You hold me close naked, I don't feel a thing
Your zippers are the cherry, but I don't feel anything
Your mind is stranded down now, I am closing you in my arms
And I prefer overweight than plastic any day

Hug me 'til you drug me, honey, hug me anyway
Your eyes are dusty, dirt porn magazines
You're lazy, selfish, but you were raised that way
It's a whore that here was bred
I'll take your pants, you take my hair, and let us dance
And cheers to happy and depressed

Hug me 'til you drug me, honey, hug me
Drug me 'til you love me, honey, love me any, wait, wait
I swear I've seen that face before
It's the very face I fell for in the human race.
I can't lie, I was brainwashed to be honest
In this brave new world that slowly passes by

I'm a girl learning to act as planned
I was programed to be Catholic but I ran
I changed my race, I changed my name
I prayed to them, "Please, what is brave"
I am loyal because I was simply raised that way

Hug me 'til you drug me, honey, hug me
Hug me 'til you suffocate me, honey, hug me any, wait, wait
I swear I've seen that face somewhere before
It's the very face I fell for in the human race.
I can't lie, I was brainwashed to be honest
In this brave new world that slowly passes by

By the way, I never really liked your hands on me
Never liked your ideas of what's beautiful or real or truly holy
And I must say, you've thrown your apathy away
Grown back into your diapers, will you die first,
Before admit the truth

Wait, wait.
I swear I've seen that face somewhere before
It's the very face I fell for in the human race
I can't lie, I was been brainwashed to be honest
In this brave new world that slowly passes by
I can't lie, I was brainwashed to be honest
In this brave new world that slowly passes by
I can't lie, I was brainwashed to be honest
In this brave new world that slowly passes by

Wait, wait.
I swear I've seen that face somewhere before
It's the very face I fell for in the human race
I can't lie, I was brainwashed to be honest
In this brave new world that slowly passes by.

    It's about Brave New World =].

    "You hold me close, naked, I don't feel a thing Your zipper's all but cherry, but I don't feel anything Your mind is stranded down I'm closing you in my arms And not grow overweight and plastic anyday"

    The first verse I think is from John's perspective when Lenina tries to have sex with him, but then it seems to go to Lenina's when it says "and not grow overweight and plastic anyday?"

    All of the hug me till you drug me honey parts are also from this part in BNW when Lenina tries to get with John and she's saying this to him (Isn't she on soma at this point too?..They're always on soma, but I think she took extra to have more confidence?). I think it's also a song in the World State.

    "Your eyes are dusty dirt porn magazines You're lazy, selfish, yeah you were raised that way It's a hole that he was bred I'll take your pants, you take my hair And let us dance and choose the happy and depressed"

    John's point of view of course. "Lazy, selfish, yeah you were raised that way" could be anybody in the World State, but my guess says Lenina because of "your eyes are dusty dirt porn magazines." The last line totally confirms its John because he claims everything good and bad unlike most of the characters who would rather just have the good and live in this "utopia"

    "Wait, wait I swear I've seen that face somewhere It's very face I fell for in the human race I can't lie, I was brainwashed to be honest In this brave new world that slowly passes by"

    I can't say too much about this I'm still trying to figure it out for myself, but to me it seems like Lenina. The last line however is John.

    "I'm just a girl learning to act as planned I was programmed to be Catholic, but I ran I changed my race, I changed my name I prayed to them, please, what is brave? I am loyal because I was simply raised that way"

    The first line sounds like Lenina, but the next one sounds like John because only he knows about things such as religion. What's puzzling to me though is that is says programmed. John wasn't programmed, he wasn't brought up in the World State so idk. The fourth and fifth line are from John because he prays and seems like this sort of humble person. He is faithful because he was brought up as such.

    "By the way, I never liked your hands on me Never liked your ideas of what is beautiful Or really truly holy I must say you've thrown, your apathy away Go back into your diapers Will you die first? Before you admit the truth"

    Obviously Lenina towards Bernard. She tells Fanny she likes his hands(lying?)and she hates Bernards way of thinking. He's this sort of outcast and thinks of things differently than everyone in the World State. The sixth and seventh line is a connection to John's suicide at the end?

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
