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.
I lie in your soother arms, lord Hypnos
Your garment alive with your song
I lie in your soother arms, lord Hypnos
Steep the spiral to your far abode,
In the wake of slumber, on visions I rode
And fell like history through the chasm of ages
Into the charged, forbidden zones
How I have searched
Through a million worlds and faces
Yet unaware, I have not found
My own true face, traceless and profound
So, find me in these grandiose halls
Where long ago summers eternally fall
And tune the strings of truthful longing
To the frozen music of gods
Hypnagonia's lucid horizons
Play with the yearning I've quelled
As I strike towards the Pantheon
And what therein is held
Your garment alive with your song
I lie in your soother arms, lord Hypnos
Steep the spiral to your far abode,
In the wake of slumber, on visions I rode
And fell like history through the chasm of ages
Into the charged, forbidden zones
How I have searched
Through a million worlds and faces
Yet unaware, I have not found
My own true face, traceless and profound
So, find me in these grandiose halls
Where long ago summers eternally fall
And tune the strings of truthful longing
To the frozen music of gods
Hypnagonia's lucid horizons
Play with the yearning I've quelled
As I strike towards the Pantheon
And what therein is held

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.

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.
To understand Lord Hypnos you must understand the band behind the song.(this song is sort of part 5 out of a 20+ song epic story about trying to fathom existence). (lunar strain - jester race) However Lunar Strain Starts where Jester race Ends, which means they kind of Terrintino'd It and wrote it out of order.
1.Lets start with Jester Race(album)because it is the first part. The first Song is Moonshield. This is an extremely abstract song, and how the story begins. A Man is sacrifeced and with his last moments of life stares at th heavens. The shield/moon represents what is just beyond his understanding. The shield now broken, than man yurns to go back to the joys of life again but he cannot. ( his body is buried under rocks)
2.Artifacts of the black rain - best lyrics, Digging through the earth making friends with the soil(sums it up) (the man is still burried underground)
Graveland... Pure death. The man is no longer part of our world.
LORD HYPNOS- Finally a resting place for the man. Nothing can touch him he is safe inside this intoxicating slumber. Inside this dreamworld the universe is simple, Time and Space become non existent. The Mans soul feels no pain as he dives into the dimensionless infinity.
Dead Eternity - What was once a Man is no more. Maddening Emptiness. And abastract entity remains in the mans place.
Jester Race - The realization that we are all fools. The human race is a joke when looked down upon from. The Entity mocks mans ignorance and is disguted by the shell of its former self.
That is most of what I get out of The jester race. The story continues to get bigger and bigger and more abstract. The enitity feels every emotion fathomable from agonizing pain to euphoria multiplied by infinity, the purest fires engulf the entity "In Flames" His soul now sits upon a throne beyond all time existence and relevence. The entity is now god completly trancended , It simultaniously feels nothing and everything and has no will, only answers.
