Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

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.

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 hilarious. It makes fun of celebrities who make it to the top and suddenly have nowhere else to go to feel like good, productive people, so they branch out into charity work and try to "save the world." I like how it starts out normal "disasters, fires, floods" and gets absurd by the end of the first line: They care about "killer bees," and finally just gets downright ridiculous "We care a lot about Transformers because there's more than meets the eye."
Terrific.
i like mosley's voice
you got the lyriks wrong, its smack and crack and whack, not crack and smack and whack
Chuck Mosley definitely had a good voice for punk. But I think that was the problem, the rest of the band just wasn't punk, and it didn't really work with many songs other than this one.
Without a doubt my favorite genre in music is punk, but Mike Patton suited Faith No More so much better technically that there's just no comparing Mosley to him. I agree mostly with mykal77, when you hear Patton cover this song you realize how badly he outclassed Mosley even at his own game.
It's a pity Mike Patton changed so much over the years though. There were a couple of good tracks on Peeping Tom, but half the time he tries so hard to be strange that his music ends up lame, and it's annoying to listen to knowing how much talent he has. He's just gone way over the top but I guess that's his schtick now.
As for the meaning of this song, I think it's about people who get caught up in the news and go on a morality rampage to place themselves on a moral high ground, so they feel superiority & self worth. Or alternatively, I think it could be about apathy in our society.
It's about famous people dping charity shows. Like live aid. "It's a dirty job, but someones gotta do it" is meant sarcasticly..
Moseley is actually a great vocalist, but his style suited punk much better. Listen to the Crab Song by FNM from Introduce Yourself, its probably their best Moseley-Era song.
I completely agree, Crab Song is a fucking masterpiece.
you cant beat a song that says: "About Transformers cos there more than meets the eye" Classic, My friend Aidan, my partner Ricky and I saw them last week and our friend kept singing " We care a lot, about the fishes and the animals in the zoo" We got a little bit of a gigle out of it lol
about disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah
That's pretty sick, haha.
It's easy to be indifferent to the ways of the world, but that just leads to one living an empty life.
I like the version of We Care A Lot more on this album than on their 2nd one, this one feels more like true grunge and feels more rebellious.
