Abandon this search for an ultimate reality
Your words only used to conceal the true meaning
Never speaking from the heart
As you've built a wall of lies, silence falls

Awakened all that you despise
These lies, our chosen roles
Force-fed your values and your goals
Why? You won't see

Truth : unity
Bound eternally
Reincarnation of the eternal soul
This struggle forever in our blood boils

Withstanding these attacks
Lay waste to all your claims
Kept chained no longer
Finding strength in all your shames

These lies our chosen roles
Force-fed your values and your goals
Why? You won't see
Truth: unity

Bound eternally
Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity
Forgiveness for those who stray

Protection through unity
These lies, our chosen roles
Force-fed your values and your goals
Why? You won't see

Truth : unity
Bound eternally
Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity

Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity

    Thats funny, cause this song just played on my shuffle on the way to work, and i pretty much just came here to mention how nasty this solo is.

    Self righteousy metal/harcore lyrics.....they're everywhere. Satisfaction is the Death of Desire is filled with them...not saying thats bad or anything (well, it can get a little tiring) but it's not so shrouded in symbolism or metaphor. Get tight with your crew, protect each other. Those who've fallen off - well, forgive them - and fuck all this shit about what we're "supposed" to do or be.....cause that ain't metal.

    You could probably make an argument for it being about the industry....recording wise. Record label values and goals. Sticking to you mates but not holding it against those who've compromised for money or fame. Thats a stretch though maybe.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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 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/
