This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Love...
was never enough...
Throughout time,
There is some given up.
Will,
kept me standing alone...
If only I could have one dance,
I would move on my own...
In tattered daydreams,
that slip through the night...
I'm a prince, king, warrior...
and I'm doing things right...
But every dayream,
leaves me awake lonely nights,
If I was a bird, just spread my wings...
and take off and fly.
Yea, yea yea yea
I had this swirlin ache from
Sprays of honeysuckle
That when they are gathered break
Will do on the knuckle
I had small sweets, but those seemed small when I was young
The pedal of the rose was stung.
Yea, nyah nyah nyah nyah
So in this dream I walk
With my head held high
Cause here I'll live forever
And never die
I see my soul stright ahead
With his eyes locked on mine
If I should wake, right now..
I'd rather be blind
And in these dreams with love
Together we'd stand
I'm slippin fallin to earthward,
and I can't reach her hand
Yea, yea, yea, yea
I had this swirlin ache from
Sprays of honeysuckle
That when they are gathered break
Will do on the knuckle
I had small sweets, but those seemed small when I was young
The pedal of the rose was stung.
Yea, nyah nyah nyah nyah
My eyes opened wide
And I lost myself
I'm layin here in my bed,
there's no body else
Surrounded by questions, hate, and blood soaked war
I clasp my hands together... and pray,
Ask what it's all for
It's easy for me to slip away
And live on the air
If we'd all just let love live...
We could all meet there
But time has it's way of saying,
It's time to move on
So off to my kingdom I go
Where I feel at home
Yea, yea, yea, yea
I had this swirlin ache from
Sprays of honeysuckle
That when they are gathered break
Will do on the knuckle
I had small sweets, but those seemed small when I was young
The pedal of the rose was stung.
Yea, nyah nyah nyah nyah
was never enough...
Throughout time,
There is some given up.
Will,
kept me standing alone...
If only I could have one dance,
I would move on my own...
In tattered daydreams,
that slip through the night...
I'm a prince, king, warrior...
and I'm doing things right...
But every dayream,
leaves me awake lonely nights,
If I was a bird, just spread my wings...
and take off and fly.
Yea, yea yea yea
I had this swirlin ache from
Sprays of honeysuckle
That when they are gathered break
Will do on the knuckle
I had small sweets, but those seemed small when I was young
The pedal of the rose was stung.
Yea, nyah nyah nyah nyah
So in this dream I walk
With my head held high
Cause here I'll live forever
And never die
I see my soul stright ahead
With his eyes locked on mine
If I should wake, right now..
I'd rather be blind
And in these dreams with love
Together we'd stand

Yea, yea, yea, yea

Yea, nyah nyah nyah nyah

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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.
