Feet to hip
Leaf to breast
Throat to brain
And skin arrange

Now we're one soul

Reviving memories
To every blade of grass, the universal path
A primal energy
A creation is born, unsympathetic chords

Hearing Adam's murmur
A Sanskrit alphabet
Unholy apple tree
Seven flowers

Feet to hip
Leaf to breast
Throat to brain
And skin arrange

holes in our trunks
I tap her to test
Harmony within
A merciful creation

Hearing Adam's murmur
A Sanskrit alphabet
Unholy apple tree
Seven flowers

Feet to hip
Leaf to breast
Throat to brain
And skin arrange

Feet to hip
Leaf to breast
Blood to brain
And skin arrange

Now we're one soul

    I actually sent Paul a email about this song because I wanted to 1. see how on point I was with my interpretation (It is a song dealing with the creation of man, and Astral Projection through meditation) and 2. Hear the truth, so with out further a due...

    "Adam's Murmur is very much about what your describing, along with the chakras or "energy centers" in the body. Chakras in sanskrit are defined as "wheels". The teacher / author Carolyn Myss was a source of inspiration. Hope this helps a little!"

    -Paul

    It can be broken down really simply but still an exquisite piece of music

    Feet to hip Leaf to breast [This is Naive to Breast] Throat to brain And skin arrange (creation of man from the ground up)

    Reviving memories, to every blade of grass, the universal path A primal energy, a creation is born, unsympathetic �chords? [I believe this lyric is on sympathetic chords.]
    (A journey through projection is began and takes the traveler back to the creation of man, the universal path is the path in which one follows to arrive at their destination when projecting and is also the path that every man must walk as a human being.)

    Hearing Adam's murmur (Later in the song it is mentioned that he taps his heart and feels a hole in his chest, the murmur is a heart condition that would lend its self to sounding as if their is a hole in the heart or a missing piece.)

    A sanskrit alphabet (The language mentioned in his email, tying the songs ideas/theme of Chakra and Hinduism to the more Christian story of creation, this also ties the beliefs of "one soul" to the song by merging the practices and beliefs of two separate religions.)

    Unholy apple tree (reference to the story of creation and the source of man's distance from god, our initial sin)

    Seven flowers (the seven chakra points of the body, and natural energy)

    �holes in our trunks [I believe this is "a hole inside my chest"] I tap her to test? [and this I think is "I tap my heart to test"] Harmony within A merciful creation

    (If I am correct about the lyrical change it could be making reference to the rib removed from Adam to make Eve, tapping his heart to test that his new mate is real and not a dream. She brings to him a harmony that he had previously not had and was a creation born of god's mercy, feeling Adam's need for companionship. OR... the hole is a heartache caused from the folly of man and detachment from god. He taps his heart to test that he is still alive and well after the pain of separating himself from God has hit him so hard Then he is put in a state of harmony upon realizing he is still whole. We are truly a merciful creation and even though we go against gods will he is still understanding of our choice because he gave us free will.)

    Now we're one soul (we are all traveling on the same path as one collective humanity, one soul.)

    at least that is what I got out of it.

    There's a reference to the chakras here. They mention seven "flowers". The flowers represent the 7 main energy centers of the body

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
