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.
I'm working up
a stronger appetite.
I'm turning left
and smashing radical right.
I'm canceling
your nine o'clock
and liquidating
all your shares and stocks.
'Cause this picture
is slowly crossing over.
Wind is howling,
and the air is colder.
You cast your
cold, black shadow on me.
Glowing embers:
Now the fire's dying.
Your callousness is a curse.
Live your life in reverse.
Just sit back and relax.
Leave the future to the past,
leave the future to the past,
oh yeah.
You might start out
on the less-traveled way,
but you can't resist
the Champs-Élysées.
Your hands are tied,
and your mouth has got you.
Burn your bridges,
and raise your tattered flag,
and find a way
to venture capitalize
everything
from the ground up to the skies.
Well I'm fed up
and I will soon be leaving,
'cause nothing matters to your heart,
which has stopped its beating.
Nothing matters to your heart,
which has stopped its beating.
But I'm not ready to go,
there are some things I have to know
before you fall to the ground
you have to listen to the sound,
listen to the sound,
listen to the sound,
ohhh.
It's not profound
nor is it hard to understand.
Hold your feelings in,
yielding profits, surplus, and demand.
Music's fading
into the atmosphere
and disagreement we have made
makes things perfectly, perfectly clear,
oh yeah.
Your callousness is a curse.
Live your life in reverse.
Just sit back and relax,
leave your future to the past.
But I'm not ready to go,
there are some things I have to know
before you fall to the ground
you have to listen to the sound,
listen to the sound,
listen to the sound,
ohhh yeah.

Little Feat
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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
