@[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.
Everybody, soul and body cold
All this sickness, you lost control
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero
Look within me, am I evil though
Memories bring tears of years old
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero
Life, you take it
Lies, you fake it
Suffer, within me
Torn, you you break it
Life, Control it
Lies, withhold it
Suffer, you're skinny
Torn, you're wasted
Kids with defects
We're all rejects, so
Don't forget it, cold inside
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero
Break this take control
Take this I control it
Break this take control
Take this I control it
All this sickness, you lost control
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero
Look within me, am I evil though
Memories bring tears of years old
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero
Life, you take it
Lies, you fake it
Suffer, within me
Torn, you you break it
Life, Control it
Lies, withhold it
Suffer, you're skinny
Torn, you're wasted
Kids with defects
We're all rejects, so
Don't forget it, cold inside
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero
Break this take control
Take this I control it
Break this take control
Take this I control it

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour

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,
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this is my personal favorite off of shadow zone. To me, there isn't a specific theme in this song, but there are a lot of good points: one being that we should think for ourselves and stop listening to lies other people tell us and take control of ourselves.
THIS IS THE BEST SONG STATIC X HAS EVER MADE. THE LYRICS IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND BUT HAS THE BEST MUSIC IN IT
not really...
Mild chorus correction.
Life - you take it Lies - you Fake it Suffer - It in me Torn - you break it Life - control it Lies - withhold it Suffer - you're skinny Torn - you're wasted
I know most people who are into Static X are likely to be all round metal heads, and not in the least bit open minded about music...eventhough they'll stick to the fact that they are, but anyway...I foudn that you can do the melbourne shuffle hardcore style to this song, and it's actually freaking awesome!! I think I just discovered a link between industrial metal and rave/hardstyle!! Wooot!
Hey, I think the lyrics are right as posted, I think he does say "within me." Oh and about the song, heres a weird thought that occurred to me one day. It might be about a person with a deadly disease (cancer seems most fitting) since he refers to sickness, defects, being skinny and wasted and how something takes the life out of you: Life - you take it: self explanatory Lies - you fake it: the doctors/family trying to mitigate the seriousness of your condition to comfort you Suffer - within me: the suffering cancer causes and how it stems from inside the patient and normally not an outside cause (except lung cancer and mesothelioma which are usually caused by smoking and asbestos exposure) Torn - you break it: refers to how cancer treatment basically "tears" you apart in order to "break it" and beat the disease Life - control it: for your life to resume, you must control the cancer Lies - withhold it: "give it to me straight doc" Suffer - you're skinny; Torn - you're wasted: self explanatory, you suffer, youre skinny and wasted from treatment etc... Well im rambling (mainly because this song is awesome and i love to analyze it) but the lyrics in this song seem to support my theory so im only going to interpret the chorus. Disclaimer: this is a very unconventional way of interpreting this song and i must add i posted this theory just to get the readers to think outside the box for shits and giggles, I personally think this is one of those songs that's open to interpretation from the listener. But for the record my theory is pretty well-supported, is it not. Awesome tune, one of Static-X's best, even though I LOVE all their music and this band is probably my favorite metal/evil disco group.
