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 lost myself when I looked in your eyes
I tried to disguise myself.fear inside the suffering moved
and breathed our hands
silhouettes against the sky I lost myself
when spoken words agreed.shall we dance again?
poems may surprise
stolen pearl caught my eye stole the truth
from my heart.fear inside
where were you hope to chain this memory?
we could have been the last time.show me the
sigh of the side of chance.hold tomorrow one foot
in and one foot out.are you strong enough?
pitiful boy.I lost myself in moments embrace
I saw the lie come clear.fear inside
fallen now child run away I tried to reveal
myself but fear inside where were you?
help unchain this memory
I tried to disguise myself.fear inside the suffering moved
and breathed our hands
silhouettes against the sky I lost myself
when spoken words agreed.shall we dance again?
poems may surprise
stolen pearl caught my eye stole the truth
from my heart.fear inside
where were you hope to chain this memory?
we could have been the last time.show me the
sigh of the side of chance.hold tomorrow one foot
in and one foot out.are you strong enough?
pitiful boy.I lost myself in moments embrace
I saw the lie come clear.fear inside
fallen now child run away I tried to reveal
myself but fear inside where were you?
help unchain this memory

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises
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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
this is the baddest fuckin song ever i love it
i agree.
i'm surprised there hasn't been much written about this song. this song still remains my favorite of all time and i'm not sure why. i don't even know the lyrics. the song just seems to grab me in a way like no other. it has the nice mellow part and then it gets all angry. maybe i'm not reading into it very much but it's just a great song to listen to in any mood.
"i lost myself when i looked in your eyes i tried to disguise myself fear inside"
that line tells how i was with someone i loved. i absolutley love this song.
i love this song. its so cute and heart-breaking
anyone know if it's a follow on from 47? it sounds like it...the lyrics have similarities.
I love how this song starts out all calm and wandering and accelerates into the screaming at the end. I love that screaming...It doesn't seem pointless to me as in most screamo bands these days.
Anyway, this song reminds me of a person's mind where you think about something close to you. You bring it up in your mind randomly and as you start to think more about it, your emotions are released on it.
the screaming is the best part of this song...its defenitly not fake...you can just feel jeremy's broken heart coming out of his screams....Are you strong enough, pitiful boy?
im glad to see some other people appreciate this song as much as i do. i dont even really know why it's so good to me, everytime it gets into the heavy part with that amazing guitar part screaming, i get major chills. ive been trying to find a good guitar tab for this song for so long, and i still haven't. i can't figure out the melodic part, but the heavy part is kind of easy to understand. anyone have/know of any good tabs?
are you strong enough? pitiful boy. love that
utter bliss. one of my favorite songs by Sunny Day
