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.
Eyes open wide, blinded by the sun now
Orange and white, dark red, green and yellow
Rainbow colors! Do not hide, see the view!
Step aside, go through!
Against the light, too strong, blow a fuse now
Everything bright, new songs, burning shoes
The look in your eyes! Break our bones into half!
Scream and shout and do laugh!
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see - You see
Inn um ermar, upp hryggjarsúluna
Yfir skóg, flæðir niður brekkuna
Allt upp í loft! Ég mun aldrei gleyma!
Því ég mun aldrei!
Hleypur um, rífur, leysir flækjurnar
(Upp með rótum) með blik í augum!
Stórmerki, undur, brjótum bein í sundur!
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see
Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Right beyond the trees
Show you how you'll be
Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see - You see
Stay close to me : Count one, two, three
Up in your sleeves : You're right beyond trees
Stay close to me : Count one, two, three
Up in your sleeves : Burst through the seams
Open your eyes and see
You see - You see
Orange and white, dark red, green and yellow
Rainbow colors! Do not hide, see the view!
Step aside, go through!
Against the light, too strong, blow a fuse now
Everything bright, new songs, burning shoes
The look in your eyes! Break our bones into half!
Scream and shout and do laugh!
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see - You see
Inn um ermar, upp hryggjarsúluna
Yfir skóg, flæðir niður brekkuna
Allt upp í loft! Ég mun aldrei gleyma!
Því ég mun aldrei!
Hleypur um, rífur, leysir flækjurnar
(Upp með rótum) með blik í augum!
Stórmerki, undur, brjótum bein í sundur!
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Stay close to me
Count one, two and three

Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see
Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Right beyond the trees
Show you how you'll be
Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song

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."

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.
I love this song! Does anyone know what language he's singing in the second verse?
Okay, I think I might have figured it out? I think it might be Icelandic. And if so, I translated it online, and this is what he says there:<br /> <br /> Inn on the sleeves, a spine <br /> Over the forest, flowing down the slope <br /> Up in the air! I will never forget! <br /> I will never! <br /> <br /> Rushes on, tears, laser machinations <br /> (Up with roots) with glittering eyes! <br /> Wonders, miracles, chest bones apart!<br /> <br /> For those who wanted to know, like me, lol. :P
In through the sleeves, up the spine<br /> Over forests, flows down the hill<br /> Everything upside down! I’ll never forget!<br /> 'Cause I'll never!<br /> <br /> Runs about, scratches, loosens up tangles<br /> (Torn up by the roots) With a look in the eyes!<br /> A miracle, a wonder, we break bones asunder!
Thanks, lol. Your translator is better than mine. :]
Yah, it's Icelandic. I ADORE this song! I almost get teary when I listen to it. :3
Any chance arnfdeno could translate "Kolnidur" and "Hengilas" (sorry I can't get the accent marks on)? They're beautiful without knowing what they mean, but I wouldn't mind also having some grasp on the lyrics.
