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.
Oh, he's a moody old man.
Song of summer in his hand.
Ooh, he's a moody old man.
In, in, in his hand.
In his hand.
Delius,
Delius amat.
Syphilus,
Deus,
Genius, oh.
To be sung of a summer night on the water.
Oh, on the water.
"Ta, ta-ta!
Ta, ta-ta!
In be, Fenby!"
To be sung of a summer night on the water
Oh, on the water.
On the water.
Song of summer in his hand.
Ooh, he's a moody old man.
In, in, in his hand.
In his hand.
Delius,
Delius amat.
Syphilus,
Deus,
Genius, oh.
To be sung of a summer night on the water.
Oh, on the water.
"Ta, ta-ta!
Ta, ta-ta!
In be, Fenby!"
To be sung of a summer night on the water
Oh, on the water.
On the water.

Holiday

@[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
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."

SOLAR MONOTHEISM: Reaching Out for the Sun...
Phoibos [Apollon], of you even the swan sings with clear voice to the beating of his wings, as he alights upon the bank by the eddying river Peneios; and of you the sweet-tongued minstrel, holding his high-pitched lyre, always sings both first and last. And so hail to you lord! I seek your favour with my song. ~ Homeric Hymn 21 to Apollo

The Black Sun: The Alchemy and Art of Darkness (Marlan, 2005) tamu.edu/upress/BOOKS/2005/bigmarlan.jpg Book Description "The black sun, an ages-old image of the darkness in individual lives and in life itself, has not been treated hospitably in the modern world. Modern psychology has seen darkness primarily as a negative force, something to move through and beyond, but it actually has an intrinsic importance to the human psyche... "He draws upon his clinical experiences and on a wide range of literature and art to explore the influence of light and shadow on the fundamental structures of modern thought as well as the contemporary practice of analysis. "An important contribution to the understanding of alchemical psychology, this book draws on a postmodern sensibility to offer insight into modernity, the act of imagination, and the work of analysis in understanding depression, trauma, and transformation of the soul."
The similarities are indeed striking! It makes me wonder about the origins of the 'sun-masked man' icon. Maybe the cover was used on another book which the Bush family owned? Maybe the cover is from an old Masonic source. There is what looks like a Palm Tree on the cover, which can be interpreted as a Freemasonry symbol, as can be the sun-disc.
The cover to The Black Sun is so like the Kate and Paddy Bush 'Delius' video, and very much suggests solar worship. The Sun is prominently featured on the AERIAL cover. The back cover to TKI and NFE both feature sunset with moon; and LIONHEART features a solar lion moving its slow thighs...
Reaching out for the Star Reaching out for the Star that explodes Reaching out for Mama See how the flower leans instinctively Toward the light...
