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.
Hush little baby, don't make a sound.
Hush little baby, don't make a move.
This is gunna hurt me more then you.
BLOOD!
If im a danger to myself just think what i could do to you !
Twisting and turning my insides are burning.
Like larva feeding from the kill.
The pestilence of decadence.
I worship my empitness,
Im ravaged by the damages of this hell.
Eat the children ! RAW !

We'll steal the life right out of you.
Decending, unending

I've regressed to become one of them.
They gave me this affliction,
I yield to my addiction.
I cant repress myself !

Just another lonely chapter in the book of lies.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I'm just laughing my ass off at the add at the top of the page right now that is advertising getting worms for your garden.
This song is amazing. But there are so many things that she could be trying to say here. Me and a few of my friends have sat around and talked about it. The majority of us think that she is talking about how society today manipulates the younger generation into believing what they want them to believe, and doing what they want them to do, but not listening to their opinion on any of it.
I LOVE YOU OTEP! :)
CORRECTIONS:

~operators are standing by some restrictions may apply~
role model #1... and role model #2..
The ?? thing... i hear... feasting on bait as worms are asleep.
and i dont think that she says... Eat the Children. NO!
I like to think that shes screaming to... Eat the Children RAW!
OTEP = genius A true poet
Well, forceten just about covered all of the corrections.
EXEPT: she spells it eet, not eat. two e's. i just bought the album. i would know.
and at the begining she's saying "So I'm a danger to myself.." not "subtle, a danger.."
and as far as i know, officially it is "eat the children" but she's been known to spell it "EET"
this song kicks major ass
