This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Coquet coquette, you know I won't forget
How you kissed me strange to prove you were mythical
Oh, my coquet, you used my voice as your ugly vehicle
Coquet coquette, you know I won't forget
How you hurt me twice to prove you were cynical
My coquet, you are the death, you are the pinnacle
With you I can only see my black light constellations
And other shit, I don't think I have the language to say
I don't want to catch you with some other guy's face
Under your eyelids, something must be wrong
You give me emotional artifacts that can find no purchase
Coquet coquette, you know I won't forget
How you sold me out to prove you were typical
Oh, my coquet, you're Herculean, you are so miserable
Coquet coquette, you know I won't forget
How you made me cry to prove I was beautiful
Oh, my coquet, my teenage lust for you is so pitiful
With you I can only see my black light constellations
And other shit, I don't think I have the language to say
I don't want to catch you with some other guy's face
Under your eyelids, something must be wrong
You give me emotional artifacts that can find no purchase
How you kissed me strange to prove you were mythical
Oh, my coquet, you used my voice as your ugly vehicle
Coquet coquette, you know I won't forget
How you hurt me twice to prove you were cynical
My coquet, you are the death, you are the pinnacle
With you I can only see my black light constellations
And other shit, I don't think I have the language to say
I don't want to catch you with some other guy's face
Under your eyelids, something must be wrong
You give me emotional artifacts that can find no purchase
Coquet coquette, you know I won't forget
How you sold me out to prove you were typical
Oh, my coquet, you're Herculean, you are so miserable
Coquet coquette, you know I won't forget
How you made me cry to prove I was beautiful
Oh, my coquet, my teenage lust for you is so pitiful
With you I can only see my black light constellations
And other shit, I don't think I have the language to say
I don't want to catch you with some other guy's face
Under your eyelids, something must be wrong
You give me emotional artifacts that can find no purchase

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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 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

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.
if kevin barnes hasn't the language to say something it probably can't be said.
My thoughts exactly.
I believe that some have you have missed how often Kevin Barnes focuses on the pain people cause each other. I get the feeling that this is about being involved with someone who is unintentionally emotionally abusive.
"Coquet Coquette, you know I won't forget How you made me cry to prove I was beautiful"
I don't think the sex matters in this song all that much, but say this is a man's feelings about a woman. I think that the man experienced a time that he only felt like his emotions were important to her when the woman hurt him enough that he could only express it in a way that she couldn't ignore.
if kevin barnes doesn't know me, how the hell he can know exactly what i am feeling?!!!!
Oh and it's "Coquet Coquette"
Beautiful and pitiful should be changed to dutiful and beautiful, respectively. At least that's the way it is in the studio version.
There's a chorus in this song!
Coquet means flirtatious and coquette means flirtatious woman. But coquet can also mean a flirtatious man, which might mean this coquet-coquette is a flirtatious transgender! And then you look at the line "guy's face under your eyelids" and wonder.
I'm pretty sure the line about a guy's face isn't about a transgender person. <br /> The song is about teenage-style lust and him being very jealous, not wanting her to even think at all about another guy.<br /> <br /> Right on about the dutiful and beautiful though
It's Kevin Barnes, it could mean a man, women, or someone completely gender queer. But given the context of the rest of the lyrics, it's probably about a woman of sorts. Something tells me Georgie Fruits won't be making an appearance this album.
I assume "Guy face under your eyelids" (Which I honestly feel to be a brilliant piece of lyricism) is referring to the fact that the woman is dreaming about another guy's face.
I think the song is a description of a female lover by a male lover. He speaks of the loyalty of their romance. And I think the final line just is saying that "you make me feel in ways indescribable."
I think it is "You are the depth, you are the pinnacle." Makes sense.
I've heard different recordings of this song and I noticed that beautiful/dutiful and pitiful/beautiful get switched up.
May everyone who sees this know I'm posting this some time after the release date of False Priest was announced. I cannot wait :')
It's "earthly vehicle" How was this even up before they even put it up for a free download?
i had a live version.
"i don't want to catch you with some other guy's face under your eyelids" -kevin barnes is a genius
Coquet Coquette, you know I won't forget How you kissed me strange to prove you were mythical Oh my Coquette, you used my voice as your earthly vehicle Coquet Coquette, you know I won't forget How you hurt me twice to prove you were cynical Oh my Coquette, you are the death, you are the pinnacle
With you I can only see my black-light constellations And other shit I don't think I have the language to say I don't want to catch you with some other guy's face under your eyelids Something must be wrong, you give me emotional artifacts that can find no purchase
Coquet Coquette, you know I won't forget How you sold me out to prove you were typical Oh my Coquette, you're Herculean, you are so miserable Coquet Coquette, you know I won't forget How you made me cry to prove I was beautiful Oh my Coquette, my teenage lust for you is so pitiful
