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 lie alone...We gotta roll, we gotta roll... the captain spotted a threat... and he told the gunner to engage and the gunner - engaged and destroyed that target... We're not used to being shot at]
I lie alone
The fog surrounds me and I know that it's not right
I must escape this awful state of night
So here I thread
Standing still without a face of sight to thread
The noise completes the pictures in my head
You learn you must surrender
It's taken time for you to realize
That what you felt was not forever
You find you must surrender
...and now you see the world with no disguise
It takes you in its grasp forever
[since then we've seen alot of-of-of bombs and missiles going off and the last one that hit so close to us, it was very - eye-opening]
The rain pours down on me
The clarity I sought would make us free
But in the depths of fate the answers trapped beneath this mud of hate.
I cast abrey the cause that brought us to this place,
yet here we pause.
And in the fear of dawn,
the innocense I dreamed about is gone
You learn you must surrender
It's taken time for you to realize
That what you felt was not forever
You find you must surrender
And now you see the world with no disguise
...it takes you in it's grasp forever
You find you must surrender
And now you see the world with new eyes
...the love you felt was not forever
You find you must surrender
It takes the truth of now and never
...it takes the truth of now and never
I lie alone,
The rain poors down on me
The clarity I sought would make us free
But in the fear of dawn
the innocense I dreamed about is gone
I lie alone
The fog surrounds me and I know that it's not right
I must escape this awful state of night
So here I thread
Standing still without a face of sight to thread
The noise completes the pictures in my head
You learn you must surrender
It's taken time for you to realize
That what you felt was not forever
You find you must surrender
...and now you see the world with no disguise
It takes you in its grasp forever
[since then we've seen alot of-of-of bombs and missiles going off and the last one that hit so close to us, it was very - eye-opening]
The rain pours down on me
The clarity I sought would make us free
But in the depths of fate the answers trapped beneath this mud of hate.
I cast abrey the cause that brought us to this place,
yet here we pause.
And in the fear of dawn,
the innocense I dreamed about is gone
You learn you must surrender
It's taken time for you to realize
That what you felt was not forever
You find you must surrender
And now you see the world with no disguise
...it takes you in it's grasp forever
You find you must surrender
And now you see the world with new eyes
...the love you felt was not forever
You find you must surrender
It takes the truth of now and never
...it takes the truth of now and never
I lie alone,
The rain poors down on me
The clarity I sought would make us free
But in the fear of dawn
the innocense I dreamed about is gone

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
There are several mistakes in this interpretation; I'd point out that Chiasm's official website has lyrics to all of her songs, but those aren't entirely accurate either.
"So here I thread Standing still without a face of sight to thread" should read: "So here I tread Standing still without a phase of sight to dread"
"I cast abrey the cause that brought us to this place," is actually: "I gasp to breathe the cause that brought us to this place"
Finally, the last two lines of the final chorus- "It takes the truth of now and never ...it takes the truth of now and never" should be: "And now you see the world with new eyes and face the truth of now and never"
(And while this isn't as much of an issue, you misspelled "innocence" twice and "pours" once.)
