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.
You move through my body like an ocean, yeah
Didn't take you long to get to my heart
I stood on your porch in the commotion
Of the bustling city and it's busy heart
Well i sat in your room and played my six string
Laid back and stared up at your ceiling
Well your hair looked so good over my shoulder
Now we're getting older, time has no hold on me
But she's got
She's got control over me
(Tonight has lasted long enough)
The sun is coming
(From dusk 'till dawn we tear it up)
The sun is coming out
(I just want to hear your sounds)
We love like vampires
(You'll be lost and never found)
Dance in the underground
I think that I've lost all of my feelings
No, I think it's you that last all of the meaning
When the world turned around and around yeah, ah
The love that we found has gone drifting away
She's always drifting
She's always drifting away
(Tonight has lasted long enough)
The sun is coming
(From dusk 'till dawn we tear it up)
The sun is coming out
(I just want to hear your sounds)
We love like vampires
(You'll be lost and never found)
Dance in the underground
You know i said you never
You know i say
Oh yes its so well
You know i said you never fight fair
Your always jumping on my back
You bit my neck like a bad habit,
Yeah now it's all coming back
(Tonight has lasted long enough)
The sun is coming
(From dusk 'till dawn we tear it up)
The sun is coming out
(I just want to hear your sounds)
We love like vampires
(You'll be lost and never found)
Dance in the underground

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead

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.
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.
I agree with PurplePanther, it's about a relationship that becomes so revolved around sex that it's all that there is to it. "well i think that i've lost some of my feelings, No, i think it's you that lost some of the meaning"
