Skinny Puppy

Under a cave-in beaten
Educated and believes
Unload a gun the sun
Into the breach from which it came

Aside from writing walls up
Put on as if facts to see
Reactions cause deferral
From a passed on future's needs

Pissing on clocks uncertain
Heavy breathing can he breathe
This test is way past stress points
Pushes buttons full release

They change the world for certain
Meaning and false profits made
We're spending all the future
Future's never ours to see

Hang it up
(Spin with contented vision)
Back it out
(Put it back in its place)
Fade for what my black eyes colorize

Pack it up
(Stop losing opposition)
Shake it out
(Putting up with this place)
Stained bloodied eyes red full of lies colorize

Fade out in one act
Overturning neverending dream
All coming caught up in
The moments we can never see

Aside from writing walls up
(Forever hating)
Put on as if facts to see
(Forever getting)
Reactions cause deferral
(Forever taking taking...)
From a passed on future's needs

Hang it up
(Spin with contented vision)
Back it out
(Put it back in its place)
Shade for what my black eyes colorize

Pack it up
(Stop losing opposition)
Shake it out
(Putting up with this place)
Stained bloodied eyes red full of lies colorize

The party's lost a lot of cash and forest for the trees
They've made a mistake and I'm never older than my trees

Eyes gonna hate
Want want wanna wanna wake up
Wanna wanna wake up

Eyes don't hate what
Wanna wanna wake up
Wanna wake up
Wanna wanna wake up

Eyes gonna hate that
Wanna wanna wake up
Eyes gonna hate that
Wanna wanna wake up

Eyes don't fake that
Wanna want to make up

Otherwise face it
Ever ever...

    My Interpretation

    I think this song is more generally criticizing a modern society that sees the world (both morally and "scientifically", for lack of a better word), in black and white. Saying that that's dream logic, and society needs to wake up.

    Wake up, free men... wake up and smell the ashes :P.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
