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.
Displacement came in the form of you
In your space it rains when you move
And your algebra: your x and y
It contains no flaw: a man could cry
Your soul won't dock: your spirit's prancing
And your fulcrum rocks while you're dancing
But your magnet's pulled toward an awful match
A black hole that's dulled: dreams won't hatch
ETs crashland on earth 'cause you're here
The time machine's stalling and stuck in first gear
And off on its way to our present day
You threw off the pilot
Equipment's at bay
And my heart's enraged 'cause it's split in two
A computer page hacked into
And I abstract through time and space
If you saw the facts: me in his place
With the speed of light, you'd streak away
Hop a better flight: towards me you'd sway
But the pixels whip 'round in a daze
Then your picture skips, blinks out and fades
ETs crashland on earth 'cause you're here
The time machine's stalling and stuck in first gear
And off on its way to our present day
You threw off the pilot
Equipment's at bay
I watch you run: your body's diction
Newton's laws look like fiction
Like the odds we'll be a pair
Two divides in the equation
End result: you're an evasion
Math and science: they don't care
ETs crashland on earth 'cause you're here
The time machine's stalling and stuck in first gear
And off on its way to our present day
You threw off the pilot
Equipment's at bay
In your space it rains when you move
And your algebra: your x and y
It contains no flaw: a man could cry
Your soul won't dock: your spirit's prancing
And your fulcrum rocks while you're dancing
But your magnet's pulled toward an awful match
A black hole that's dulled: dreams won't hatch
ETs crashland on earth 'cause you're here
The time machine's stalling and stuck in first gear
And off on its way to our present day
You threw off the pilot
Equipment's at bay
And my heart's enraged 'cause it's split in two
A computer page hacked into
And I abstract through time and space
If you saw the facts: me in his place
With the speed of light, you'd streak away
Hop a better flight: towards me you'd sway
But the pixels whip 'round in a daze
Then your picture skips, blinks out and fades
ETs crashland on earth 'cause you're here
The time machine's stalling and stuck in first gear
And off on its way to our present day
You threw off the pilot
Equipment's at bay
I watch you run: your body's diction
Newton's laws look like fiction
Like the odds we'll be a pair
Two divides in the equation
End result: you're an evasion
Math and science: they don't care
ETs crashland on earth 'cause you're here
The time machine's stalling and stuck in first gear
And off on its way to our present day
You threw off the pilot
Equipment's at bay

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.
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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
A very intriguing paradox indeed! A mismatch of science and emotions that has enough logic to keep your mind at bay while your heart races through both anticipation and pain. The use of imagery in combining these two seemingly opposing forces (emotion and logic) is excellently portrayed in the lyrics: "The time machine's stalling and stuck in first gear.." The ultimate result is something more than just a synthesis of predictable equations as "math and science: they don't care." It leaves us to feel that even in the unknown there is hope and something else to be believed... a greater calling that makes it right in the end..
