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.
blissful wishes, floating in the clouds
i see ambition killing us i've found
justified decisions knocking me down
can't stop this piston, flooded engine.
distant misses common excuses
captured a glisten of a smile that makes me smile
now i've looked all around me
and i am still deciding
who has listened to the strength in my sanity.
i know this is not alot, it comes two fold
and i'll swallow every drop, it's like strictnine
mixed with cyanide.
i thought i tried
i lost my mind.
so pure, not so, so sure i will go
good intention for bad predictions
i thought i tried
thought you'd remember me from two days for two weeks
you laughed and i smiled my heart can't forget now
i lost my mind
i thought i tried.
one time not silent
the one next to you is not the one to blame
come we're all sitting here in a circle of shit
a million miles of shit
covering the ground.
the love you plan, it still erases.
i know this is not alot, it comes two fold
and i'll swallow every drop, It's like strictnine
mixed with cyanide
i know i believe in God
it shows too slow but
you're all i've got
cause it still feels good to be different.
different from you, i thought you knew
i tried my hardest to keep you alive
thought you would be honest, thought you would be true
but it all turns my way it all turns to gray
nothing to left to say, nothing to say.
colors so sad it will make you cry, lost in the innocense i'm lost in you.
stumbled and fell down
nothing left to do but look around us in the end
we look for something to use
we look for something shove
some we take as its handed
some we take for granted
but some weren't lucky enough
some weren't blessed enough to be standing on the line
inside and everyone
as their name is called
this is a roll call
this is a roll call.
tell me what is real
tell me what's the difference
everything is shit
just like your pale face
scared by the vision of everything
turning to fire underneath your blisters
everything is shit.
i see ambition killing us i've found
justified decisions knocking me down
can't stop this piston, flooded engine.
distant misses common excuses
captured a glisten of a smile that makes me smile
now i've looked all around me
and i am still deciding
who has listened to the strength in my sanity.
i know this is not alot, it comes two fold
and i'll swallow every drop, it's like strictnine
mixed with cyanide.

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."
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I, personally, think this is one of the best songs ever written, musically. Anyone else feel this way?
Just wanted to note a small, small, small mistake in the lyrics. On this part: "i know this is not alot, it comes two fold and i'll swallow every drop, it's like strictnine mixed with cyanide. "
It should be "like it's strictnine mixed with cyanide", not "it's like strictnine mixed with cyanide."
i think this is a good song....good song
TakingBackSundayy: I agree with you, I'm amazed that they didn't get signed as soon as this cd was out... btw, tbs is also an excellent band :)
