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.
Lover of things
Won't you agree
How the winter could bring
The darkest spring
With hell on your face
Dirt on the walls
In the back of the place
You grew and complained
Father of three
Won't you believe
That the ones in between
The ones that are blamed
Of fickle faith
Cynics that seethe
How their children are cursed
Cursed to believe
It's like marrow without bone
To live in a house with no home
Where the son is the darkest seed
He crawls with the curs in the weeds
Where had you been son
Not in the street, not in the yard
Only once, I'll call off the dogs
If you call off your guard
Where had you gone
Where had you been
Won't you agree
How the winter could bring
The darkest spring
With hell on your face
Dirt on the walls
In the back of the place
You grew and complained
Father of three
Won't you believe
That the ones in between
The ones that are blamed
Of fickle faith
Cynics that seethe
How their children are cursed
Cursed to believe
It's like marrow without bone
To live in a house with no home
Where the son is the darkest seed
He crawls with the curs in the weeds
Where had you been son
Not in the street, not in the yard
Only once, I'll call off the dogs
If you call off your guard
Where had you gone
Where had you been

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
When I first listened to it I got the feeling of life as both sad and happy, and it sounded like growing up. It feels warm and happy but it's continually filled with sadness, and if you carry that meaning throughout the song it's really powerful. Many of the lyrics sound like they could be talking about an unfairness a child experiences, father of three, won't you believe the middle child's words?
As the song progresses, the things that the child sees as unfair become more mature. Being forced to believe in what your parents do, simply because you weren't exposed to anything else. Or the house that is no longer home, having to grow up and leave behind what you once viewed as everything. No longer being attached to the only constant in your life.
Then either the perspective shifts to the father or the child grows more and is now a father himself, and questions where his son his, who presumably has undergone the same things he did, and left as he did. A cycle that never learns from itself.
So, I think it's less about running away and more about leaving home as we all do at some point, the father just misses when exactly his son left because for a while the son was physically there but not a part of it anymore.
I listened to this a first, a while back, and immediately loved it, but never really got a meaning from it until after i read the lyrics here... <br /> I think the "lover of things", is his child, who has fallen out with his father, after the divorce. The father is the narrator, and is asking for forgiveness... He couldnt provide what the kid wanted, and the child resented him, ran away...<br /> <br /> The second verse reaches out to his grown son, a father of three, as well. possibly divorced now too, who's son is up to the same things the grown son did as a child... <br /> the last verse, to me, is asking for a truce with the narrator's son, but the bridge seems to say that the son has failed better than the father. "Marrow without bone." <br /> <br /> It describes the two family system perfectly.<br /> <br /> "to live in a house with no home"
