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.
(spoken/sound clip)
I just want to talk about a good father, now coming
From me if you where to personally
Look at my life, you would ask the
Question what do you know about a good father?
And that would be a fair question, because one of
The statements i have written on my notes
Here today is that men need examples and
That’s not holy men, all of us are helped by examples.
But it does seem that as men we feel better when
Other men show us that they are man
Enough to do whatever it is that we have
Hesitancy in doing, whether it is cook, sew maybe sit or to
Shout, clap our hands, cry.
We sometimes can't do it until we
See other men who have lost themselves
In the praise of god and in life.
So it would certainly be a fair question, on this
Father’s day to ask what do you know about a good father.
Now when i say father i am speaking of one who
Is the guardian or biological male in your life.
Who takes you out with them, who teaches
You and gives you the instructions to follow.
Proverbs talks about the son or daughter following
The instructions of the father, well certainly there is no
Equivication about that, that’s
Wonderful, howe'er, in order to follow ones instructions
They most know what they are doing.
We ask sociologically why are there so
Many messed up families, what’s the problem?
Well in most of those cases, those children
Have no or little example to follow.
There are exceptions but in most of those cases
They have little or no example to follow.
A good father is more than one who
Provides shelter, food and body coverage.
Now i pray that those fathers who are
Here and those mothers who had to
Be fathers also and everyone once in a while we find
Some fathers who had to be mothers also:
(Saul)
Our father which art in st. frances hospital for hypotension.
Our father which art in jumpsuits and prisons, federal detention.
Our father which art in dark bars and alleys, lethal injection.
Our father which art in denial and delusion. this cannot happen again.
Hallowed be thy. state your name for the record.
Hallowed be thy. state your name for the record.
Hallowed be thy. state your name for the record.
Hallowed be thy. state your name for the record.
Hallowed be thy. state your name for the record.
Hallowed be thy. state your name for the record. selves disraeli end.
Dear goddess we made this break beat just for you
As an offering, can you hear us now.

When i was young i cried when i found out i couldn’t have children
Soon after i started rhyming no one was nicer than me,
I mean it up state, new york
I learned to beat box in my tree house
Sounded good out there
Would you rather hear about guns fear
Or broken glass in the tenement
Should i rob to make you fear me now.
Dear goddess can you hear me now clear the
Way and prepare me now dear goddess can you hear me now.
Dear goddess we made this break
Beat just for you as an offering, can you hear us now.
Dear goddess we made this
Break beat just for you as an offering, can you heel us now.
I’m suppose to be less of an mc because i never sold a kil(o).
I sold my homework but
You’ all nigger’s were to busy hustling to do
The dome work now you can only rhyme about
How you’re stealing chrome work or your cell phone jerk
Change your topic, damn i'm suppose to be praying
I got to stop it.
Dear goddess we made this break beat just for you

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.
No Surprises

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
such a powerful song
This piece of art (I don't know what else to call it) is very powerful, I think especially for us xy's.
