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 can't forget it,
Though I've tried
I know you'll regret, love
You told me so many times
But, I still wonder
Why...
You left with her
& left me behind
Take your hands off him
Cause he's the only one that I have ever loved
Please don't find her skin
When you turn the lights out
I can't erase it
From my mind
I just replay it, love
I think of all of the time
But I don't want to imagine
Words you spoke to her that night
Make your bodies look like porcelain
You both knew I'd be bleeding inside
Did she make your heart beat faster than I could?
Did she give you what you hoped for?
On nights so loveless, love,
I hope it made you feel good
Knowing how much I adored you
Did she make your heart beat faster than I could?
Did she give you what you hoped for?
On nights so loveless, love,
I hope it made you feel good
Knowing how much I adored you
(You're making me sick, love)
Though I've tried
I know you'll regret, love
You told me so many times
But, I still wonder
Why...
You left with her
& left me behind
Take your hands off him
Cause he's the only one that I have ever loved
Please don't find her skin
When you turn the lights out
I can't erase it
From my mind
I just replay it, love
I think of all of the time
But I don't want to imagine
Words you spoke to her that night
Make your bodies look like porcelain
You both knew I'd be bleeding inside
Did she make your heart beat faster than I could?
Did she give you what you hoped for?
On nights so loveless, love,
I hope it made you feel good
Knowing how much I adored you
Did she make your heart beat faster than I could?
Did she give you what you hoped for?
On nights so loveless, love,
I hope it made you feel good
Knowing how much I adored you
(You're making me sick, love)

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."

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.
This is definitely my favourite song by Daughter. this has so many powerful lyrics embedded in it that its incomprehensible. I have an interpretation of this, so here it goes.
"I can't forget it. Though I've tried. I know you regret it love. You've told me so many, times." -The singer is troubled by the time she has spent with this boy, and how it all not only ended so quickly, but ended nastily, with him telling her he regrets their relationship (Which I don't think they were necessarily 'Dating' but just romantically involved.)
"But I still wonder, why. You left with her, and left me behind." -This could be poetic or literal; as in maybe they were at an event like a dance, or a club/bar and all three of them were there, and she was expecting him to take her home but he left with this other girl. Or, it was just poetic and she is saying that he left her for the other female.
"Take your hands off, Him. 'Cause he's the only one that I, have ever loved." -I imagine the singer looking at him with this other girl and the girl is touching him on the chest or the arm and it is making the singer very angry and remorseful, and wanting to tell this girl to get her hands of her lover.
"And please don't find her, skin. When you turn the lights out." -I think this is her internally begging this man she loves so dearly not to be physical with the other girl, because she couldn't bear the emotional pain.
"I can't erase it. From my mind. I just replay it, love. Think of it all of the time." -She is expressing how she wishes she could just erase this all from her mind so that he could just be happy with her, but can't. The images of their time together just keep running through her mind. She cannot stop thinking about it.
"And I don't want to imagine, Words you spoke to her that, night." -In this chorus she expresses how she doesn't even want to think about the things that he says to the other girl, that the singer wishes he would say to her. She doesn't think she can handle the emotional trauma of imagining the romantic coos exchanged between the two lovers that she believes aren't meant to be.
"Naked bodies look like, porcelain. You both knew I'd be bleeding inside" -Here she is envisioning either her and this boy, or the other girl and this boy laying together naked after making love and looking so beautiful. If it's the singer and the boy, she is trying to show him how perfect they could be together. But if it's the other girl and the boy, She is being envious of how beautiful they look too.
"Did she make your heart beat faster than I could. Did she give you what you hoped for. Oh on nights so loveless, love, I hope it made you feel good. Knowing how much I adored you X2." -She is now making the boy question 'Was it worth leaving me for her?' and 'Is she all that you hoped she would be?'. then she is spiting him by saying 'I love you so much and you threw it all away, so i hope it makes you feel good to see how loveless I am.'
"You're making me sick love." -She is articulating how upset and uneasy she feels about his new lover.
Again this is one of the most lyrically and musically beautiful songs I've ever heard, And I love Daughter and Elena Tonra's music.
