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.
can you tell me doctor
why i still can't get to sleep
(i don't know my problem, but i wanna find out)
and night times just a jungle
with my soul out on the street
and what's this pain that comes and goes
can u tell me what it means
god help me i'm only 19
what the fuck are people asking for blood
i hope your ready
im shooting at helicopters with my trigger finger steady
these record exec's asking for my right to creativity
i get the nod from lui
and so the lyrics are then left up to me
yo, i say what i like do what i like you love it
say what you like do what you might, fuck it
this stereotypical day and age has got me sick
these aussie rappers stay in line so people
hangin on their dick
i've never gone with thre line, so u can like it or not
but like it's gonna knock me off
when im the defenition of pop
my whole crew my bomb squad
with lui as drill sergeant
under k-9 entertainment into war
we straight marchin
now everytime i make decisions
im trippin over my older written
verses with these curses bout shit
that wasnt descriptive
enough ive had enough
as shallow as one gets
writing derogitory words he knows hes gonna regret
im talkin bout my own emotion
war within my own devotion to expose
the true beneath this cloak of no composure
im chosen
to prepare the people properly for this prophecy
of perfect parables and paragraphic psychology ugh
so understand the next man cause he got his own view
but when it is left to two parties then it is bound to be blew
outta proportion throw'n caution out the window
not to the wind
funny how beginings link directly to the end
i dont know the answers
and i dont know the reasons why
don't ask me to explain
my understanding of why we die
i analyse myself
and its never what is seems
i dont know the answers im only 19
so now these terrorists keep tellin us
these presidents is perilous
im choking on my words when threats on buildings
start the end of it
my country under thumb, when all i want is sanctuary
away from all this shit talking and breaking what is meant to be
a multicultural society, its all just-might have beens
my people getting into fights
yo fuck this pointless violence
im not buying it like people getting weak instead of strong
nobody even looking up to just admit they was wrong
i write my song, lay my vocal, leave the lyrics in,
my notebook
hope'n the future if there is one will be re-open
and talk to the children of the next generation
so many fucking phones but no communication... mutha fuckers
why i still can't get to sleep
(i don't know my problem, but i wanna find out)
and night times just a jungle
with my soul out on the street
and what's this pain that comes and goes
can u tell me what it means
god help me i'm only 19
what the fuck are people asking for blood
i hope your ready
im shooting at helicopters with my trigger finger steady

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."

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.
the best song that he has done
