This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Lie, lie to my face
Tell me it ain't no thing
That's what I wanna hear
Take your lie to the grave
That's what an old friend told me
Look what it did for him
The truth hurts so bad, wouldn't you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss, then I'm in
Heaven now
Run, you'll never escape
You see you'll go nowhere
So new you appear
Broke, laid to waste
Turn into sweet no things
Kiss you goodbye
The truth hurts so bad, wouldn't you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss, then I'm in
Heaven now
Keep going over and over again
The never ending places I've never been
No one's catching on
Callin' my bluff
The devil made me holier than I've ever been
What you do, say it with a smile, boy
Making us all forget
What you do, say it with a smile, boy
Making us all forget
Making us all forget
Making us all forget
Tell me it ain't no thing
That's what I wanna hear
Take your lie to the grave
That's what an old friend told me
Look what it did for him
The truth hurts so bad, wouldn't you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss, then I'm in
Heaven now
Run, you'll never escape
You see you'll go nowhere
So new you appear
Broke, laid to waste
Turn into sweet no things
Kiss you goodbye
The truth hurts so bad, wouldn't you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss, then I'm in
Heaven now
Keep going over and over again
The never ending places I've never been
No one's catching on
Callin' my bluff
The devil made me holier than I've ever been
What you do, say it with a smile, boy
Making us all forget
What you do, say it with a smile, boy
Making us all forget
Making us all forget
Making us all forget

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
Numerology passage:
3 - THE LIFE OF THE PARTY - 3's are idealists. They are very
creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things, but don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.
7 - THE INTELLECTUAL - 7's are the searchers. Always probing for hidden
information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is "slow and steady wins the race" They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what is not in the world at large.
@hustarn like the enneagram?<br />
has anyone noticed what 3's and 7's is upside down and backwards L&E. That is almost lie just without the I idk kinda abstract but it fits in to well to be a coincidence imo
@rgarrow92 agreed
I thought this song was about the whole "Josh and Nick" feud that occurred when Josh kicked Nick out of QotSA. Well that's what I think about this song anyway.
@ Dangelles
It's not about poker. Having a 37 offsuit is not the worst hand. With 3&7os you can still get a straight. 2 & 7 os is the worst.
It's kind of hilarious reading all of this jibber jabber on meaning of this song... bible references, poker references, interpretations of L.A.,. etc...
3's & 7's is a superstition among doctor's and medical personel meaning that deaths come in 3's and 7's over the period of a day.
In this song Homme said If ignorance is bliss then im in heaven. In his other band Them Crooked Vultures he sang ignorance is bliss until you take the bliss away. Just thought that was interesting.
NEW ALBUM!! ive already downloaded a few songs, it sounds TRIPPIN! the drumming in this song is intergalactical. as for the meaning, its about how its always easier to ignore the "reality" of things and how the truth is much harder to handle, so lying is always the easy way out.
Kick ass song. Great new album. I got it about a month before it "technically " came out. Best crime I've ever committed!
is it intentional that the main riff sounds a lot like smells like teen spirit? not saying thats a bad thing--actually when i first listened to this album before i got through the first song it reminded me of nirvana in that it was so raw and new...
I know what you mean, the riff does have kinda the same rhythm/structure.
3s and 7s is a reference to song structure ie.) putting the lyrics on the 3s and 7s. im no musician, but i read that somewhere
