This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Bones are feeling sleazy
Head spinning around
Spend the night with Josef Goebbels
Think I'm coming down
Life isn't easy
Thru having fun
Spent the night with Heimlich Himmler
Think I'm on the run
Always done the best
of everything around
flew the plane for Rudolph Hess
I've landed upside down
Always have to have
something in my head
Shot cocaine with Hermann Göring
now I wish I was dead
Head spinning around
Spend the night with Josef Goebbels
Think I'm coming down
Life isn't easy
Thru having fun
Spent the night with Heimlich Himmler
Think I'm on the run
Always done the best
of everything around
flew the plane for Rudolph Hess
I've landed upside down
Always have to have
something in my head
Shot cocaine with Hermann Göring
now I wish I was dead

Hayalperest
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."
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
It's pretty straightforward that this song is about the Nazi regime under Hitler - it sounds to me like Dylan is putting himself in the place of someone who can't stand the atrocities that he is committing simply by associating with his high-ups.
I'd almost like to say that it's written from the point of view of Hitler himself, had Hitler actually thought like this, but the third verse throws me off because it's in reference to Hess' solo flight to Scotland to negotiate peace talks - some people have a conspiracy theory that the person flying the plane wasn't actually Rudolph. It certainly wouldn't be Hitler, cuz the guy that flew the plane got arrested by the man whose property he parachuted onto after he bailed out of the plane.
In any case, good damn song.
I actually feel some "after too many drugs" vibes from the music and lyrics. It feels like a metaphor, "living with the high command" (which is said at the end of the song), rolling with all these powerful people, being at their party in a way, being part of their destruction and command and their whole trip in general, so lost in it you don't know what you're actually doing, its like getting so fucked up night after night that you don't know what you're doing, and then you "come down" and you see the destruction after it's done, and that you fucked yourself over in the process. The 'High Command' (which could be a pun) offers a power trip in their presence, but really they're just murderous psychopaths and their power trip was an illusion that got you high.
Does that make sense to anyone else?
@JofaGuht Fucking word man.
i've just listened the live version and carlson introduced it as "a song about needles and history channel", what made me think it is about taking heroine while tv is on the history channel..
kinda makes a better sense than "he was among the third reichs people"
someone know the meaningh??
