This nightmare ends.
as the cocoon fills with oil.
fossils bocome waste upon cemented wings.
on the rocks father spills memories of mothers eyes.
a kiss turns to brandy.
a dagger learns to cut hair.
lipstick stains her addiction...
watch the cresent moon turn clouds into frowns.
watch to sea swallow and forget...
given up ambiton for and legs...
venom engulfs the most precious fairy tales.
goldilocks forgets the bite for prince charming...
each window breaths smoke, pavement paces while ciggarettes burn.
a tribal affair rises the masses of broken hearts left at her door

    this song has an awesome guitar during the chorus. it's a great album opener, short and angry.

    i think its all about something nice or beautiful liek a family or a dad, that can seem so great, but make things so bad, like a dad coming home with lipstick on his collar, and/or drunk hitting the mother...most of their songs are about broken hearts. but hell man, thats emo!

    yeah id say its about a family being torn apart by addictions in general, whether sex, alcohol, drugs, or a number of other things, the song kinda talks about each of them

    "a kiss turns to brandy. " "venom engulfs the most precious fairy tales. " (i think venom could be drugs, im not really sure on that though) "goldilocks forgets the bite for prince charming... " (i would say that could be a sex addiction) actually now that i think about it it could be about somebody trying to fill up their lives with the wrong things, moving from alcohol to drugs to sex, and the nightmare is neverending

    ^ your close on most of that.

    the part.. "goldilocks forgets the bite for prince charming... " would most definately be anorexia. not sex.

    "Broken hearts left at her door", sounds kinda like that's more to do with heartbreak and a careless girl, the rest of it is pretty strange, but "A kiss turns to brandy" COULD mean that he'll get no more kisses so he'll drink instead though, also "On the rocks father spills memories of mothers eyes" sounds like the mom possibly died? And the father maybe mourning, that would make more sense of the kiss turns to brandy bit...

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
