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.
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
Lost in the age of innocence
Trapped in a traffic accident
Got to escape the hospital
Intensive care
Don't try to fool yourself, you bag of skin and blood
One day I break your heart and bury you in mud
Don't be an egotist, the doctor wants your room
You had your go at life, the time is up, you're doomed
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
I have to boost my confidence
Build me a strong immune defense
Take on the virus drilling
In my chilling spine
Look at your body, how the pieces fall apart
There ain't no brainwave, ain't no pumpin' from the heart
That was your life, my dear, I'm bored with your account
Before your body blow pay back my full amount
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
You think you're so unique, you think you have it all
Deep down inside you're weak, I shake and make you fall
Don't be an egotist, the doctor wants your room
You had your go at life, the time is up, you're doomed
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
Lost in the age of innocence
Trapped in a traffic accident
Got to escape the hospital
Intensive care
Don't try to fool yourself, you bag of skin and blood
One day I break your heart and bury you in mud
Don't be an egotist, the doctor wants your room
You had your go at life, the time is up, you're doomed
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
I have to boost my confidence
Build me a strong immune defense
Take on the virus drilling
In my chilling spine
Look at your body, how the pieces fall apart
There ain't no brainwave, ain't no pumpin' from the heart
That was your life, my dear, I'm bored with your account
Before your body blow pay back my full amount
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
You think you're so unique, you think you have it all
Deep down inside you're weak, I shake and make you fall
Don't be an egotist, the doctor wants your room
You had your go at life, the time is up, you're doomed
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die
Life is fantastic, the beauty and sorrow
Death is too drastic, I can't say goodbye
Golden or plastic, the joys of tomorrow
Life is fantastic, I don't want to die

Silent Planet
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
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."
