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.
We're breakin' out this time
Makin' out with the wind
And I'm so disconnected
I'm never gonna check back in
We're gonna start a new life
See how it goes
Before we're tired and too slow
We'll never get any other life
There's too far to go
So together we make this whole
Can you remember the moment
Did you forget that time?
We were switching a ride in the car coming by
On a Saturday night
You said there's nothing to wait for
There's nothing to know
Were never waking up if we never let it go
I said I wanna believe but I'm out of control
And I've got so far to go, whoa
It's coming out of the dark now
It's dripping off my skin
It's on the tip of my tongue as I drift through my body
Into the city within
And now the people are breathing
The air is alive
It's coming out of the street light
And now the battle is over
Whenever we decide that
There's nothing left to hide
This is all we've got tonight
This is all we've got tonight
We are young and still alive
Now the time is on our side
Right now, we'll make it right now
When every thought is electrical
Right now, we'll make it right now
The dream is coming
You're gonna see how it works
You're gonna see it connect
You're gonna see em surrender oh
Right now, we'll make it right now
Or nothing's gonna change
And maybe we already know the way
Forever every day
Do you know why the spirit's calling
For my end to see?
It reminds us we're alive, this moment,
Of who we are, what we could be
There's nothing to pray for
There's nothing to know
We're never waking up if we never let it go
The fever is coming
It's shaking the ground
The city's alive so tonight we break out
It's coming apart now it's not too far
We'll never know why we arrive where we are
We'll never know why we bring the seed in these times
But if you wanna get high kid, just open your eyes
This is all we've got tonight
This is all we got tonight
We are young and still alive
And now the time is on our side
This is all we got tonight
This is all we got tonight
We are young and still alive
And now the time is on our side
This is all we got tonight
This is all we got tonight
We are young and still alive
And now the time is on our side
Makin' out with the wind
And I'm so disconnected
I'm never gonna check back in
We're gonna start a new life
See how it goes
Before we're tired and too slow
We'll never get any other life
There's too far to go
So together we make this whole
Can you remember the moment
Did you forget that time?
We were switching a ride in the car coming by

You said there's nothing to wait for
There's nothing to know
Were never waking up if we never let it go

It's dripping off my skin

And now the people are breathing

It's coming out of the street light
And now the battle is over
Whenever we decide that
There's nothing left to hide
This is all we've got tonight
This is all we've got tonight
We are young and still alive

This is all we got tonight
We are young and still alive
And now the time is on our side

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
I think this song is summed up right here
but if you wanna get high kid, just open your eyes
this is all we've got tonight this is all we got tonight
Getting high off of "free energy", or readily available energy from your surroundings
this song is toats just the bio of the band, cause the founders paul, scott, and evan were all originally from minnesota and they moved to philly where geoff was living. so their talking about how they "started a new life and see how it goes." Also if you read their bad bio their music is all about making you feel better when your pissed off or sad. Their giving you some energy, some free energy BOOM. :D
