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.
Be aware
There's someone else inside
Nocturnal eyes are on the prey
You should realize
It's not on you
To turn this page
Just do as I say
Something is wrong here
But I don't know what it is
Still sense there's evil on its way
It's the twist of fate again
Nephilim
[Chorus 1:]
So walk with me
When the fire comes down
(Fallen angel – son of man)
Find a way
A glimmer of hope
Sail away
On the river of dreams
Save the age of innocence
Find a way
Redeem our souls
Still the clouds will burst
When fire breaks open the sky
If you all laid cold
Dead in barren lands
Would you understand
This life's been more than anything
Life's a dream
A dream
A dream
But who's the dreamer
One day you'll understand
A lie
Yet, no one knows
This road
One day you'll surely understand
This road's a lie
Yet, no one knows
Release the beast
We're all condemned
This road
This road reveals the great unknown
To speak the truth
We're all condemned
This road
It is your blood on my hands
It all goes down and
There's nothing I can really do
The great divide
No bridge there's no path
I've been there over yonder
There's no ending of the road
Nephilim
[Chorus 1]
When the clouds will burst
A new age begins
Then
When the clouds will burst
Shall healing rain come
This road misleads us
You should know
(This road)
For aeons we have been condemned
(This road)
Oh, there's blood on my hand
Brother, dear
[Chorus 2] (x2)
Come walk with us
When hell fire breaks loose
Saving grace, old Nephilim
Redeem our souls
Redeemer of souls
Come walk with me
When hell fire breaks loose
Saving grace
Redeem our souls
Redeemer of souls
There's someone else inside
Nocturnal eyes are on the prey
You should realize
It's not on you
To turn this page
Just do as I say
Something is wrong here
But I don't know what it is
Still sense there's evil on its way
It's the twist of fate again
Nephilim
[Chorus 1:]
So walk with me
When the fire comes down
(Fallen angel – son of man)
Find a way
A glimmer of hope
Sail away
On the river of dreams
Save the age of innocence
Find a way
Redeem our souls
Still the clouds will burst
When fire breaks open the sky
If you all laid cold
Dead in barren lands
Would you understand
This life's been more than anything
Life's a dream
A dream
A dream
But who's the dreamer
One day you'll understand
A lie
Yet, no one knows
This road
One day you'll surely understand
This road's a lie
Yet, no one knows
Release the beast
We're all condemned
This road
This road reveals the great unknown

We're all condemned
This road
It is your blood on my hands
It all goes down and
There's nothing I can really do

Come walk with me
When hell fire breaks loose
Saving grace
Redeem our souls
Redeemer of souls

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
From the liner notes by Markus Heitz (author of "The Dark Lands"):
"NEPHILIM" Nicolas is still traveling the spheres. Voices are now speaking to him, a man and a woman, who each want to pull him to their side. She wants to take him to the right path, while he demands allegiance and duty. Good and evil talk to Nicolas in a whisper. How will he decide -- and what exactly is he?
