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 don't like the steps I took to get to look into your deepest feelings
And I don't like the place I'm in head space within the hardwood and the ceiling
Cause if I'm restless than why do I
I want nothing but to rest my soul
And I don't get this and I know why
You see sometimes things are just beyond control
But I don't mind but I'm not surprised to find that you do
I'm not surprised to find that you do
I know you do
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die too.
Clinging to the remnants of perfection like most do after they break
It not knowing which directions the correct one do I discard or remake it
Cause if I don?t know than I don't know
But I may know someone who knows me more than I
And if I somehow could rest this soul
Maybe control could find its way back to my life
But I don't mind but I'm not surprised to find that you do
You see I know that I have done all this to you, to you
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
Yeah, I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die too.
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you, my baby, yeah, my darling
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you alone
And I don't like the place I'm in head space within the hardwood and the ceiling
Cause if I'm restless than why do I
I want nothing but to rest my soul
And I don't get this and I know why
You see sometimes things are just beyond control
But I don't mind but I'm not surprised to find that you do
I'm not surprised to find that you do
I know you do
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die too.
Clinging to the remnants of perfection like most do after they break
It not knowing which directions the correct one do I discard or remake it
Cause if I don?t know than I don't know
But I may know someone who knows me more than I
And if I somehow could rest this soul
Maybe control could find its way back to my life
But I don't mind but I'm not surprised to find that you do
You see I know that I have done all this to you, to you
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
Yeah, I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die too.
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you, my baby, yeah, my darling
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you alone

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is pretty self-explanatory, just trying to be a better person for God, every day, what is the reason? He is.
this song is sooo inspiring....I luv it!!!
sheshaw3 I agree. I think that is what he is trying to say. I think that it also has to do with putting things done in the past behind him and trying to be a better servant of God. The first couple of lines remind me of some things that I have gone through, they remind me of when I was trying as hard as I could to be what God wants me to be, but sorta realizing that whenever I don't try so hard it just happens. Anyways, Relient K is one of the biggest driving forces in my life. Great album, more than I had expected from it, I bought 5 copies to super support the band, since they don't play here much.

This song is really relevent in my life right now, and it helped put a few things in perspective for me. I think the album stinks though, and this is pretty much the only song worth anything (except Deathbed).
Corrections.
"contentment is the all that it entails" should be "contentment is the one thing it entails
"me with what I need to be" should be "me with what I need for a good life"
@ swft24: Why do you think the album stinks? Don't just say it does and not give a reason why. I think it shows their progression from a bunch of kids singing blatantly about Jesus to a group of open minded talented adults making their music hit the airwaves, while still sending out the message that they wanted to. My friend Dan was not a Christan most of his life, but I gave him this CD on my school trip on Spring Break, because he had nothing to listen to. Well on the last day at about 2 A.M. he came up to me in tears (NOTE: this is a guy who NEVER crys) and said, "I don't get it, but I want to get it." I guess out of context that would make no sense to most of you, but he wanted to learn about God and Jesus, and so on, and it was because of this album, had he listened to the S/T album he would have disregarded it and not cared. So in my opinion this is their best album, it shows progress, intelligence, energy, and still speaks for what they were trying to speak about from the beginning. Just my 2 cents on the album.
good song, but not the best on the cd. Deathbed is one of the best well written songs i've heard in awhile. Then there is Devastation and Reform, which is just simply rockin.
As far as best album goes, im not sure about that. Im still liking MHMM, but this is album is in a close second. And actually their Apathetic EP is truly great also.
warade: if it touched someone, then I am wrong. It just didn't touch me like Mmhmm. And I disagree with you about how they progressed, I think most of this album was a digression. They had really shed their happy go lucky teen face and really grew up with deep meaningful lyrics on Mmhmm, and the Apathetic EP seemed like they could go even further. But then I listened to Five Score and it seemed like they took a step backwards to where they had been with Two Lefts. I just don't get how they changed that much from Apathetic EP to this, and for me it's a dissapointment
swft24 you are totally right and I felt the same way after the first listen through. Their A&R guy pushed them too far. And at first I found faking my own suicide pretty tasteless and offensive. Idk this album was a major disappointment!
I think the album was a digression as well, but i feel like there were some real highlights where they really shined, the problem is... my favorite wasn't on the CD, Fallen Man was amazing, one of my favorite songs yet from Relient K, also Death Bed, I Need You, Forgiven and Devestation and Reform were all highlights in my own opinion. I thought Come Right Out and Say It was the catchiest song and should have been the second single, but also felt they fell far short of what they could have accomplished... Forgiven was a weak slow song compared with (The Moments I Feel Faint, Getting Into You, and When I Go Down), and songs like Must Have Done Something Right, The Best Thing (although there are some good riffs there), this song, are all a little too sugar coated for me, also I have personally never liked Faking My Own Suicide, it just never sounded good to me. This is just my own opinion, not to offend anyone, if u have any comments i'd love to hear them! Man... I can't believe Fallen Man wasn't on the album!
Personally, I like Must Have Done Something Right...<br /> <br /> Though I agree, there are a few songs on there I don't like. My sister only borrowed the disc and downloaded a few songs (I may get the whole one, if only for Crayon Can mlt on Us for All I care) Lock The Windows, Why Don't You, I Need You or So I'm taking you With Me- I just haven't eben a big fan of heavy rockish songs.
This album is in my opinion their best album so far, they have gone from beeing somewhat silly to beeing serious, but still with humour. This is actually the first album in which I have liked all of the songs!
