Dead Letter Circus

I'm trying to find a way
So I can keep on searchin' for my own space
Hoping to see the signs I see you there, you there standin'
Holding an open door
Wish I could walk on past it, I want more
Hoping to see the right way
Saying something so I know where the end is
With or without this, feels like it's all just a game
You're standing where I see a solution, you are the problem
Should I go or stay?
Trying to find a way
So I can move my heart
And walk past open doors
Saying something so I know where the end is
With or without the effect of a casualty
You're standing where I see a solution, am I the problem?
Should I go or stay?
Yes I'm trying to find a way
So I can keep on searching for my own space
Hoping to see the signs
I see you there, you there standin'
Holding an open door
Wish I could walk on past it, I want more
Hoping to see the signs
Hoping to feel the right way
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind
I would hold it, I could just pretend
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind
I would hold it, I could just pretend
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind
I just wanna speak my mind
I just wanna speak my, mind
Trying to find a way
So I can keep on searching for my own space
Hoping to see the signs
I see you there standin', was it worth standing?

I see too many open doors
Wish I could walk on past it, but I want more
Hoping to see the right way Wanting to find the way
'Cause I'm trying to find my way

    The lyrics in the official booklet are as follows:

    Trying to find a way, so I can keep on searching for my own space, open to see the signs I see you there, you there standing Holding an open door Wish I could walk on past it I want more, hoping I see the right way

    Say something so I know when the end is With or without this feels like it's all just a game You're standing where I see a solution You are the problem, should I go or stay

    Trying to find a way, so I can move on And walk past open doors

    Say something so I know when the end is With or without the effect, I'm the casualty You're standing where I see a solution Am I the problem, should I go or stay

    As I'm trying to find a way So I can keep on searching for my own space Open to see the signs I see you there You there standing, holding an open door I wish I could walk on past it, I want more Open to see the signs Hoping I feel the right way

    This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind I would hold it if I could just pretend I just want to speak my mind

    Trying to find a way So I can keep on searching for my own space Open to see the signs I see you there standing where sense was standing I see too many open doors, wish I could walk on past it I want more, hoping I see the right way

    Trying to find a way, as I'm trying to find my way

    I think it's, "I would hold it IF I could just pretend"... I think!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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 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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
