Ha ha ha, we float our way through this lonely world
Again you say "It's funny how the years go by when yoiu never stop singing."

Well it gets so easy riding on your shadow
My ideas get lost amid your own.
Count the days and spaces filled
with cars and cases, robots, sand and seafoam.

We sing the song we wrote when we were kids for so long.
Paper clips, and long road trips
Make for silly stories.

Well it got so easy riding on your shadow
My ideas get lost amid your own.
Count the days and spaces filled
with cars and cases, robots, sand and seafoam.

Becoming you.

    It's funny how the years go by when you never stop singing that is true time passes more quickly when you do stuff you love.

    this isn't my favorite eisley song, but the lyrics make me sad because i think it's about being tired of constantly touring, and singing the same old songs everyday and it's like life is passing by too quickly with nothing different going on. i know that being in a band isn't really what stacy and sherri want to do with their lifes. sherri has said before that she didn't think being in a band was the best living for her, and stacy said she would rather be living in the wild and helping the earth reproduce itself in her first journal entry that she deleted (i think because she realized she put down too much personal information). now she only posts random pictures, and one of her bizzar writings.

    it's about love; in this case, a married couple, or long enough to start "becoming" the same person, in a sense. not that they lose all sense of identity, it's a good kind of "becoming" you've seen them: they know how each other thinks, they finish each others sentences--

    it's about how they sort of mesh into one cute, big puddle, and lose all real concern about the rest of the world

    eisleyan, that is tremendously depressing and may be true. But they wrote this song an extremely long time ago, before they were signed. They might not even have been touring them.

    Quick question.. This is the first song I heard by Eisley ( basically what got me hooked on them!) I've gone to many websites looking for the actual lyrics, but they always pop up as the ones above.. The song isn't sang the way the lyrics are written.. Does anyone have the true lyrics, so that they may be posted? Or am I confused for really no reason at all?.. =/

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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."

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.
