Fallen Angel

The State

I'm never gonna be one of the beautiful people
You do you and I'll do me
Paralysing kings and the righteous type
Your so close to healing the weak
Silent movements and silent minds
Go and take it out onto the street
As your looking down your nose at the parasites
Your venom is beginning to peak

And I've met a fallen angel and he's stole my soul
Tells me things that I don't really wanna know
Yeah I've met a fallen angel and he's stole my soul
Likes to control my thoughts now I can't get home

With dirt on your knees and blood on your hands
They wanna give you something you can believe
Overexposed to the undertow
You quickly say your piece and leave
I never knew a shift was happening
This way of life just seemed to be
Now it feels like I can't stop falling
And it feels very wrong to me

And I've met a fallen angel and he's stole my soul
Tells me things that I don't really wanna know
Yeah I've met a fallen angel and he's stole my soul
Likes to control my thoughts now I can't get home

As I walk through the valley of death
As I walk through the valley of death
As I walk through the valley of death
As I walk through the valley of death
The valley of death
The valley of death
The valley of death
The valley of death
The valley of death

I've met a fallen angel and he's stole my soul
Tells me things that I don't really wanna know
Yeah I've met a fallen angel and he's stole my soul
Likes to control my thoughts now I can't get home
I've met a fallen angel and he's stole my soul
Tells me things that I don't really wanna know
I've met a fallen angel and he's stole my soul
Likes to control my thoughts now I can't get home..can't get home!

You watched me walk through the valley of death
You watched me walk through the valley of death
You watched me walk through the valley of death
You watched me walk through the valley of death

3,2,1 Go!

    Beautiful song, I've only heard it on streaming radio a couple of times and can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Mountain Song
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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
