This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Everybody's talking
But they don't say a thing
They look at me with sad eyes
But I don't want their sympathy
It's cool you didn't want me
Sometimes you can't go back
By why'd you have to go
And make a mess like that
Well I just have to say before I let go
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know
Were you left out in the cold
'Cause what you did was low
No I don't need your number
There's nothing left to say
'Cept I never thought it'd
Hurt this much to be saved
My friends are outside waiting
I've gotta go
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know
Were you left out in the cold
'Cause what you did was low
What you did was low
What you did was low
What you did was low
I walk out of this darkness
With no sense of regret
And I go with a clear conscience
We both know that you can't say that
This to show for all the time I loved you so
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know
Were you left out in the cold
'Cause what you did was low
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know
Were you left out in the cold
'Cause what you did was low
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
'Cause what you did was low
But they don't say a thing
They look at me with sad eyes
But I don't want their sympathy
It's cool you didn't want me
Sometimes you can't go back
By why'd you have to go
And make a mess like that
Well I just have to say before I let go
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know
Were you left out in the cold
'Cause what you did was low
No I don't need your number
There's nothing left to say
'Cept I never thought it'd
Hurt this much to be saved
My friends are outside waiting
I've gotta go
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know
Were you left out in the cold
'Cause what you did was low
What you did was low
What you did was low
What you did was low
I walk out of this darkness
With no sense of regret
And I go with a clear conscience
We both know that you can't say that
This to show for all the time I loved you so
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know
Were you left out in the cold
'Cause what you did was low
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know
Were you left out in the cold
'Cause what you did was low
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
'Cause what you did was low

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
No Surprises
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
It's about a break-up. He cheated on her, treated her like crap, etc. I can actually say it's about my ex. Everyone saw him hold her hand, everyone saw him be all over her while going on his ignoring spree with me completely outta nowhere, no one told me anything. I had to find the pictures myself. Everyone had sympathy for me. He never said a word to me since he cheated. I even had to break up with him on an email; THAT is how much he was ignoring me. Still no word. What he did was low. And what's weird now is that he's stalking me. Too late asshole.
"And I go with a clear conscience. We both know that you can’t say that"
Got that right.
Awesome, awesome song! I heard it's gonna be the new single. I think the song is pretty self explanatory, some guy cheated on her or lied or sumthing, and she's telling him off, basiclly. :)
well i had a fight with my mate coz she lied to me and seriously when the truth comes out its suprising how many people knew and didnt say its fucked up all the lies she told me came out i can never forgive her for a best friend that IS low
"Except I never though it’d hurt this much to be sane (?)" Except I never thought it hurt this much to be saved
Anyways, I love this song, the chorus relates to me. -_-"
I thought it was "except i never thought it hurt this much to be safe." I dunno if thats right but yah Um i think this song is about a break up or a crush and she told him she got hurt and felt low and everyone knew that it was going to happen and she was the last to know i dunno thats my opinion
Its real. I like it.
This is a really great song about friendship..some friendships just werent ment to be
i think its about someone betraying her
THis song is about friendship. A friend she thought was the best and loved her with all her heart. In the end htis person backstabbed her really hard and she wasnt expecting it. Shes telling this person off, saying that they have let her down and hurt her really bad, and its really hard not having her person around, but thats how things are supposed to be casue there worthless and dont care about her. This goes out for realtionship also it could have 2 points of view.
I think this is a song about a break up and the guy did something really bad to her. Everyone knew what the guy was doing and the girl was the last to find out. Now she knows, and she knows that everyone else knew and that they all feel sorry for her. It's a really sucky feeling. I really like the line, "Except I never thought it'd hurt this much to be saved." I can really relate to this song. I had an ex who got with another chick right after we broke up. I didn't know about her until later, but everyone else did. It was horrible. I knew that everyone felt bad for me. This information made me realize what kind of person my ex really was, but it hurt a lot. I thought we could be friends, but he messed it up and now it can never happen. To me, what he did was low, and it made me feel low....
