(Arcadia)

In this broken world
Numbers falling down
We're only here to serve
Always in disguise
We never see his eyes
Big brother's watching
Yeah big brother's watching us

Take what you want, no need to compromise
We're all asleep, someone please wake us up
Take me away from this Arcadia
I'm looking for the glitches to break out of this matrix

Woho woho
Arcadia
Woho woho
Arcadia

We can't change the world
We can't beat the game
We're only NPCs
We better learn to play
This simulation game
Big brother's watching
Yeah big brother's watching us

Take what you want, no need to compromise
We're all asleep, someone please wake us up
Take me away (away) from this (from this) Arcadia
I'm looking for the glitches to break out of this matrix

Woho woho
Arcadia
Woho woho
Arcadia

Woho woho
Arcadia
Woho woho
Arcadia

In this simulation, a part of my frustration
They know what I'm thinkin', I feel that I'm sinking
From this algorithm, they feed my information
Stuck inside the game, I'm the sheep and you're my master

I need a transformation from this stimulation

Take what you want, no need to compromise
We're all asleep, someone please wake us up (wake us up)
Take me away from this Arcadia (Arcadia)
I'm looking for the glitches to break out of this matrix

Woho woho
Arcadia
Woho woho
Arcadia (Arcadia)

Woho woho
Arcadia
Woho woho
Arcadia

    Song Meaning

    This song addresses ideas that are visible to all of us in this day and age — living in the word of technology makes us very close to each other and to our dreams but also extremely lonely and distant. Arcadia is a metaphor to life being a game where everyone feel like they are being controlled by the main player. With a reference to George Orwell’s 1984 “Big brother’s watching” it signifies how trapped one can feel living in the system where things we want seem impossible to reach and how precalculated everything may feel. The song encourages its listeners to go for what they want without compromises despite living in the matrix-like world.

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
