じゃあ 行くぞー
じゃんけんぽん!

They tell me keep it simple, I tell them take it slow
I feed and water an idea so I let it grow
I tell them take it easy, they laugh and tell me "no"
It's cool but I don't see them laughin' at my money though

They spittin' facts at me, I'm spittin' tracks, catch me?
I'm spinning gold out my records know you can't combat me
They tell me Jesus walks, I tell them money talks
Bling got me chill, 'cause I'm living in an ice box

They tell me I've been sleepin', I say I'm wide awake
Tracks hot and ready so they call me mister e-z bake
They say the grass is greener, I think my grass is dank
Drivin' with a drank on an empty tank to the bank

Do you feel me? Take a look inside my brain
The people always different but it always feel the same
That's the real me, pop the champagne
The haters wanna hurt me and I'm laughin' at the pain

Stayin' still, eyes closed
Let the world just pass me by
Pain pills, nice clothes
If I fall I think I'll fly
Touch me, Midas
Make me part of your design
None to guide us
I feel fear for the very last time

They tell me that I'm special, I smile and shake my head
I'll give them stories to tell friends about the things I said
They tell me I'm so humble, I say I'm turning red
They let me lie to them and don't feel like they've been misled

They give so much to me, I'm losing touch, get me?
Served on a silver platter, ask for seconds they just let me
They tell me I'm a God, I'm lost in the facade
Six feet off the ground at all times I think I'm feelin' odd

No matter what I make, they never see mistakes
Makin' so much bread, I don't care that they're just being fake
They tell me they're below me, I act like I'm above
The people blend together but I would be lost without their love

Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?
When you become untouchable you're unable to touch
Is there a real me? Pop the champagne
It hurts me just to think and I don't do pain

Stayin' still, eyes closed
Let the world just pass me by
Pain pills, nice clothes
If I fall I think I'll fly
Touch me, Midas
Make me part of your design
None to guide us
I feel fear for the very last time

Lay still, restless
Losing sleep while I lose my mind
All thrill, no stress
All my muses left behind (left behind)
World is, below
So high up, I'm near divine (I'm so high up)
Lean in, let go
I feel fear for the very last time

    I think this song tells about the people around becaouse it is describing how some people therat others.

    The song is about The Living Tombstone being praised as a god and acts like he is above other people because they forgot that he is an ordinary person

    My Interpretation

    I think it's meaning is about someone getting depressed due to losing his own identity due to them being too popular, causing them to commit suicide (as seen with the final chorus section) the person clearly has trouble even sleeping or even thinking just because of this, and he's been trying to cope with "pain pills and nice clothes" but that didn't help with the situation. The protagonist (probably TLT themselves) clearly wants to stop this whole charade but it won't stop.

    My Interpretation

    I like to think that the song is surrounding a villain, he would be the protagonist in this case, he’s ruled the world for so long that it’s seeming to get boring and he is starting to go insane. The song is separated into three parts being separated by:

    Stayin' still, eyes closed Let the world just pass me by Pain pills, nice clothes If I fall I think I'll fly Touch me, Midas Make me part of your design None to guide us I feel fear for the very last time

    The first part talks about how he is invincible. Eg: 1.They spittin' facts at me, I'm spittin' tracks, catch me? I'm spinning gold out my records know you can't combat me They tell me Jesus walks, I tell them money talks Bling got me chill, 'cause I'm living in an ice box

    1. That's the real me, pop the champagne The haters wanna hurt me and I'm laughin' at the pain

    The second part talks about how he realises and copes with going to insanity. Especially this part: 1.Can you heal me? Have I gained too much? When you become untouchable you're unable to touch Is there a real me? Pop the champagne It hurts me just to think and I don't do pain

    Then the final part is simple yet deep concluding the song and the protagonist’s life with suicide: Lay still, restless Losing sleep while I lose my mind All thrill, no stress All my muses left behind (left behind) World is, below So high up, I'm near divine (I'm so high up) Lean in, let go I feel fear for the very last time

    If you’ve read this much, thank you for your time.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
