Everywhere everywhere everywhere
It's all so plain it's all a plan
The sky doesn't ever end
The air just gets much thinner further up

You could keep diggin' down and down
A thousand graves down without turnin'
Around or finding hell
You find you're digging up again

Everywhere everywhere everywhere
Willful suspension of disbelief

    wow, dancingbears that seems very plausable. when he talks about the sky never ending, it could be seens you will never find heaven. and digging down, you will never find hell. and the name of the song cause you need to duspend your disbelief to have faith in religion.

    Well in the title of the album "everywhere and his nasty parlor tricks," "everywhere" sounds as if it isnt referring to a place but a characters name, and you often hear people say that god is everywhere. I wonder if this is a play on the word and so god is the character "everywhere"

    what a rad song im not to sure what its about but it seems like its saying you can look for something and spend your whole life looking for it but that if its something unatainable something that you cant really get that one thing you want but cant have it just seems like your going in circles

    yeah, this is my favorite song by mm, yeah, i agree about the heaven and hell theme, i thought the same thing first time i read the lyrics, you can never find heaven or hell no matter how far you go.

    While the heaven and hell thing makes a lot of sense, I don't know if it is entirely plausable given the fact that Isaac Brock is a very outspoken atheist. He states that clearly in many of the songs, so I'm just not sure if that factor fits in.

    That's what atheist means; someone who doesn't believe in heaven and hell and all that stuff. That's what this song is saying; that you're not going to find heaven or hell no matter how far you dig or how high you go up because they don't exist. And even though Isaac says that he's atheist I dont think it's entirely true. From what I got from some of his other songs, it would seem like sometimes he would like to believe that there is a heaven, cause it's a pretty depressing thought that there will be no afterlife after you die. I'm the same way.

    i think its about what zouyan said and also maybe how amazing and wierd the thought of "everywhere" is.

    "The sky doesn't ever end The air just gets much thinner further up"

    "You could keep diggin' down and down A thousand graves down without turnin' around or finding hell You find you're diggin' up again"

    maybe the cd title is Everywhere And His Nasty Parlour Tricks because the thought of "everywhere" helped create religion.

    hahaha this is all random thoughts that are almost for sure wrong.

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."

Plastic Bag
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.
