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.
Wait, I'm feeling it again
(Wait, I'm feeling it again.)
Had lost touch from gut to head
'Til we crossed a path and met
And I got scared just for a bit
Because I had been doing alright
Without a someone in my sights
But I am changing and quickly
Why does it hurt when we invest
Into an excitable sense?
When waiting anxious for return
Getting pushed away discerns
But I am wanting to try it again
And let another someone in
They're saving me
I jump through a wall when
I pick apart faults that
I've made in the past
Caused affection to pass
I want to learn from mistakes
I want it to be OK if I hold on tighter
Don't be afraid to find a way
Communicate your thoughts when it's your own line
Better to know, get "yes" or "no,"
Than wonder if it wait
Wait, I'm feeling it again
Reminds me of being a kid
Jumping on every seat in a moving car
It's life like the movies where we are
On basement show weekends
Trying our hands at pop-punk bands
All music, sharing everything that means the most
I'm getting so nervous scripting out these thoughts
I'm hoping I really don't mess this part up
Communication's something I still don't get
But if you work with me I'm sure to make it
Don't be afraid to find a way
Communicate your thoughts when it's your own line
Better to know, get "yes" or "no,"
Than wonder if it was worth the waiting
I'm getting so nervous scripting out these thoughts
(Make something to you like you to me)
I'm hoping I really don't mess this part up
(To mean something that we both mean)
Communication's something I still don't get
(Mean something to you like you to me)
But if you work with me I'm sure to make it
(We have a lot in ourselves)
I jump through a wall when
I pick apart faults that
I've made in the past
Caused affection to pass
I want to learn from mistakes
I want it to be OK if I hold on tighter
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid when it's your own line
Don't be afraid to find a way
Communicate your thoughts when it's your own line
Better to know, get "yes" or "no"
Than wonder if it
Wait, I'm feeling it again
(Wait, I'm feeling it again)
That excitable sense
(I'm feeling it again)
I'm feeling it again
And it's my own line
Better to know, get "yes" or "no,"
Than wonder if it was worth the wait
How long will you offer me stability when I have none to give in return?
My only hope is that when winter comes to this lonely beach town this year
You'd be willing to make time for me again
You're what makes this place the closest thing I have to home
And I can't help thinking that maybe this won't last
But I am hoping that someday those thoughts will fade
And things will change for us
I know they can
(Wait, I'm feeling it again.)

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."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
what i got from this song had to do with jordan having somewhat of a relationship with someone back in their bay area hometown. "waiting anxious in return, getting pushed away this hurts"
i think whoever the other side of this song is trying to save themselves the constant grief of having thier loved one constantly leave for tour.
but towards the end of the song i think the times change and the other side (the person that stays in the bay area) starts making the best of the situation and decides they are worth it. and they are willing to wait for whoever is in set your goals to go on tour and come back. even if they are afraid of how much it hurts everytime they're gone (don't be afraid)
pretty far-fetched, and i read the actually meaning from the band. but this is just what i got out of the song
