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.
Is this just another day, this God forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain let the games begin,
Questions rise and answers fall, insurmountable
Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear, here
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough
All you need is love
Is this just another phase, earthquakes making waves,
Trying to shake the cancer off, stupid human beings,
Once you hold the hand of love, it's all surmountable
Hold me, and make it the truth,
That when all is lost there will be you,
'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word I still believe
And it's love
It's an art to live with pain, mix the light into grey,
Lost nine friends we'll never know, two years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?
And the young, they can lose hope 'cause they can't see beyond today,
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,
Constant recoil, sometimes life
Don't leave you alone
Hold me, and make it the truth,
That when all is lost there will be you
'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's
Love, love love love love
Love boat captain take the reigns
Steer us towards the clear
I know it's already been sung, can't be said enough
Love is all you need, all you need is love,
Love, love
First comes love, then comes pain let the games begin,
Questions rise and answers fall, insurmountable
Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear, here
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough
All you need is love
Is this just another phase, earthquakes making waves,
Trying to shake the cancer off, stupid human beings,
Once you hold the hand of love, it's all surmountable
Hold me, and make it the truth,
That when all is lost there will be you,
'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word I still believe
And it's love
It's an art to live with pain, mix the light into grey,
Lost nine friends we'll never know, two years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?
And the young, they can lose hope 'cause they can't see beyond today,
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,
Constant recoil, sometimes life
Don't leave you alone
Hold me, and make it the truth,
That when all is lost there will be you
'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's
Love, love love love love
Love boat captain take the reigns
Steer us towards the clear
I know it's already been sung, can't be said enough
Love is all you need, all you need is love,
Love, love

Holiday

@[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
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."
