This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Inside display of broken wings
So smooth porcelain face cracks, and flakes away
Turns to pulse, flying down telephone lines
To the pictures on your wall, burning on contact
And the branches were stripped under winter's numb again
With a breath there was a fire burning through the room
(flames) Struggle (fires) burn!
Something is broken; it's unmended
(lies) Struggle (fires) grow long!
Sometimes it just helps to get outside
And we won't come back under
Backdrop of mountains above
Pastels and flames that crawl up
Time won't stop for the horrors
And the branches were stripped under winter's numb again
With a breath there was a fire burning through the room
It hits the backseat tearing fabric from the line
'til the clouds come to swallow the night
Leaving less piled on the floor
This one undo; we all, we fall
This won't hurt you, won't we fall?
This one undo... crash!
This won't hurt you, won't we fall?
This one, fall! How we fall!
This one undo; we all, we fall
This won't hurt you, won't we fall?
This won't hurt you, won't wait for!
So smooth porcelain face cracks, and flakes away
Turns to pulse, flying down telephone lines
To the pictures on your wall, burning on contact
And the branches were stripped under winter's numb again
With a breath there was a fire burning through the room
(flames) Struggle (fires) burn!
Something is broken; it's unmended
(lies) Struggle (fires) grow long!
Sometimes it just helps to get outside
And we won't come back under
Backdrop of mountains above
Pastels and flames that crawl up
Time won't stop for the horrors
And the branches were stripped under winter's numb again
With a breath there was a fire burning through the room
It hits the backseat tearing fabric from the line
'til the clouds come to swallow the night
Leaving less piled on the floor
This one undo; we all, we fall
This won't hurt you, won't we fall?
This one undo... crash!
This won't hurt you, won't we fall?
This one, fall! How we fall!
This one undo; we all, we fall
This won't hurt you, won't we fall?
This won't hurt you, won't wait for!

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."

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
AHH!!! THIS IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER. Seriously, this song is like the best song off the album. Well, I guess it's tied with "distress in the control tower." Its one swell song
the guitar tapping part is probably my favorite part off of the whole cd. incredible stuff.
hmm....try listening to this song....then "cross out the eyes"......they dont sound exactly the same at all. i suppose its still a good song though...
i do not get what rudycholo said.
if you're gonna love the band to death, at least get the lyrics right...
Inside display of broken wings So smooth porcelain face cracks and flakes away Turns pulse flying down telephone lines to the pictures On your wall burning on contact And the branches were stripped under winters numb What was precious gets lost With the breath that was the fire burning through the room What was precious get’s lost Lies! Fires! Circle and engulf this room in this moon Lies! Fires! Circle and engulf this room in this moon And we won't come back under back drop of mountains above Pastels in flames, flames that crawl up Time won’t stop for the hurt And the branches were stripped under winters numb What was precious gets lost With the breath that was the fire burning through the room What was precious get’s lost It hits the back seat tearing fabric from the lines Till the clouds come to swallow the night Leaving less piled on the floor This one hands you the all we fall. This one hands you the all we fall. This one hands you the all we fall. This one hands you the all we fall. This won’t hurt you, won’t wait for. This won’t hurt you, loose your voice. This one takes life, loose your face. This one hurts, won’t wait for. This one hands you the all we fall. This one hands you the all we fall. This one hands you the all we fall. This one hands you the all we fall. This won’t hurt you, won’t wait for. This won’t hurt you, loose your voice. This won’t hurt you, won’t wait for. This one hands you the all we fall
