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.
For every bullet in your gun we’ve got plan
To change the world and make it better
This song’s for everyone screaming from the pit
We are the soundtrack
We bleed together strong
Nobody here's pretending that we got this figured out
Some things are better unknown
We all got something that we feel better let it out
Before the whole thing blows
We've all
Been down this road before
Our history
It shows exactly what we're headed for
Can't save the world but you can always tend the neighborhood
I wanna live and die for something good
Emancipate the soul
Tell your brother he's not alone
Cuz life's too fucking short to become victims of each other
We are the story of the animal and the machine
We are more than just life
We are serrated by the things we always hated
So what's the point of all
The dogs
Layin’ at our feet
These battle songs
Playing on repeat
Ocean tides
Crashing at our knees
As the stranger in us all finds comfort
Somewhere in the heart of the machine
Gutter angels played guitar when you couldn't sleep
You’re the reason you’re the consequence
You howl cuz you’re goin’ mad
In the chaos of this consecration a room without a view
Time will only take from us
What we knew we’d always lose
We are the story of the animal and the machine
We are more than just life
We are serrated by the things we always hated
So what's the point of all
The dogs
Layin’ at our feet
These battle songs
Playing on repeat
Ocean tides
Crashing at our knees
As the stranger in us all finds comfort
Somewhere in the heart of the machine
To change the world and make it better
This song’s for everyone screaming from the pit
We are the soundtrack
We bleed together strong
Nobody here's pretending that we got this figured out
Some things are better unknown
We all got something that we feel better let it out
Before the whole thing blows
We've all
Been down this road before
Our history
It shows exactly what we're headed for
Can't save the world but you can always tend the neighborhood
I wanna live and die for something good
Emancipate the soul
Tell your brother he's not alone
Cuz life's too fucking short to become victims of each other
We are the story of the animal and the machine
We are more than just life
We are serrated by the things we always hated
So what's the point of all
The dogs
Layin’ at our feet
These battle songs
Playing on repeat
Ocean tides
Crashing at our knees
As the stranger in us all finds comfort
Somewhere in the heart of the machine
Gutter angels played guitar when you couldn't sleep
You’re the reason you’re the consequence
You howl cuz you’re goin’ mad
In the chaos of this consecration a room without a view
Time will only take from us
What we knew we’d always lose
We are the story of the animal and the machine
We are more than just life
We are serrated by the things we always hated
So what's the point of all
The dogs
Layin’ at our feet
These battle songs
Playing on repeat
Ocean tides
Crashing at our knees
As the stranger in us all finds comfort
Somewhere in the heart of the machine

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/
