I rage this war against myself and
I'm not the only casualty no ones leaving this play alive
This play of mass tranquility curtain call and then
I walk curtain drops I stumble fall tripped by my material needs
I look out to the gawking creed silent

Whisper becomes a roar
I pick myself up off the floor
And I was forced to bow down to a crowd laughing at me
I rage this war against myself and
I'm not the only casualty take ten paces back and
Fire and see who falls first to their knees don't hunt
The man that's lost his feelings because he will die alone and
Waking waiting for someone to serve him but I'll bite the hand
That tries to feed me and I raise my hand high above the others
In the call for truth.
But invisible boy can't speak he screams awake at night
With all these feelings can they have some meaning what am
I trying to prove we raise our hands for the fight the
Fight in which we'll lose this blind man won't lead the
Blind because this blind man knows no more than you we pray
For change but I can't pray a heart worth none in this
Senseless age a fortress lost in one short toss ashes to
Ashes we all fall what a surprise when you look in my eyes
Did you expect something more from me this grand disguise
Look in my eyes is it not what a mans suppose to be look in
My eyes disguise teach a boy just what to be look in my eyes
Disguise you prayers took this freedom locked from me is this
Freedom on his knees this child lies.

    I have no idea why, but I'm addicted to this song. I don't even know how I came across it...I think the first line says it all.

    This is probably my fave song by this group... so amazing. Too bad they changed their style and name (to Elliott, if you didn't know).

    This is my favorite song-and now that I actually found the lyrics-I love it even more! Anyway, it signifies torture, embaressment...all these kinds of emotional feelings that make the song intense...I don't know any other way of describing it...I thinkit relates to a lot of people. The people who are being pushed around and laughed at...that's how I think it means to me-and maybe to others as well.

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."

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
