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.
There’s this one hair on my head
And I’m not sure with it.. what to do
It has avoided the stylish hairdresser
And not succumb to cheap shampoo
And no matter how I crimp, bleach and dye
It cannot change… It will not compromise
It’s as stubborn as a concrete block
And far too clean to fully let me rock!
And It’s getting so damn long it’s almost down to my knees
And it pushes off good lovers when it blows in the breeze
And it’s getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
That no golden boy or girl can really take .. take control
I tried to cut it off for you, you found it ugly
And good lord! How it clashed with your shoes!
And the day we found it was made of wire
You took my bike and set my house on fire.
Now it’s getting so damn so long it’s almost down to my feet
And I bet before too long I’ll be tripping down the street
And it’s getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
And no bloody minded girl can really take.. take control
Since the day that I was born
It’s been growing like some wild safari horn
And they say I’ll lose it when I’m old and grey
But my old grandfather took a full head of hair to the grave
And it’s getting so damn long It’s trailing down the street
And the common kids make jokes and the art kids call the fashion police
And its getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
That no stu-stu-studio line can ever take control
And I’m not sure with it.. what to do
It has avoided the stylish hairdresser
And not succumb to cheap shampoo
And no matter how I crimp, bleach and dye
It cannot change… It will not compromise
It’s as stubborn as a concrete block
And far too clean to fully let me rock!
And It’s getting so damn long it’s almost down to my knees
And it pushes off good lovers when it blows in the breeze
And it’s getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
That no golden boy or girl can really take .. take control
I tried to cut it off for you, you found it ugly
And good lord! How it clashed with your shoes!
And the day we found it was made of wire
You took my bike and set my house on fire.
Now it’s getting so damn so long it’s almost down to my feet
And I bet before too long I’ll be tripping down the street
And it’s getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
And no bloody minded girl can really take.. take control
Since the day that I was born
It’s been growing like some wild safari horn
And they say I’ll lose it when I’m old and grey
But my old grandfather took a full head of hair to the grave
And it’s getting so damn long It’s trailing down the street
And the common kids make jokes and the art kids call the fashion police
And its getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
That no stu-stu-studio line can ever take control

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
LALA!! FUN!
What is the deal with hair? I believe PAtrick Wolf has got a sort of obsesion for hair, his own hair. There is no live gig I have attended where he doesn't mention his hair. Not to mention he is always stroking and touching it. Then I found out about this song....It's funny!!
I always thought that the in this song the hair was a metaphor for him. "It will not Comprimise"?
then again, he is ALWAYS touching his hair...
This song was written for a compilation on the emotionality of hair in art. Patrick has no obsession with his hair, only unbridled talent.
This may sound stupid but what the hell You know the line. "stu-stu-studio line" ? does he mean ' l'oreal studio line '. because thats a laugh =)
oh my god that's hilarious :) I won't be able to hear that line without thinking of that now
