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.
Rush faster on the one-way lane
The answers so silent
Rusty gods in their machine-minds armors
Grind our souls in the millstone of time
The "deathbed harvest" is dead man's banquet
Of mold ridden bread and black, poisoned wine
And we go...our steps so silent
And we go...our blooded trace;
The Jester Race
Calling our to the gathered masses;
Their answers so silent
And we go...
Embracing the tools of the neo-wolf age
That speak of silence and silence alone
Offering the tokens, the relined idols
To the heirs of the newly raped ground
Inferior even to the transparent winds
Lesser in motion and sound
And we go...
There is no trace of me
In their altered blueprints of life
Gaia impaled on their horns and lances
To fumes from her body give case
As the throng of blind mind savor the scent,
Dream-dead from prosaic and hate
Sun wind strokes the electroheart,
Ignition roars through the corridors,
Stream launching the binary vessels
Vanities in extreme formations
Ride into tomorrow's rigid futile scripts
Of our dying jester race
The answers so silent
Rusty gods in their machine-minds armors
Grind our souls in the millstone of time
The "deathbed harvest" is dead man's banquet
Of mold ridden bread and black, poisoned wine
And we go...our steps so silent
And we go...our blooded trace;
The Jester Race
Calling our to the gathered masses;
Their answers so silent
And we go...
Embracing the tools of the neo-wolf age
That speak of silence and silence alone
Offering the tokens, the relined idols
To the heirs of the newly raped ground
Inferior even to the transparent winds
Lesser in motion and sound
And we go...
There is no trace of me
In their altered blueprints of life
Gaia impaled on their horns and lances
To fumes from her body give case
As the throng of blind mind savor the scent,
Dream-dead from prosaic and hate
Sun wind strokes the electroheart,
Ignition roars through the corridors,
Stream launching the binary vessels
Vanities in extreme formations
Ride into tomorrow's rigid futile scripts
Of our dying jester race

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
i think it may have something to do with comparing the "exploits" of man to simple distruction, and idiocy. i also noticed a couple of references that were picked up in Whoracle: the dead man's banquet metaphor was used in Food for the Gods, and the neo-wolf thing was used in Gyroscope, the ElectroHeart thing was used in Jester Script Transfigured...there're prolly more, but those were the ones i noticed...
...and we go... continually raping all the ground we come upon, and replacing nature with machines... joining along in the jester race...the race which will lead to the end... to ultimate dystopia... it will be episode 666...
i kinda joined the concepts of Jester Race and Whoracle there, but they could very well be parralelle
man,i like the way you think,i've seenyourpost on some in flames song lyrics and i think you interpret them very well.
