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.
La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La
And so it begins
And so it begins
From within
The depths of the dying earth
It has given birth
To a terrible thing that has broke free from its cage
Night is
Night is
Falling Fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
La-La-Leviathan
La-La-Leviathan
Has come again
And an agony
It will surely bring
The spell is upon us and has us tightly in its grip
Night is
Night is
Falling Fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
From the dust returns a Titan
From the dust returns a Titan
Ancient names whispered in the darkness
Lost words spoke from chattering teeth
Bloody runes forebode the arrival
Of a beast who no longer sleeps
This is the end of everything we know?
My darling, this is simply the end
Such safety finds us, like lambs devoured by wolves
Heaven is shattering!
Heaven is shattering!
Hope is lost!
And soon there will be a flood
Of angels weeping blood
Grim retributions we will pay for tonight
Night is
Night is
Falling Fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
Hell is assembling
Hell is assembling
Humanity has reached its bitter end
No time to make amends
Up from the pits call the unnameable faceless ones
Night is
Night is
Falling Fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
From the dust returns a Titan
From the dust returns a Titan
Ancient names whispered in the darkness
Lost words spoke from chattering teeth
Bloody runes forebode the arrival
Of a beast who no longer sleeps
This is the end of everything we know?
My darling, this is simply the end
Such safety finds us, like lambs devoured by wolves
Well It is far too late to change our ways
After what occurred tonight
Events that we have witnessed can never be unseen
We walk alone to atone into the unknown
We walk alone to atone into the unknown
Well all that will be left is scattered stones
Of forgotten cities long gone
The things that we have witnessed can never be unseen
We walk alone to atone into the unknown
We walk alone to atone into the unknown
La La La La La La La La
And so it begins
And so it begins
From within
The depths of the dying earth
It has given birth
To a terrible thing that has broke free from its cage
Night is
Night is
Falling Fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
La-La-Leviathan
La-La-Leviathan
Has come again
And an agony
It will surely bring
The spell is upon us and has us tightly in its grip
Night is
Night is
Falling Fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
From the dust returns a Titan
From the dust returns a Titan
Ancient names whispered in the darkness
Lost words spoke from chattering teeth
Bloody runes forebode the arrival
Of a beast who no longer sleeps
This is the end of everything we know?
My darling, this is simply the end
Such safety finds us, like lambs devoured by wolves
Heaven is shattering!
Heaven is shattering!
Hope is lost!
And soon there will be a flood
Of angels weeping blood
Grim retributions we will pay for tonight
Night is
Night is
Falling Fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
Hell is assembling
Hell is assembling
Humanity has reached its bitter end
No time to make amends
Up from the pits call the unnameable faceless ones
Night is
Night is
Falling Fast
Time is

Here at last
From the dust returns a Titan
From the dust returns a Titan
Ancient names whispered in the darkness
Lost words spoke from chattering teeth
Bloody runes forebode the arrival
Of a beast who no longer sleeps
This is the end of everything we know?
My darling, this is simply the end
Such safety finds us, like lambs devoured by wolves
Well It is far too late to change our ways
After what occurred tonight
Events that we have witnessed can never be unseen
We walk alone to atone into the unknown
We walk alone to atone into the unknown
Well all that will be left is scattered stones
Of forgotten cities long gone
The things that we have witnessed can never be unseen
We walk alone to atone into the unknown
We walk alone to atone into the unknown

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
