This is my favorite Eraserheads song simply because it's the most mysterious. The wordplay is beautiful but the meaning is deeply hidden. The best theory that I came up with though is the fact that this song is an allegory for the most notorious ongoing territorial dispute in human history - Ownership of the Holy Land... Palestine (If you're not familiar with it, there are tons of resources on the internet). Long story short, Palestine was divided between 2 disputing parties - The State of Palestine (mostly Islamic) and The State of Israel (mostly Jewish). Anyway, the best parts of the song that somehow suggest this are: "Sometimes you win Sometimes you fail" - The endless Palestinian-Israeli conflict "Choose holy blood Choose holy grail" - A reference to the most famous Jewish-born Palestinian in human history (si Jesus, malamang). "And now at last Just two of us" - Self-Explanatory "Only one chair Who will sit there? Is it the king? Or is it the heir? It never ends" - I get goosebumps in this part. Especially due to the fact that what happened to the disputing parties is EXACTLY what happens to the last 2 contestants in a game of Musical Chairs. The suspiciously RED chair in the music video also possibly represents the land that they're fighting for... albeit, bloodstained. Crazy huh? We may never know what it really means... but that's the most fun part of listening to Eraserheads songs. They tend to have more depth than you would initially think.

Eraserheads may have been ahead of my time but listening to their songs makes no difference no matter what the timeline is. They are what I can call as one of the rarest real Pinoy music. They are a legend to Philippine Rock music . Every song is a classic ride. I LOVE YOU E-HEADS!!

Eraserheads är verkligen helt underbara! Varför har jag inte upptäckt dem tidigare? Kanske för att de höll till på andra sidan jordklotet

Bron in 1982. And i belong in the 90s generation. The happiest time of my life.

Eraserheads known as "The Beatles of the Philippines". Without Eraserheads there will be Alternative Pinoy bands nowadays. Mabuhay ka Eraserheads!

Open your door Dance on the floor Hey what's your name? Let's play a game Let it begin Your head will spin I am the champ Come see me stomp It never ends It never ends It never ends Oh tell me do you wanna fly? Fly high way up in the sky Or maybe you don't even have to try All you have to do is follow that star But when the star doesn't shine You won't be able to find your way And the wiseman will still remain The king of trip to Jerusalem Sometimes you win Sometimes you fail Choose holy blood Lose holy grail Just when you think you've gone so far You'll find yourself, back to the start It never ends It never ends It never ends Oh tell me do you wanna fly? Fly high way up in the sky Or maybe you don't even have to try All you have to do is follow that star But when the star doesn't shine You won't be able to find your way There won't be any other chance to be The king of trip to Jerusalem The music plays like a heavenly choir Lovely chairs are there if you get tired Don't listen to a word he says He's just trying to distract you Do your own thing Stick with what you are Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah Open your door Dance on the floor And now at last, just two of us Only one chair, who will sit there? Is it the king? or is it the heir? It never ends It never ends It never ends Oh tell me do you wanna fly? Fly high way up in the sky Or maybe you don't even have to try All you have to do is follow that star But when the star doesn't shine You won't be able to find your way The only thing that we can do is pray On a trip to Jerusalem On a trip to Jerusalem On a trip to Jerusalem On a trip to Jerusalem

mabuhay ang kabataan ng 90's...

And marcus' guitar adlibs have always been great in their songs.. Somewhat adds to their signature sound. I'm a fan since ultraelectro days!

yung style ng pag kanta nila para talagang BEATLES!!! paborito ko to ehhh👊👊👊👍

One of their mysterious songs I love how ely make lyrics out of something.

Kahit sino pa makilala ko na artist at band wala e babalik at babalik pa din puso ko sa kanila.Isa sa magandang kanta ng eheads!

1999 baby here buti nakaabot sa 90's kid. Maliit pa ako puro kanta na ng EHEADS pumapasok sa taenga ko kaya kabisado ko mga lyrics kahit di ko pa kilala yung banda na 'to. Sobrang solid ng mga kanta, thankful ako may mga nalikha silang kanta na pwedeng balik balikan. pakinggan mo lang ibabalik ka na sa kabataan. Nostalgic sa pandinig bawat kumpas. Isa 'to sa may magandang meaning. Long live legends

Brilliant yung video.. as simple as it get... tatak Eheads. Pero talagang ang malupet eh yung melody at lyrics nung song..... Batang 70s... teen nung 80s... listener nung 90s.... medyo critic na tayo ngayon... so far the best pop-rock OPM I've ever known.

Fun Fact: Backing Vocals: One is Rico Blanco 😎

Watching from Jerusalem. Long live eraserheads!!
