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.
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
You try this trick and spin it
Your head will collapse but there's nothing in it so you ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except for the fish and it told me
I swear its trying to talk to me
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
You try this trick and spin it
Your head will collapse but there's nothing in it so you ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
You try this trick and spin it
Your head will collapse but there's nothing in it so you ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except for the fish and it told me
I swear its trying to talk to me
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
You try this trick and spin it
Your head will collapse but there's nothing in it so you ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
ummm darkapathy this ain't the version they play in fight club.
This is a cover of a Pixies song
an awesome version, too
yes. a very good cover.
love this version as well
there is a million covers of this song.
I love this song, especially when it plays at the end of fight club when all those coporate buildings are getting blown up
Sounds almost nothing like the original, but it is different in a good way. I love the acoustic guitar in this version, but the original is possibly the best song ever.
wow,i really want to hear this i love the original version times a million
i heard this one first and then i got all confused when i heard the pixies version.. i think i like this one better... someone told me that another australian band did a cover.. cant remember which one tho.. this as a reeaaally good song to chill out with, as are most songs done by nada surf covered or not
