hands that kill, mold illusions of peace//their fucked up psuedo-security//destroy to give birth to technology//to quicken the killing of you and me and him an dher//blind. us humans think we are so smart//creating challenges//how. our sky bleeds in your hands//it's nothing//build and build and build some more//industry fucks nautre like some kind of whore//quest for invention intelligence gone too far//synthetic environment we're doomed from the start//and i guess we're all gonna die//(my home)//and take everything under teh sky//(it's nothing...to you)//skies they bleed infecting the land//oceans they vomit, onto the sand//wind so foul, a putrid reek//animals they scream in disbelief//and i guess we're all gonna die//(our lives)//and take everything undert he sky//(are nothing...just used)//humanicide//humanicide//black trees, dead seeds, dirt weed,//how much longer do we have??//humanicide//human beings should have never evolved at all//your heart..your heart as cold as teh concrete that you lay//your mind..clouded with the pollution that you make//hide..lies..from all of us, the ones you have chosen to die//smother the earth, blacken the skies//your quest for progress, convenient demise//man..kind..to whom are you kind?//the peace that you mold is a lie, a lie, all lies//our lives float rejected down the stream//they're nothing, not you or me

    hell yes, anti-civilization at it's core.

    This is about civilized humans' destruction (both of self and of others). We're fucking everything up.

    Read Endgame.

    There’s not enough bands like dystopia that are able to radicalize Anticiv/misanthropic ideals even further… noothgrush, carcinogen, ecocide, grief are a few good ones though.

    This song just obviously talks about destroying the earth for the sake of more technology. They kill us and destroy everything but humans still think that they’re the smartest. Nature gets fucked every day and we start using synthetic environments and solutions for the problems we made. Animals suffer and the earth is wounded but “I guess we’re all gonna die” so what’s it matter? Mankind is kind to Noone.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
