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.
Shh the baby is sleeping
A blind date with CNN a click ouch
A click of beer man, that's the 10 year old
Motherfucking deep space evil
Nine milliemeter white noise television
Fucking 3am gotta wonder if the roach was
Invented in my kitchen shut the fuck up
Don't wanna hear that shit backwards
With the volume up to keep it all out we-
Na na na na we don't-
We don't like it when the
City lights start fading
When the city lights fading then
We can't get down (Okay)
We don't like it when the
City people act crooked
When the city people crooked then
We can't get down (Okay)
We don't like it when the
City pigeons break wings
When the pigeons break wings then
We can't get down (Okay)
We don't like it when the
City fire starts spreading
When the city fire's spreading then
We can't get down (Nope)
Zook up in it, crook with a cord
With a cord with a two tonne gimmick
Deep space evil nine millimetre gimme
Damn needle point in this pin cushion family
Hot dam at the NY resin
I soaked the bad air, the smoke we sold
Wild style, child’s smile like a moby cobra
Low key dozer revoked me ultra
Choked out bolts to promote the ulcer
Chug dro, bear hug wrote the folk lore
See the mangy branch off
Strange when he willow
Weep till the face go paisley
We don't wanna babble on the bad brains
Dum dum brainiac bust out, girder
Flushed out
Touched with a lush burn curdle in the dirt
Like it's bingo night at the earthworm church
Bang
Clash with the ants and termites
Ride ‘til the wheels fall off the dirt bike
Well I still hold dimes by the caseload
Hide the prescription, Miller said I’m stable
A R strike the pause
Put the flaws in a box with a- fuck off
Mallet for the media, mallet for the laws
Dragging a mallet through the
City when he walks
Subliminal is so nineties, get wit it
I'm more like bird watch then a mobster look
It goes dem’s good deeds
Stomach churning, round 2, quick
South of the sternum
What it is now, verse what it was
Beat myself till the pain came up
Dork faced boy got apocalypse charm
With a yellowy grin, metal thin, metal limb
Metal kicks kiss metal bricks, kiss metal
Meddle with this: an anti bliss missile
Close to the fire when I bare skin lie
Leave me the idiot box I’m fine
But if I gotta see
Another roller skating parrot
On Animal Planet on a needle point eye
Eye to the needle, clean set of chompers
Made me a demo tape, mingle of the mobsters
Go ahead y'all flap y'all jaws
Aes stick with it 'til their face fall off
And the evilest of nine's
Guaranteed to shoot crooked
And the evilest of nine's
Guaranteed to shoot crooked
And the evilest of nine's
Guaranteed to shoot crooked
And the evilest of nine's
Guaranteed to shoot crooked
Off your fucking mind shoot crooked
We don't like it when the
City lights start fading
When the city lights fading then
We can't get down (ok)
We don't like it when the
City people act crooked
When the city people crooked then
We can't get down (ok)
We don't like it when the
City pigeons break wings
When the pigeons break wings then
We can't get down (ok)
We don't like it when the
City fire starts spreading
When the fire's spreading then
We can't get down
I met a girl with an angel face
And two devil horns pokin' out
Maybe with her brains replaced
She said walk to the store with her, okay
Bought a carton of squares
I think I fell in love today
Now whats a pretty little thing
Like you doing walking
With a condor circle when
The city lights fade
Dead walk only to redig the graves
And make it big enough to
Fit TVs and microwaves
Oh, she didn't say shit (nup)
Smiles that could melt the
Gloss off your whip
And before I could ask her
About her high wire
Homegirl walked face first straight
Through the fire
Kill the pigs and poke the lump with a fork
If it all bleeds y’all need
To shut the oven door
Here half worm dirt in the mouth
So it's raining mud when the tongue lash out
Cool, beans, perfect, dope
Like Aes with a rafter and 6 feet of rope
Paradox spill out hate in all sections
You can get fucked when
You standing at attention
And the evilest of nine's
Guaranteed to shoot crooked
And the evilest of nine's
Guaranteed to shoot crooked
And the evilest of nine's
Guaranteed to shoot crooked
And the evilest of nine's
Guaranteed to shoot crooked
Fix the fucking antenna
We don't like it when the
City lights start fading
When the city lights fading then
We can't get down (Okay)
We don't like it when the
City people act crooked
When the city people crooked then
We can't get down (Okay)
We don't like it when the
City pigeons break wings
When the pigeons break wings then
We can't get down (Okay)
We don't like it when the
City fire starts spreading
When the fire's spreading then
We can't get down (Okay)
No doubt
He ain’t, he ain’t got a gun in no shoebox
Face to the floor drop it
Still carry the evilest nine weapons
A blind date with CNN a click ouch

Little Feat
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”
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

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.

i haven't a clue what this song means. It sounds like one of my old crazy friends at state u. would say when he was drunk. He was what you would call a "rant drunk." He'd start talking about all kinds of stuff. It would sound cool, because of how he talked (his vernacular and his way of talking) but it made no sense.
idk what its about ether but i think they did it on perpus and omni that's sounds like lodes of fun!!!
