I spend my time
Letting these hopeless thoughts run my life
Force me to hide
Just create a truth to all these lies

I will never be the same
So just leave me down while I'm separating
I could never give anymore
All these lies have left me torn

It's only this way falling on my own
I made this mess now its over
It was nobody's fault, it was all my own
Everything's wasted forever

The only hand
That I know how to hold belongs to me
How it began
What I though was right became my insecurity

I will never be the same
So just leave me down while I'm separating
I could never give anymore
All these lies have left me torn

It's only this way falling on my own
I made this mess now its over
It was nobody's fault, it was all my own
Everything's wasted forever

It's on my own
It's on my own

Weakness becomes me
My faults relieve me
My fear excludes me
Turns it against me
My fault
My fear
Turned it against me

It's only this way falling on my own
I made this mess now its over
It was nobody's fault, it was all my own
Everything's wasted forever

It's only this way falling on my own
It's only this way falling on my own
It's only this way falling on my own
It's only this way, it's only this way

It's on my own
It's on my own

    Personally when I've listened to this song, it brings up alot of memories to me. I think it's about a person that has been pushed around and jaded. He has given everything that he could to try to make his life better, but people keep throwing shit back on him. All this added stress and ruin only has left him with pure paranoia and an altered life. No one was there to help him, and it's gotten to the point where some of his worst problems are the ones he has created through paranoia. "...I made this mess now it's over. It was nobodies fault it was all my own." Everyone has offered him nothing except problems and thats all that he has left.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
