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.
I smell the shit and piss
I swear i found my equal
A gutter philosopher
He's not clean, He's from the streets
But his words are holy to me
He narrates his life as a silhouette
He's legendary, A martyr for despair and tragedy
Yet post-traumatic he shares with me
Sleep and surrender
The bandage of past resides in my dreams
My blood is oil, fossilized, poisoned and perfect black
Release me to the night
In the darkness I'm behind the light
Transparent flight
As you see (I'm fading)
That I've begun to fade
A shadow I remain
Were mortal in humanity
Immortal after being
Does the burden of life proceed?
(After I'm dead) Or do we lie peaceful as we enter sleep?
He's falling over screaming at me
Choke you pretender
Your spitting out phrases of fallacy
Love is lie, paralyzed, by your reflection of staring back
Release me to the night
In the darkness I'm behind the light
Transparent flight
As you see (I'm fading)
That I've begun to fade
A shadow I remain
Young man learn to trust your drink
It only costs a fraction of the price
You pay to get her under sheets
Young man its better to have never loved
Then find the one whom
Will cast you into the shadows
Learning how to live your life as a silhouette
Were mortal in humanity
Immortal after being
Oh, It's just the price you pay
Oh, Just take the hint from me
Oh, if this goes another year
Oh, just say fuck the world you lost your girl
Release me to the night
In the darkness I'm behind the light
Transparent flight
As you see (I'm fading)
That I've begun to fade
A shadow I remain
I swear i found my equal
A gutter philosopher
He's not clean, He's from the streets
But his words are holy to me
He narrates his life as a silhouette
He's legendary, A martyr for despair and tragedy
Yet post-traumatic he shares with me
Sleep and surrender
The bandage of past resides in my dreams
My blood is oil, fossilized, poisoned and perfect black
Release me to the night
In the darkness I'm behind the light
Transparent flight
As you see (I'm fading)
That I've begun to fade
A shadow I remain
Were mortal in humanity
Immortal after being
Does the burden of life proceed?
(After I'm dead) Or do we lie peaceful as we enter sleep?
He's falling over screaming at me
Choke you pretender
Your spitting out phrases of fallacy
Love is lie, paralyzed, by your reflection of staring back
Release me to the night
In the darkness I'm behind the light
Transparent flight
As you see (I'm fading)
That I've begun to fade
A shadow I remain
Young man learn to trust your drink
It only costs a fraction of the price
You pay to get her under sheets
Young man its better to have never loved
Then find the one whom
Will cast you into the shadows
Learning how to live your life as a silhouette
Were mortal in humanity
Immortal after being
Oh, It's just the price you pay
Oh, Just take the hint from me
Oh, if this goes another year
Oh, just say fuck the world you lost your girl
Release me to the night
In the darkness I'm behind the light
Transparent flight
As you see (I'm fading)
That I've begun to fade
A shadow I remain

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."
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.
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.
This is such an awesome song and by far the best by a static lullaby
Rattlesnake is my favourite album at the minute and im sure it will remain there for a long time
"Choke you pretender Your spitting out phrases of fallacy Love is lie, paralyzed, by your reflection of staring back" great lyrics
i have no idea of the meaning behind the song..
