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.
All hail!
The tip of the spear
The misguided, unyielding force
Unleashed about a foreign nightmare of pain
Is this what we want for ourselves
Creep crawl under your sheets
Cheat its way through the back door
Unaffected till we are affected
Then we push for war
Then we push for more
Then we push for war!
Ravenous and racing forward
Never looking back
We killed more then we need
Knives out
Be we bare our teeth
Strength and pain of what rules the world
End of days and were racing to red lights
Does that make sense to anyone else?
Deny any wrong doing
Pass the buck and then fake some more blame
Life's a circle then we all reap the whirlwind
Then we push for war
Then we push for more
Then we push for war!
Ravenous and racing forward
Never looking back
We killed more then we need
Glutinous we feed our power
Never looking back
We killed more then we need
What goes around
Comes around
And around
And around
And hateful
Young men
Turn to old hateful men
What goes around
Comes around
And around
And around
And hateful
Young men
Turn to old dead men
Ravenous and racing forward
Never looking back
We've killed more then we need
Glutinous we feed our power
Never looking back
We killed more then we need
We killed more then we need!
The tip of the spear
The misguided, unyielding force
Unleashed about a foreign nightmare of pain
Is this what we want for ourselves
Creep crawl under your sheets
Cheat its way through the back door
Unaffected till we are affected
Then we push for war
Then we push for more
Then we push for war!
Ravenous and racing forward
Never looking back
We killed more then we need
Knives out
Be we bare our teeth
Strength and pain of what rules the world
End of days and were racing to red lights
Does that make sense to anyone else?
Deny any wrong doing
Pass the buck and then fake some more blame
Life's a circle then we all reap the whirlwind
Then we push for war
Then we push for more
Then we push for war!
Ravenous and racing forward
Never looking back
We killed more then we need
Glutinous we feed our power
Never looking back
We killed more then we need
What goes around
Comes around
And around
And around
And hateful
Young men
Turn to old hateful men
What goes around
Comes around
And around
And around
And hateful
Young men
Turn to old dead men
Ravenous and racing forward
Never looking back
We've killed more then we need
Glutinous we feed our power
Never looking back
We killed more then we need
We killed more then we need!

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
"Strength and pain are what rules the world"
"Deny any wrong doing Pass the book(other lyrics say buck??) and then fake some more blame Lie's a circle then we all reap the whirlwind"
"Ravenous and racing forward Never looking back, we've killed more than we need Gluttonous we feed on power, never looking back We've killed more than we need"
This song definitely reminds me of the government or anyone who gets greedy and consumed with power.
