This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The sun is in the sky and it is gonna be a glorious day
Ah
So pour yourself a coffee
Put your clothes back on and tell me your name
Now hearts are getting broken but I guess it's what they call growing up
We don't expect results because the kids around here don't give a
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters at all
When all your dreams are shattered everything is beautiful
Nothing ever happens
They think we waste our lives but they're wrong
We're moving on
Yeah
Everybody knows
You know the ship's going down
Everybody knows
Ooh
We're sailing cherries around
Everybody knows we're gonna die in this town
Yeah
Hey
Woah
Oh
Oh
My voice is gone for screaming and my body aches from giving them hell
Na na na na
Na na na na
You gotta know the truth that we're not in this for the cash but it helps
Na na na na
(Whoa)
(Oh)
Na na na na
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters at all
When all your dreams are shattered everything is beautiful
Nothing ever happens
They think we waste our lives but they're wrong
We're moving on
Yeah
Everybody knows
You know the ship's going down
Everybody knows
Yeah
We're sailing cherries around
Everybody knows we're gonna die in this town

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.
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."

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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
seems like a pretty wicked song. i like it already !
omg comment virginity stolen! :) me and my mate ryan love this song! it sounds like danny sings "and my body aches from giving them head" xXxSophiexXx
nah, it's definately 'hell'
I slighty agree with the comment from emobear07. It dies in with the obscene way this song goes. I love McFly for that.
are you listening? it's definately hell!
lol i thought it was head too, but it is hell XD
yeah, i think it's 'hell', but it's SO 'shit' not 'ship'! Why would they be singing about a ship going down? Listen to it really closely! (if you're as sad as me haha..)
Uhh.. It makes sense with a ship going down? Haha.. But anyway..
On the cd it is "ship", but ive watched the live versions many many times and I swear it sounds exactly like "shit". So maybe theyre doing the same thing as they did with 5 Colours, when they sang "phone" on the cd and "bone" at their concerts which it was obviously meant to be haha. But yeah awesome song :)
it's ship NOT shit... honest
It is 'hell'... But 'head' sounds so much funnier... ;)
I love this song! Tom said its just about growing up and starting a band (cos they were quite young when they started) and what it was like, and how they just had fun with it all etc :)
