This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
forever your eyes will hold the memory
i saw your heart as it overtook me
we tried so hard to understand and reason
but in the one moment i gave my heart away
the perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
and all i knew is what had overtaken me
with no explanation
i am comforted by my inability to understand
when i wake from this dream will you still be here?
will your smile still open my heart
and leave me trasparent?
i saw your heart as it overtook me
we tried so hard to understand and reason
but in the one moment i gave my heart away
the perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
and all i knew is what had overtaken me
with no explanation
i am comforted by my inability to understand
when i wake from this dream will you still be here?
will your smile still open my heart
and leave me trasparent?

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I definitely agree w/ dawnofreckoning. I saw that show and As I Lay Dying destroyed everyone else.
I think he might be talking about the moment when he first gave his life to Christ. and how you simply can't explain in words the power of the Holy Spirit coming into your heart.
This Song Is Awesome!
What does it mean?
Ignore MissMaryJane. AILD is a Christian band, and this song is about an unexplainable experience in his relationship with God.<br /> <br /> forever your eyes will hold the memory<br /> i saw your heart as it overtook me<br /> we tried so hard to understand and reason<br /> but in the one moment i gave my heart away<br /> <br /> It is seemingly impossible to comprehend the feeling you experience when in a deep relationship with God. One moment can change everything, and you can realize things you've never thought of before.<br /> <br /> the perfect breath where my mind lay beside me<br /> and all i knew is what had overtaken me<br /> with no explanation<br /> i am comforted by my inability to understand<br /> <br /> God is beyond our understanding, and often we question if these experiences are all in our minds or if they are actually happening. However, the experience is so great, we can only believe it is truly God working in our lives. We should be comforted by the fact that he is infinitely beyond us, and loves us infinitely nonetheless. <br /> <br /> when i wake from this dream will you still be here?<br /> will your smile still open my heart<br /> and leave me transparent? <br /> <br /> When the experience is over, do we take it to heart? Do we keep it within us and display it as we live? Often experiences with God are so great that they feel like a dream, and to "leave your heart open" or live your experience afterward is the true test of the experience. If you truly accept the gifts of God, your life will change.
Like most of AILD songs, it is a love song, simple as that.
I saw these guys with Sworn Enemy and Himsa, they owned both of them easily.
i seen that sworn enemy show w/ as i lay and himsa. it fuckin rocked, although i gotta stay true to sworn enemy for owning the show
saw these guys with In Flames and Killswitch Engage recently ... and these guys got owned ... their live show sucked and all the songs sounded the same ... with different music ... all the lyrics just melded together into a lump of garbage ... the guitarist was sic though ... KsE easily wasted both bands ... because theyre the best
I love the beat and how fast it moves from one thing to the next..Id have to say tho, In Flames is a bit better but As i Lay Dying is a damn close second to them!
first of all the guitars in this song make me wanna cry and at the same time destroy everything around me. to me this song is about a person (girl or boy) to which the writer was very close to but now he can't understand what made his heart feel that way. the memory of that person will forever be in the authors heart but now that he got over the relationship/break he asks that special person if he/she is still going to make him feel that way again.
One of the only AILD songs I can tolerate along with 94 Hours. I have to say the guitars are awesome, but the vocals leave something to be desired. I saw these guys with KsE and In Flames, and definately these guys sucked hardcore. In Flames were great, but nothing beats KsE live. All of AILD's songs sounded the same because all the singer does is scream incoherantly. There is no Variation from scream to melody.
