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.
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
Sold out the love that she had, left with a cut of the throat
Drinks all 'round on her before she strolls to the moat
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
Oh
Count
Count your fucking blessings
Come on
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie
Counting every lie
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing
I'm asking you for just one thing
Eradicate this disease
Close your eyes, pray for plagues
Oh Lord, cleanse this Earth and bring upon our doomsday
Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth and bring doomsday
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch this rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood
Close your eyes, pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth, bring our doomsday
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
Sold out the love that she had, left with a cut of the throat
Drinks all 'round on her before she strolls to the moat
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
Oh
Count
Count your fucking blessings
Come on
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie
Counting every lie
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing
I'm asking you for just one thing
Eradicate this disease
Close your eyes, pray for plagues
Oh Lord, cleanse this Earth and bring upon our doomsday
Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth and bring doomsday
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch this rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood
Close your eyes, pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth, bring our doomsday

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."
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
I think this song is him talking about a slut that he knows and how she used to be a decent person who didn't sleep around.
''She starts her new diet of liquor and dick'' ''The sun goes down, and so does she''
sexual references. the sun goes down everyday, as does she with guys.
And he is trying to warn her away from sleeping around and asking her to stop.
''I'm asking you for just one thing, Eradicate this disease,''
''death will stand where life once stood,''
How she used to be a decent person but now is nobody.
Best song on the album!
honestly this song is not about 1 person .......it is about the worlds youth as a whole....when he says "she" it would be the same as calling your car a "she"<br /> <br /> "She starts her new diet of liquor and dick.<br /> Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick."<br /> the meaning to this is simple our youth just likes to get f***** up and have sex and while doing this it deff sounds like the perfect life "hollywood" or the image it potrays, but its saying the youth is the dark side of hollywood, or leading a sort of fake life where it looks great on the outside but honestly it is all cracked and torn "but laced in sick"<br /> <br /> "the sun goes down, and so does she"<br /> meaning day in day out its the same thing. when your young and dumb you are having a great time doing these things you know is wrong but it is the only thing on your mind its what you wanna do or be doing every second of every day.<br /> <br /> "Sold out the love that she had, left with a cut of the throat.<br /> Drinks all 'round on her before she strolls to the moat."<br /> this part of the song is saying the word or feeling every one now know of as "love" is nothing like it used to be. not it is a word used when you feel a physical attraction to a person instead of a life long bond and "left with a cut of the throat" saying once again just how f-ed up that is and how its all cracked and torn as well.<br /> "Drinks all round on her before she strolls to the moat" just meaning people feel like the need to be super messed up to do something they think people will look down apon so they can just later say "oh man i was so drunk" or "no way dude i would nvr have done that sober" "moat" just a place of rest or some sort of stop along the way<br /> <br /> "Close your eyes, pray for plagues.<br /> Oh Lord cleanse this Earth, and bring upon our dooms day."<br /> this is saying plz make our youth not so ignotent and shallow, someone needs to fix this to make kidz realize this is not a healthy way to live your life..."and bring upon our dooms day" all this is saying is that to the people who just party all the time and get all messed up it is a way of life and if this were to stop mabey thats the only way they know how to live and that would be the end of their life "dooms day"<br /> <br /> "So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now.<br /> Watch the rivers flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood."<br /> meaning if this is how we will live our lives our children will just fallow along with out a care. "watch the river flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood" saying it is inevitable, if life is like this there will be no more life no success equals nothing<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
another meaning to this song is the rapture based off the lines of "so clap your hands to the first unborn dying now so watch the rivers flow(or turn) to blood, death will stand where life once stood."
yeah FackingHell, you suck dick. you must listen to bullshit like N*Sync. i am 103% straight, but i would gladly have sex with oli any day haha. just kidding. but not really. anyways, BmtH is fucking awesome and anybody who disagrees automatically goes into the "queer-sauce" category
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............that's...interesting....
LMFAOOOOO
I love this song. Best oneo n the album by far :)
hahaha you are a faggot. bmth is the sex.
LOL aceindahole, just lol.
Anyway the song, yeah it's clearly got strong references from the bible. Plagues in eygypt. The first borns dying, and the river nile turning into blood.
Agreed he's talking about a girl who's turned into a slut.
"Sold out the love that she had, left with a cut of the throat" Basically she only hurt herself when she left her love?
Great song... I especially love the unexpectedly strong northern accents when it gets to; "COUNT YOR FUCKIN'".
Classic.
Honestly, I think this about a guys struggle through watching a friend, ex girlfriend, sister etc. going through deadly, and. or horrible things. He is praying that she will get ride of this 'disease' , but he knows it's never going to go away.
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick. ~She[Whoever she might be] is strating her path towards sin, drinking and having sex every night.~ Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick. ~A point saying that celebrities do this, and she doing it too, but much worse, and more nasty.~ The sun goes down, and so does she. ~Saying that Once the sun goes down, either she's already drunk and passed out by then, or going down on another guy.~ The sun goes down, and so does she. ~Above~
Sold out the love that she had, left with a cut of the throat. ~She gave up everything, and she slit her throat, possibly killing herself, or this could be a metaphor, and it could really be saying how a cut of the throat is just like getting drunk and becoming a whore.~ Drinks all 'round on her before she strolls to the moat. ~She drinks till she gets extremely drunk, and then goes back to someone's apartment, house etc. To have sex. The sun goes down, and so does she. ~Stated Above~ The sun goes down, and so does she. ~Stated Above!
Oh! Count!
Count your fucking blessings! Come on!
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie. Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie. Counting every lie. ~This whole verse is the guy saying how lucky she is to still be alive, to not have gotten anything, or been killed by countless sex partners. And he's counting every lie she tells him when she goes out.~
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing. I'm asking you for just one thing.
Eradicate this disease. ~He's asking god to give her another chance, to enlighten her so she can rid of this horrible disease~
Close your eyes, pray for plagues. ~To close your eyes, and pray that this will end soon.~ Oh Lord cleanse this Earth, and bring upon our dooms day. ~Someone wants to be cleansed so they can reach heaven at their death.~ Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues. ~Stated above~ Cleanse this Earth, and bring dooms day. ~Stated Above~
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick. Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick. The sun goes down, and so does she. The sun goes down, and so does she. ~Whole verse stated above~
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now. Watch the rivers flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood. ~It's saying that she is dying, slowly and gruesomely, the blood flowing like rivers out of her drained body. That where a pitiful life once stood, now is a marker of death.
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now. Watch the rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood. So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now. Watch this rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood. ~Stated above~
Close your eyes, pray for plagues. Cleanse this Earth, bring our dooms day.
~Stated above!~
Also at the end of the song, there is a clip of what I am guessing is a porn of a girl going..
"Ugh, Ugh, Uh huh Cum on my face.." It's kind of like an epilogue, nothing he prayed for, or wished for happened, and she's still out there fucking everyday. The part also kind of leads me to believe, whoever's Point of View this song was coming from, is a bit delusional. Like he dreamt of her dying, the blood flowing out of her, because he wanted revenge for her life changing so quickly. But this is just my interpretation. Hope you like it.
