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.
Backwards and forwards
Seems always under covers
They blind us all
Pressed against the wall
There's nothing that you should fear
Autopilot behind the wheel
Don't fret they're coming
They're lining up to join me
To save us all
Which ones will fall
They don't even care we're here
How do you save someone without fear
The voices screaming
Stop!
Look what we started
The heroes falling
Could you say that
You would give your life tonight
The sky is burning
The fear consuming
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
Tensions are boiling
To the point of overflowing
The stage is set
Curtains drenched in red
We sent off our only sons
We're killing them one by one
Best friends and lovers
Turn against one another
Their faces change
Only shame remains
Out here we stand alone
Operation "Come Back Home"
The voices screaming
Stop!
Look what we started
The heroes falling
Could you say that
You would give your life tonight
The sky is burning
The fear consuming
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
The voices screaming
Stop!
Look what we started
The heroes falling
Could you say that
You would give your life tonight
The sky is burning
The fear consuming
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
Look what we started
The heroes falling
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
The sky is burning
The fear consuming
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
Seems always under covers
They blind us all
Pressed against the wall
There's nothing that you should fear
Autopilot behind the wheel
Don't fret they're coming
They're lining up to join me
To save us all
Which ones will fall
They don't even care we're here
How do you save someone without fear
The voices screaming
Stop!
Look what we started
The heroes falling
Could you say that
You would give your life tonight
The sky is burning
The fear consuming
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
Tensions are boiling
To the point of overflowing
The stage is set
Curtains drenched in red
We sent off our only sons
We're killing them one by one
Best friends and lovers
Turn against one another
Their faces change
Only shame remains
Out here we stand alone
Operation "Come Back Home"
The voices screaming
Stop!
Look what we started
The heroes falling
Could you say that
You would give your life tonight
The sky is burning
The fear consuming
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
The voices screaming
Stop!
Look what we started
The heroes falling
Could you say that
You would give your life tonight
The sky is burning
The fear consuming
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
Look what we started
The heroes falling
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
The sky is burning
The fear consuming
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight
I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is a really good song from a new artist with potential can't believe I'm first to post..... BUt LOVE the song. hav no idea about the meaning someone enlighten me
I believe the correct lyrics for: "Could you save em You would give your life to me" are actually: "Could you say that You would give your life tonight"
As far as a meaning, I think it definitely has to do with war and how our government just keeps sending more soldiers into battle. Our men (and women) not sure if they could be the next to be killed, but if they do, that it wasn't in vain and it would be for a good cause in their eyes.
"Look what we started, The heroes falling," I believe this is a commentary about war. We start them and then we send in our strong and brave, where they die. They should be here with us where we need the strong and brave, not out dying for us.
This song is incredible. It took me quite a few listens to really start picking up on the lyrics, but it's definitely about the war and obviously. I just don't understand what "I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight" means? I'm thinking it could mean as in he'll live forever as in be a hero even when he's gone? Regardless, powerful song.
"I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight" is in regards to the military's training. You learn to fight, and that means your fear is stripped. If you're afraid to die- then you can't fight with everything you've got. If you've already accepted death, there could be a chance of winning the fight. What we fear is death- in combat- you're already dead. "I'll live forever if I lose myself tonight".
*MY LIFE
I hear, "The voices screaming Stop!" and I agree with "Could you say that you would give your life tonight." Definatly makes me think of war, as an Army Medic that doesn't pick up on lyrics, not being able to sleep because two of my good friends got hit hard recently and I was trying to get it off my mind and this song instantly came to mind. We are dying, support your soldiers, dying to protect your freedom because it's our job. "They don't even care we're here."
Number one, these lyrics are severally mistyped. >.<
I have to agree with everyone else though. It's about war. From the POV of the soldiers, maybe? Like this line: "I'll live forever if I lose my life tonight" It most likely means that like most people who die heroically in battle or they do something really amazing and influential, their name lives on forever. It's really sad, but terribly true. Or "Their faces change, only shame remains" means that the war changes them and that they are ashamed of killing so many people even if it is the defense that they were bad people. They took human lives, good or bad.
