Faderhead

Uh Huh
Faderhead
Tear this shit up!
Tear this shit up!
And I’m not an old school conservationist
I wrote a bunch of hits
Got the elites pissed
And I’m not an old school conservationist
Got people talking shit
I got the scene pissed
And I’m not an old school conservationist
I wrote a bunch of hits
Got the elites pissed
And I’m not an old school conservationist
Tear this shit up!

Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Tear this shit up!
Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Break it down!
Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Tear this shit up!
Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Break it down.

And I am not an old school conservationist
I did the opposite
Got the elites pissed
And I’m not an old school conservationist
I love my eagle trip
And got the scene pissed
I’m not an old school conservationist
I did the opposite
Got the elites pissed
And I’m not an old school conservationist
Tear this shit up!

Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Tear this shit up!
Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Break it down.
Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Tear this shit up!
Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Break it down.

Destroy, improve, rebuild
Destroy, improve, rebuild
Destroy, improve, rebuild
Destroy, improve, rebuild
Tear this shit up!

Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Tear this shit up!
Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Break it down.
Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Tear this shit up!
Destroy, do not improve, come-on!
Rebuild!
Break it down.

Break it down.

    I think this is a traditional Anarch anthem/theme of Cyberpunk culture, like KMFDM's DIY song. It's a clear message to authority. He's saying take apart institutions (media, gov, ideals, people) that hurt you and subjugate or coerce you into filling a role in society that exploits you. Destroy these institutions that condition your friends and family to hurt you for being different from the role you must fill. Try pretending your gay sometime for a week and see what happens. Try being an assertive woman for a week and see what happens. African American, Hispanic ect. You may see what hell these people live when they do the simplest things their not supposed to do, that their role is not supposed to do. It's best to improve these institutions to be less exploitative at their core. To promote the non-citizen to a citizen. Remember though, it must be destroyed to even start improving it :) best get your sledge hammer says good ol' Faderhead :D Only after that well thought out improvement should another institution be built to protect "the people with less" as Vanzetti says to his child before being executed for a crime he didn't commit. Also note both Faderhead and KMFDM use self-deprecating humor in these songs. "I like my ego trip" - Faderhead "KMFDM better than the best, maniacal but harder than the rest." KMFDM

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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.

Mountain Song
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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
