In time I'll find why everyone out there
In the painted sun
Has already found their root, they've found home
And I'm tired of beating every drum
For old friends that never come
Went looking for them once, and found none

I'm so unwound
And I know in my own way
I'm breaking down without screaming out loud
I'm facing up and reaching out
In the end I'll come around so shut your mouth
'Cause I can't stand or yell out
Tell everyone I'm numb

Here lies the former undisturbed
A bit high and a candle burns
It's goin' all south, it's all gone
A red face that hides in nervous hands
Once a better friend than an enemy
Will I make another run, or am I done

Sometime I'll line up everyone out there
In a late day sun
For one deep and final breath

    words can't describe how awsome this song is. It's like you listen to it and it takes you right into it. The lyrics are brilliant as well, I love them. I relate to them quite well, feeling all alone in the world and seeing everyone else happy, drifting apart from people who you once called "friend", you feel more and more down as the days go on, it's a very emotional song.

    This song is about depression. The feeling you have when you don't want to be unhappy anymore, but feel there is nothing you can do about it. As a result of depression, you feel completely isolated from everyone, even those you love and who love you. This song is a cry for help.

    By far the best IMO song to be released, including the Edwin days.

    SiC PhREAk, you really need some text in your message. The guy who trolls a song board to just say "Your on crack" sounds alot more like HES on crack.

    Not to mention SiC PhREAk can't spell worth shit. If YOU'RE going to make a post, that's only three words by the way, try to make it so you don't look like a fucking idiot. "Your on crack"? No. "You're on crack"

    If youve ever seen the video its what essentially the song is about, suicide and the popular society's way of shunning certain people into doing horrific things like murdering someone and leaving their remains in a trash bag.... a common occurance in Toronto these days. Beautiful song.

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."

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.

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.
