It feels so 80's
Or early 90's
To be political
Where are my friends

Get off the internet
I'll meet you in the street
Get off the internet
Destroy the right wing

Get off the internet
I'll meet you in the street
Get off the internet
Destroy the right wing

This is repetitive
But nothing has changed
Am I crazy
Where are my friends

Get off the internet
I'll meet you in the street
Get off the internet
Destroy the right wing

Get off the internet
I'll meet you in the street
Get off the internet
Destroy the right wing

    I love this song. The lyrics speak for themselves really - Le Tigre want to revieve the early 90s riot grrl political way of thinking ('destroy the right-wing') and have found that, through the numerous e-zines, riotgrrl communties etc on the internet, there are still plenty of girls and women who have that way of thinking.

    So, this song is all about getting those girls back into action and fighting for their rights. I'll join you Kathleen! Hurrah!

    Yes yes zeroglitter that's what Kathleen said it was about. It's about getting back out into the streets, ti's cool that you get into all these things online, but you have to act as well.

    I agree with Kathleen, I want to see feminists doing less blogging and doing more activism on the streets too.

    It's so ironic really. I'm listening to a song called "Get Off The Internet" on the internet. And now I'm talking about it on this website for that reason.

    I actually disagree with this song to be honest. It's catchy, but that isn't really what matters. I think the internet is a great way to be political. Social networks, and even more so, blogs, are a form of media. It's a great way to communicate information to the rest of the country, or the rest of the world, really.

    I don't see feminist blogs as a bad thing. Blogs are in a way, just modern day zines, aren't they? A lot more widespread, of course. Most of these bloggers make zines as well. I don't see anything wrong with it!

    Also am I the only one who uses this website? All the comments on here are from, like, 2005. I'm like the only one who comments on here in 2013.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“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.
