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.
Begging like you might take order in your own hands
I stare, it seems like I don't care, drop
a chance in your hands then
I know that bad's got to fix itself, correct over time
And I know 'cause I've got the cure, I've
got a cure for your crimes
All I dreamed up, all that seemed like luck seems silly to you now
All I said to you, all I did for you seems so silly to me now
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Screaming like no one might call the cops and arrest you this time.
Standing back against my building's back
door
I you're hoping for a ride.
I know the world's been mean to you, I've got a cure, hold tight.
I know the world's not fair to you, I've
got a cure for it's crimes
All I dreamed up, all that seemed like luck seems silly to you now
All I said to you, all I did for you seems so silly to me now
Oh oh when you say it
So so slowly to me
Oh oh well I keep going
Oh no I ran while knowing
No no I know you need it
So so I need it too
And oh oh I must keep going
So so you must too
Oh oh when you say it
So so slowly to me
Oh oh well I keep going
Oh no I ran while knowing
No no I know you need it
So so I need it too
And oh oh I must keep going, so you must too
I've got a cure, I've got the cure for you
All I dreamed up, all that seemed like luck seems silly to you now
All I said to you, all I did for you seems so silly to me now
All I dreamed up, all that seemed like luck seems silly to you now
All I said to you, all I did for you seems so silly to me now
I've got a cure, I've got the cure for you
I've got a cure, I've got the cure for you
I stare, it seems like I don't care, drop
a chance in your hands then
I know that bad's got to fix itself, correct over time
And I know 'cause I've got the cure, I've
got a cure for your crimes
All I dreamed up, all that seemed like luck seems silly to you now
All I said to you, all I did for you seems so silly to me now
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Screaming like no one might call the cops and arrest you this time.
Standing back against my building's back

All I said to you, all I did for you seems so silly to me now
Oh oh when you say it

And oh oh I must keep going

So so I need it too
And oh oh I must keep going, so you must too
I've got a cure, I've got the cure for you

All I dreamed up, all that seemed like luck seems silly to you now
All I said to you, all I did for you seems so silly to me now

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
Radiohead
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This is based off of the live version found on Youtube. I realize these may not be correct, so I greatly appreciate any help in deciphering the lyrics -- especially the ones I couldn't get. I'm not too sure about the section with the ((???)) at the top and bottom.
