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.
[From their first album- Into the Half Moon]
Crouched low his decision is made
Even though he feels his courage fading
He knows in his heart that they are here
He draws his sword and sheathes his fear
So please just let me out
So please just let me out
So please just let me out
Then I could focus
Burning one more
Baptized in fire
Burning one more
She cries and she screams but her best never clears
She drops and kneels and her lips are bare
So please just let me out ‘cuz there’s nothing left to say
And as she stands she knows I’m right there
She tucks her face, her tears are gone
Strength in their place
So please just let me out
So please just let me out
And if you let me out
Then I could focus
Burning one more
Baptized in fire
Burning one more
Baptized in fire
Broken, this stage
Found their strength through rage
So much more that

Little Feat
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."
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 song is awesome. I just listened to it on my MP3 for the first time in my car. Just an awesome song.
I don't really mind not going in-depth for this song. My own meaning for this song is that you can overcome emotion, pain, and fear through inner strength.
"Crouched low his decision is made Even though he feels his courage fading He knows in his heart that they are here He draws his sword and sheathes his fear"
^ Though he knows fear is taking him (even though he feels his courage fading), he decides that he will summon his inner strength (he draws his sword) and in finding his own inner strength, his fear is hidden/ignored/put away (and sheathes his fear), even that he KNOWS that fear is taking him. As for the "he knows in his heart that they are here," I would take it two ways. One, he knows that the strength of his loved ones who have passed on are with him, or that he knows that his enemies/problems are there. I would like to think the first of the two because it says that he knows from his heart, and I would think that meant his heart is helping him by reminding him of his love for his friends.
I'm not sure what "burning one more" implies. Maybe he's thinking to himself... "one more pain to suffer."
Baptized in fire - Perhaps he feels purified/strengthened from his experiences in life.
She cries and she screams but her best never clears She drops and kneels and her lips are bare So please just let me out cause there's nothing left to say And as she stands she knows I'm right there She tucks her face, her tears are gone Strength in their place
I guess the "best" she can give give is just not good enough, and brings her down, yet through experience, she begins to get stronger. As for the "and as she stands she knows I'm right there" part, I'm not really sure who "I'm" is. Maybe strength itself.
Broken, this stage Found their strength through rage
Perhaps it means they decided to make a stand, and by standing up, found strength they didn't know they had.
ANYWAY lol. Good song.
