    "kill everyone now" is a line of Divine's in Pink Flamingos, I think the song is about the movie to an extent, in that it sort of makes the same point that the movie made - that we seem to glorify the worst qualities in us (greed, etc.). At least that's what I get out of it.

    GhostTiger, i never made that connection to pink flamingoes, which is SUCH A GREAT FILM. The only line i can honestly recall from it is the scene where they have the "evil-doers" of the plot tied up "convicting them of Asshole-ism" an excellent line!

    for me this song is comparable to the last track on "you kill me" release, "paradise". which is about being your average human who works a minimum-wage job, upon which the employee becomes disgruntled with the people they work with, customers and co-workers alike. working in a grocery store for a year plus i can feel these "McJob" lines such as "would you like fries with that ma'am?". NOMEANSNO is a band that will never get recognition for their musical/lyrical accomplishments. i will honestly say that i hope it stays that way, they are a diamond in the rough, to use a cliche phrase, they are better off being respected 100% in the underground then being thrown away in a culture that values mediocrity and stupidity in a modern culture that should be about expanding the minds of those who live in it.

    thank you NOMEANSNO. you are truly a gift to those of my generation

    i have to add the comment that this site is truly an amazing idea. for me, TRUE MUSIC is on the same plane as art has been to others in the passed (expressionists, dadaists, surrealists) and its immportant for channel for people to be able to discuss their interpretations of meanings of songs with others, since after all songs can't be hung on walls and displayed in galleries.

    I thought it was a dig at the police, given the "Oh look, a Dunkin' Doughnuts" at the end.

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
