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.

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.

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
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."

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
A E I O U... and sometimes WHY?
"Filming my own fake death"
"Faking suicide for applause"
i think this is about how he vicariously creates and lives and plays out scenes through poetry and song, many pertaining to his own death like in these few presidents.
reminds me of nico when she said "And if I seem to be afraid to live the life that I have made in song it's just that I've been losing so long."
he gets up to perform his "fake suicides" and then people clap. but i hope he doesn't feel like we, his audience, resemble the food courts of malls, although sometimes i feel like applause is entirely innappropriate and the audience didn't "get it".
"As I stood there in awe, I noticed I was blissfully unaware of anybody around me - including Yoni Wolf, the main guy behind WHY? Then I began to think about him as a REAL person instead of just this superstar type persona; all the experiences he must have went through, his whole life history, all the fucked up shit that life brings to people like him who then chew it up and spit it back out in the inveitably and intensely personal form of song and then stand up in front of hundreds of young people, very few having truly listened deeply and sincerely, and basically share a very intimate experience of live music with them. And then they clap like it was some trick, maybe even a bit funny. But it's nothing like that. We don't take walks by the ocean and then realizing how beautiful it actually is, start clapping and cheering like it's a fucking parade. But, like Yoni had courageously announced, "Your face never forgets a cry," and we were only being polite little clones. What else can you do but give the fans a timid and smileless "Thanks?" Nevermind the confusion and pain behind the memories his song had graced us with that night."
does anybody know what the fuck he means with "am i an example of a calculated birth," ?

I think the "calculated birth to a star chart for clowns.." is a line referencing astrology. Some people calculate and plan pregnancy's so their baby will be born a virgo, scorpio, whatever because it's more "compatible" due to this "clowns science"
I'm pretty sure that "am i an example of a calculated birth to a star chart for clowns?" should be one question. He's gotta be talking about the zodiac signs and how he doesn't buy into it. He answers his question with "I'm not."
truly a bad ass tune
few more corrections ive noticed:
...on consumer grade video at night
...and cursing racing horses on chariot steps (maybe)
...did anyone hear me cry there through a toilet stall divider
...under robin's eggs in a nest, you hid a manila envelope with one last little robin's egg in it
...a hollow bullet yet spent
...could be called my missed calls
almost 100% sure on all of these.
"United 955 on the fifth of July back to SFO (San Francisco International Airport)"
United 955 is London to San Francisco
"am i an example..."?
I think the last two lines go like this:
'I wish all my pitfalls could be caught by this call'
makes more sense for the happy cheerio's sung at the end.
so...I see people can correct the lyrics, but does anyone have a clue what it means??
what the hell
