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.
Who's ever known
How much to moan and groan
And quiver inside?
He needs to give you
Everything you need.
Is it enough?
You're running out of time
As it grows in your eye
Feel broken inside, you feel
Sigh, static moans
A storm growing strong
And it's coming my way.
Still she gives you
Everything you need.
Is it enough?
You're running out of time
As it grows in your eye
You'll feel
Broken inside, you'll feel
And I'll feel
Broken inside you.
Feel (feel)

How much to moan and groan
And quiver inside?
He needs to give you
Everything you need.
Is it enough?
You're running out of time
As it grows in your eye
Feel broken inside, you feel
Sigh, static moans
A storm growing strong
And it's coming my way.
Still she gives you
Everything you need.
Is it enough?
You're running out of time
As it grows in your eye
You'll feel
Broken inside, you'll feel
And I'll feel
Broken inside you.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Awesome song. Listen to it full blast on a good Hi Fi and you'll be amazed! :D
Indeed. Awesome song. I just heard it for the first time. It's actually called 'Spiritual Static', not 'Spiral Static' :)
No, it's ACTUALLY called Spiral Static. Sorry hun.
That comment was made five years ago. Do you genuinely think Loesje is going to care?
I do believe Loesje is going to care and genuinely learn from this experience @tabikatt.
Huh? This is weird. Just looked at the box again. The booklet says 'spritual static', but on the back of the box it says 'spiral static' :S
I love this! It really is great if you blast it out as loud as you can.
It's definately called Spiral Static, I have a newer version and it doesn't say Spiritual Static anywhere on the case or the booklet.
As far as the lyrics are concerned...a guy who neglects a girl emotionally perhaps?...sorta gives that impression.
The lyrics look awful sexy to me, it looks like its describing sex?
sounds to me almost like prostitution or something. a guy going to a call girl because he needs sex to feel better, she's just as broken as him and he wonders if she can give him enough. in the end both will feel just as broken because the guy could've cheated on his girlfriend, wants sex just to feel worthy, feel better, etc. and the girl gave him sex because it's technically her job, and who's to say she's even in the business because she wants to be in it?
it's definitely Spiral static -- i've never seen it as "Spiritual" and in the lyrics it says "spiral".
I think its about a relationship in which the girl expects too much from the boy, while the boy doesn't really appreciate what she does for him. It probably devolves into just a mess of a relationship because of those problems.
best muse song ever.
i think it may be about the singer who is witnessing a couple in a realationship thats about to end. For exapmle, when he says "he needs to give you" and "still she gives you" he is talking to the girl and the guy in the relationship, respectively. Other than those lines, he is talking about the relationship in general, and how he is witnessing it about to end.
"Who's ever known how much to moan and groan, and quiver inside" This could be asking who knows what one should feel under such circumstances, being the imminent breakup.
"You're running out of time...as it grown in your eyes...feel broken inside" Here he is saying that the couple may be beginning to realize the end of the relationship is near, the realization that its over is growing in their eyes and they feel broken inside.
"A storm growing strong and its coming my way" This could possibly mean that the couple could make it a messy breakup and may get the singer involved somehow.
This song is made of epic. I love the deepness in Matt's voice .I love :
"a storm growing strong"
That part melts me, tell you what it makes me quiver inside ;D
