Jet also received seven ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) nominations, six of which were awarded to the band.

That's All Lies
Jet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put your finger in the handgun
I fall down and I try to get up
But you smack me like a pinball
Soul, where did it go?
Climb to the top of the mountain but your still alone
Kicken' down your front door
That's all lies
(I wanna see, yes I wanna see)
That's all lies
(But everybody close the door on me)
That's all lies
(I think I'll download a brand new head)
That's all lies
(I'm already dead)
And I think I've seen the light,
Yeah I, I'm gonna be here a long time
My my, at it again
But you said you don't need it
My my, pie in the sky
Ain't ever gonna hit me
Soul, where did it go?
Climb to the top of the mountain break your backbone
Kicken' at your front door
But your never home
That's all lies
(I wanna see, yes I wanna see)
That's all lies
(But everybody close the door on me)
That's all lies
(I think I'll download a brand new head)
That's all lies
(I'm already dead)
And I think I've seen the light,
Yes I think I see the light, I'll be here for a long time, Yeah.
The lyrics to "That's All Lies" by Jet are quite angsty and suggest feelings of frustration and disillusionment. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer feels beaten down and alone, yet they are being attacked by someone who allegedly cares about them. The line "Put your finger in the handgun" suggests a reckless and dangerous situation, where the singer is being forced to confront something that could potentially harm them. Despite their efforts to get up and move forward, the singer is continuously pushed back like a pinball.
The second verse continues the theme of disconnection and isolation, with the singer asking "Soul, where did it go?" in a rhetorical way. The metaphor of climbing to the top of the mountain, only to still be alone, emphasizes the feeling of being lost and not knowing where to turn. The repeated line "But your never home" suggests that the person the singer is seeking validation or connection from is never available or present. The chorus repeats the phrase "That's all lies" several times, suggesting that the singer is beginning to see through the facade of their situation and is ready to move on. The closing lines, "And I think I've seen the light / Yeah I, I'm gonna be here a long time" suggest a newfound clarity and determination to persevere in the face of adversity.

@RealKungFu
Love the intro! Can’t wait to see all 200 fruit trees planted and the full raised bed network completed! Then, we will rest like Thanos 🌅👍🏼
@keesmooij301
The fruit trees are those to compensate for the destruction of the trees in the forest?
@amanell95
@@keesmooij301 To bring in more biodiversity. The trees planted there over the last 100 years were just logging trees. When this is done the ecosystem of that area can be severely damaged. By removing the trees that are basically "invasive" and replacing them with multiple different types of plants that thrive in that zone, you are able to bring life back to it's normal ecosystem and create biodiversity. Hope that helps explain it :)
