Build an inner door, drop and then explore
You smoke your head on straight
Then drink your woes away
Some might not understand
Possession controls your head

You recognize it, while some ignore it
Avoid the masses, you've got to belong to it
(Belong to it)
(Belong to it)

Your music is your friend
But the roof above my head
So seriously I'll take
The will that never breaks
Some might not understand
Possession beyond your hands

You recognize it, while some ignore it
Avoid the masses, you've got to belong to it

You recognize it, while some ignore it
Avoid the masses, you've got to belong to it
(Belong to it)
(Belong to it)

It's power and sin
And then you've got on the other hand
Whiskey and smoke
It's all a man could need, to plant the perfect seed
Disembody me, yeah

You recognize it, while some ignore it
Avoid the masses, you've got to belong to it
(Belong to it)
(Belong to it)

    Oh and don't forget 'WHISKKKKAAAYYYEEEYAAAYYEEEAAAAYYYYYYY'. I can just imagine Phil sitting in some dark room smoking a crapload of weed and hammering back a bottle of whisky whilst having a really big beard...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
