Rebirth

orbit culture

My sun, it's time to leave this world
It's time to leave the daylight stream
It's time to feel this rain
Through the fire hail

This is all I have to say
This is all that's left of me
In this shell I've lived through hell
Walking icy plains

I cannot take what this world gave me
I cannot live through this hell
I cannot take this life that I've been given
I've always sung the words and songs of death

I didn't let you
I'd never let you go so far from my heart

But the clock is ticking

I didn't let you go
I'd never let you go so far from my heart

You'll see
You'll see

I've walked through these halls
But I cannot see through it all
I've lost control
Forgiveness perfected, somewhat, something
But never far from home

Maybe you'll see
Maybe you'll see

I've lived my life in escape from the sun
Living life dead

I didn't let you go
I'd never let you go so far from my heart

But the clock is ticking

I didn't let you go
I'd never let you go so far from my heart

Pain in silence sets free chaos

The tears from this heart
The mind locked in shock
The rising of seas at last

The real life succumb
The new seed is done
This new dark is born once more

Put the bullet through my head and silence this hell
'cause the fire ain't alive, set me free
Put the bullet through my head and make me feel alive

Pray for brighter days
The black shores awaiting
On board this grave-bound train
A sip from the ocean

Take this life, God, I don't need it
Full of thoughts, the ugly needs
Give me oceans, waves in motion
Nothingness is always part of me

In head, rewinding thoughts of death
In head, reliving daily death

    My Interpretation

    Vocalist Niklas Karlsson says this song is the first of a trilogy of songs by the band taking on Harm-OCD in its most horrific and fullest form & the sinister anxiety that comes with it. This is a song about an almost savage desire to engage in administering harm to ones self to as a relief to whatever darkness has been birthed inside. The agony in ones soul is always present for some & they can't kill it so they hurt themselves in an attempt at a purge.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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."

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.

Blue
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.
