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.
He was thinking it out
And started writing it down
The crazy thoughts in his head
He was on a roll to find his self control
But it was taking it's toll instead
Meanwhile outside as the normal crowd
Did their daily thing
They were caught in a swing
When they looked at their leaders
They were full of doubt
He couldn't figure them out
It was a journey down
Into his deepest dreams
Against the normal streams
Wasn't totally clear
But he knew it was here
What he was trying to be
Yeah
And outside his door
Was the camera light
That devouered the night
What a terrible sight
It was spilling grace
And wisdom over the crowd
Made them feel so proud
Walking - a member of the crowd
Talking - chit-chat without a doubt
Feeling - cancelled from the normal life
Living - on the shadow side
Out of the dark - I will dive into the light
I will - gonna rise up from the crowd
I will - be a star in TV land
That's right - be a hero for a day
I will - gonna fill the headline news
Yes me - with the things that I will do
Solution - for their senseless talk
I will - be a star in TV land
Shadow Walker
Silent dreamings, silent dreamings
And with a final thought
Of his new glory he sought
He felt the time drawing near
So when he started to dress
He knew he wanted his best
Took a look what he had in here
When everything was in place
He finally put on his face
A last and lovely smile
Keep it on for a while
Then he started to stroke
The pistol's cold black cheek
It was shiny and sleek
Walking - a member of the crowd
Talking - chit-chat without a doubt
Feeling - cancelled from the normal life
Living - on the shadow side
Out of the dark - I will dive into the light
I will - gonna rise up from the crowd
I will - be a star in TV land
That's right - be a hero for a day
I will - gonna fill the headline news
Yes me - with the things that I will do
Solution - for their senseless talk
I will - be a star in TV land
So he shot at the light
Paralizing the night
With the ordiance of might
It was over so fast
He walked out of the shadows
And then into the past
Oh yeah
Then it hit him so hard
Like a fallen star
And left a permanent scare
This is what you are
He'd become one of those
That he hated the most
Ruling a mindless crowd
Walking - a member of the crowd
Talking - chit-chat without a doubt
Feeling - cancelled from the normal life
Living - on the shadow side
Out of the dark - I will dive into the light
I will - gonna rise up from the crowd
I will - be a star in TV land
That's right - be a hero for a day
I will - gonna fill the headline news
Yes me - with the things that I will do
Solution - for their senseless talk
I will - be a star in TV land

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/
