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.
Sometimes I feel a baby nipping softly at my heel
A reminder of how fat and scared you love to make me feel
The curse of such a fetching fraud without a soul to speak
Inspired thirty songs I could have written in my sleep
You snort a line of syphilis and run the marathon
Your mentally deficient friends just ask you what you're on
I may be shy and not reply to your scathing review
But I'd rather subsist on venom
Let him stay with you
Oh I'll be fine
Sever this for all time
I'll laugh it off when this ends
You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends
I was the kind to ask what wrong doing had injured Dahmer's pride
Or to excuse the junkie thief with diamonds in his eyes
But now I taste a righteous fury sparkling with hate
While you diddle this earth up and then kvetch "Mommy, it's too late"
I'll bite your head off, spit it out, and let it plunge away
You and all your kind won't stamp your future on today
The beat thumps loud you sweat it out and grind on them for drugs
You hug that pole like a firefighter falling in love
Oh I'll be fine
Sever this for all time
I'll laugh it off when this ends
You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends
Oh I'll be fine
Sever this for all time
I'll laugh it off when this ends
You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends
Never another song, never another thought
Never another song, not for you
Never another song, never another thought
Never another song
Oh I'll be fine
Sever this for all time
I'll laugh it off when this ends
You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends
I'll be fine
Sever this for all time
I'll laugh it off when this ends
You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends
Get high with all of your dumb friends
You were my crutch, now I've escaped your clutch
So how is that worms-eye view?
I have grown two broad wings and now I'm above you
A reminder of how fat and scared you love to make me feel
The curse of such a fetching fraud without a soul to speak
Inspired thirty songs I could have written in my sleep
You snort a line of syphilis and run the marathon
Your mentally deficient friends just ask you what you're on
I may be shy and not reply to your scathing review
But I'd rather subsist on venom
Let him stay with you
Oh I'll be fine
Sever this for all time
I'll laugh it off when this ends
You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends
I was the kind to ask what wrong doing had injured Dahmer's pride
Or to excuse the junkie thief with diamonds in his eyes
But now I taste a righteous fury sparkling with hate
While you diddle this earth up and then kvetch "Mommy, it's too late"
I'll bite your head off, spit it out, and let it plunge away
You and all your kind won't stamp your future on today
The beat thumps loud you sweat it out and grind on them for drugs
You hug that pole like a firefighter falling in love
Oh I'll be fine
Sever this for all time
I'll laugh it off when this ends
You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends
Oh I'll be fine
Sever this for all time
I'll laugh it off when this ends
You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends
Never another song, never another thought
Never another song, not for you
Never another song, never another thought
Never another song
Oh I'll be fine
Sever this for all time
I'll laugh it off when this ends
You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends
I'll be fine
Sever this for all time
I'll laugh it off when this ends
You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends
Get high with all of your dumb friends
You were my crutch, now I've escaped your clutch
So how is that worms-eye view?
I have grown two broad wings and now I'm above you

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Great song, this whole album is very relatable. My take on this song is based on my own experience. I was "under the spell" of this girl so to speak. She was the type that buys into all of the current social trends only not to an extreme extent. In the beginning it seemed like she held all of the cards. She was always the "popular girl" in my mind, years went by and we both grew up, me more than her. After being through enough and realizing she would never quite see things the way I did our roles become reversed in my eyes, I began to realize my individuality and difference from the rest of mainstream society is a gift rather than a curse. Its that glorious moment that is captured perfectly through the lines "You were my crutch, now I've escaped your clutch, so how is that worm's eye view? I have grown two broad wings and now I'm above you" To me Max Bemis will always be the 1st Max Bemis rather than the next Bob Dylan but with that being said its hard not to say Max isnt a Modern Day Dylan
loadertoad, spot on - all of it. As different as Max is from Dylan, he's the Dylan of our times. Enjoyed your comment C:
To me this is Max leaving drugs behind, but not forgetting where they took him (using a girl as the allegory "rather than abstain from you"). A better explanation is, we will never learn from our past mistakes if we keep burying and forgetting our history..
yellowcatredcat, I dont think he is looking down on the group. But more just the individuals that rely on substances to have a "good" time. You should be able to have an awesome time without drugs or alochol, while im sure most would agree they make it better, not necessary.
And there is just so many people that I would love to scream "How is that worms eye-view" wow best friggin metaphor ever.
This is incorrect, please fix. The lyrics are as follows:
Sometimes I feel a baby nipping softly at my heel A reminder of how fat and scared you love to make me feel A curse of such a fetching fraud without a soul to speak Inspired thirty songs I could have written in my sleep You snort a line of syphilis and run the marathon Your mentally deficient friends just ask you what you're on I may be shy and not reply to your scathing review But I'd rather subsist on venom, than abstain with you

You were my crutch, now I've escaped your clutch So how is that worms-eye view? I have grown two broad wings and now I'm above you
SkitzoTeeJay was nearly correct, but here are the 100% accurate lyrics from Say Anything's website (sayanythingmusic.com/lyrics). i put asterisks by the words and parts Skitzo was wrong about.
"Sometimes I feel a baby nipping softly at my heel. A reminder of how fat and scared you LOVED to make me feel. THE curse of such a fetching fraud without a soul to speak Inspired thirty songs I could have written in my sleep. You snort a line of syphilis and run the marathon. Your mentally deficient friends just ask you what you’re on. I may be shy and not reply to your scathing review But I’d rather subsist on venom. LET HIM STAY* with you.
I’ll be fine. I’ll sever this for all time. I’ll laugh it off when this ends. You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends.
I was the kind to ask what wrongdoing had injured Dahmer’s pride Or to excuse the junkie thief with diamonds in his eyes But now I taste a righteous fury sparkling with hate WHILE you diddle this earth up and then KVETCH, “Mommy, it’s too late!” I’ll bite your head off, spit it out and let it plunge away. You and all your kind won’t stamp your future on today. The beat thumps loud. You sweat it out and grind on them for drugs. You hug that pole like a firefighter falling in love.
Never another song. Never another thought. Not for you.
You were my crutch but now I’ve escaped your clutch. So how is that worm’s eye view? I have grown two broad wings and now I’m above you."
This song is so amazing. I can't believe people are not commenting on the songs from this new album. Every song so good and different. Def has old school Say Anything in it. Max is such a good song writer and is always improving but staying to his roots and thats what I love about him and this band.
"You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends." I love Max, but why is he suddenly looking down on people who smoke?
