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.
There's always a need for violence
Slowly singing to the somber sun
Give my regards to the ones you call your angels
Dusted I'm the only one
I need to deaden all my feelings
When you comes to you
And should you rise again
I'll have no choice but follow through
I need to deaden
All my feelings
Should you rise again
I'll have no choice but follow through
If threatened just know
I'll respond in kind
Say the word
The word is blind
If threatened just know
I'll respond in kind
Say the word
The word is attack
Say your lamentations
Set sail for hell or damnation
No honest words, on your lips
Confronted, think quick
I've used it
I've abused it
It's abused me
It's confused me
And consumed me
I've been destroyed by trust
My heart can't erase it
Now I'm so fucking wasted
I can taste it
I've been destroyed by trust
Heard you say there's no need for violence
As you slowly sickening walk away
Give my regards to the ones you call your angels
Dusted I'm the only one
I need to deaden all my feelings
When you comes to you
And should you rise again
I'll have no choice but follow through
I need to deaden
All my feelings
Should you rise again
I'll have no choice but follow through
If threatened just know
I'll respond in kind
Say the word
The word is blind
If threatened just know
I'll respond in kind
Say the word
The word is attack
Say your lamentations
Set sail for hell or damnation
No honest words on your lips
Confronted. think quick
I've used it
I've abused it
It's abused me
It's contused me
And consumed me
I've been destroyed by trust
My heart can't erase it
Now I'm so fucking wasted
I can taste it
I've been destroyed by trust
Trust no one
My heart
Can't erase it
Now I'm so fucking wasted
I can taste it
I've been destroyed by trust
I've used it
I've abused it
It's abused me
It's confused me
And consumed me
I've been destroyed by trust
By trust
Trust no one
If you apologize,
Will it all, just go away in my eyes
If you apologize
Slowly singing to the somber sun
Give my regards to the ones you call your angels
Dusted I'm the only one
I need to deaden all my feelings
When you comes to you
And should you rise again
I'll have no choice but follow through
I need to deaden
All my feelings
Should you rise again
I'll have no choice but follow through
If threatened just know
I'll respond in kind
Say the word
The word is blind
If threatened just know
I'll respond in kind
Say the word
The word is attack
Say your lamentations
Set sail for hell or damnation
No honest words, on your lips
Confronted, think quick
I've used it
I've abused it
It's abused me
It's confused me
And consumed me
I've been destroyed by trust
My heart can't erase it
Now I'm so fucking wasted
I can taste it
I've been destroyed by trust
Heard you say there's no need for violence
As you slowly sickening walk away
Give my regards to the ones you call your angels
Dusted I'm the only one
I need to deaden all my feelings
When you comes to you
And should you rise again
I'll have no choice but follow through
I need to deaden
All my feelings

Trust no one
My heart
Can't erase it
Now I'm so fucking wasted

I've abused it
It's abused me

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
"If you apologize, will it all, just go away In my eyes... if you apologize?!" - wrong lyrics.
This is the correct lyrics:
If you apologize, NO! Just go away In my life... If you apologize?!
@murderer Lyrics were copied, verbatim, from the liner notes. I just double checked, and that is what is written. I agree, though, it sounds wrong.
@murderer I take it back. I just went and listened to it and that's clearly correct.
@sinrise It's strange, i clearly hear "NO! Just go away in my life". <br />
@murderer I understand how it could sound like that. When I was copying the lyrics down, I had to double check because I thought the same thing at first. If you listen close, and think about what he's saying, "If you apologize will it all just go away in my eyes?" Some things can't be fixed with an apology, and whoever he has in mind with this, at some point, probably offered a lame apology and he's asking a rhetorical question. Does that make more sense?
@sinrise Yeah, well. Whatever
