    Lyrics:
    Culture sucks down words
    Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
    Organise your safe tribal war
    Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto
    Each day living out a lie
    Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever
    Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
    Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

    Played this at my 22 year old sons funeral in June, I can still hear him singing his heart out to it from his room (badly I might add 😂) miss him so much but listening to music he loved fills me with joy

      Absolutely buddy. Music has the power to let us be "Better of than dead!" to quote Lou Reed. Somedays I'll literally feel like I can't live another Day, then I'll put some music on, or pick my bass up. An hour later I wonder how I coulda bin so fuckin down and so, so alone in this hateful world. Pick myself up and move on.
      Hey. I know it's 3 months ago, but I totally get where your coming from in your comment. There IS love and kindness our there. It WILL find you and you will find happiness, not emptiness.

    The Manics sighned with Columbia Records in 1992 and they are still together in 2024. Show me another relationship in the music business like that, with both parties respectping the hell each other.
    Thanks to that support the Manics were able to become the All Time Rock Legends that they are. The Brits had Blur and Oasis, but the Manics have all the bluster and power of Oasis combines with the intelligence, brilliant songwriting and subtedly of Blur. And they are Welsh!!!

    @justmadeit2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +471

    Missing person : Richey Edwards. He wrote many lyrics as a member of the Manics, and went missing for good, must have been a tortured soul. A life without peace of mind is a nightmare and just exhausting. Richey was intelligent and well read, but he couldnt seem to find peace. He went missing in Feb 1995, i think he probably jumped off the Severn bridge in Wales.
    Peace of mind is everything in life. I sometimes think that the saying " He who increases knowledge, increases sorrow" is actually a true saying. Because you are too aware of everything, and the more you learn the more questions you have and it can drive you mad. But who wants to live a life of ignorance ? The key is if we can transcend our personal suffering, find a balance, and recognise that the world has problems. Then we can come out the other side a new person, a person with some peace of mind and a way to live.
    Life is a crazy thing sometimes, and it surprises me sometimes that more people dont have breakdowns if im honest with the way they live their lives, or maybe because they are corporate slaves in nice suits year after year, or really just because of this society that we live in in general, which is one of global inequality and exploitation. But more than anything, life can feel like a struggle for some. Thinking honestly about this world and all that goes on it in, can be hard on the mind. Life can be amazing too. Negativity is not the answer, i have seen where that has taken me in the past. If you have peace of mind, be grateful, because being happy with yourself is everything. Dont make heroes out of damaged people, even if you enjoy their contribution to the world.

      Best comment. Totally correct about Richey Edwards - I remember he likes wearing skirts, but as an authentic punk, am not saying that judgementally nor critically. I came to the Manics, right from the off, the early stuff: great guitar rock and meaningful, poignant lyrics. After a period of "dropping out" squatting in London, in, amongst others, Waterloo Fire Station, where The Clash played at a party we held one night, setting fire to a VW Beetle whilst singing London's Burning ( unforgettable ), I returned to education, eventually gaining several degrees & PhD. Being knowledgeable, replete with facts, a polyglot, allegedly "intelligent" is NOT Wisdom. It's taken me over half a century to find the kind of inner peace and self-confidence you touched upon, my only regret, not having accomplished this sooner. But that is Life - and NOTHING whatsoever compares to real-life experience. I've seen and lost many along the way - great people, compassionate, giving, but concealing a sensitivity behind masks of bravado which ultimately was their undoing. Maybe my Liverpool-Irish upbringing, the alcoholism, violence, psychopathic mother pouring Castrol GTX round the house threatening to set fire to it with us still inside, a stepfather found decapitated on the main West Coast railway line, drunken father almost killing my grandfather (charged with attempted murder) has NOT hardened me but granted me a degree of perspective preparing me for this Life with its Joy and Beauty but all too often suffering and pain. Peace & Blessings, H

    Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
    Life lies a slow suicide
    Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
    From feudal serf to spender
    This wonderful world of purchase power
    Just like lungs sucking on air
    Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
    Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
    Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
    All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
    All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
    Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
    Drive away and it's the same
    Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
    Your joys are counterfeit
    This happiness corrupt political shit
    Living life like a comatose
    Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow
    Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
    Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

      The lyrics "Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
      /Your joys are counterfeit" are absent from this version. An interesting omission.

      Not quite. Hes not saying “nothing is really important” more so just pointing out and exposing the flaws of our current economic system and culture in the modern world. People are more disconnected unhappy and unfulfilled than ever before. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need, because were unhappy with ourselves, why? Because we don’t have the things advertising tells us we should have or look the way advertisers say we should look (through models). This is what the song is talking about when he says “Itemize loathing and feed yourself smiles”. People buy things because they’re unhappy but it never fulfills you.
