Not Afraid

Our Lady Peace

Its sudden in the way you know

Feeling like I just said so

Can anybody else believe?
And as I finally know these things unknown

I’m Feeling like I just said so

Can anybody else believe?



Not afraid. Not at all. I’ve just been hanging on way too long,

Let me out, let me in. let me stumble when I fall

Notice me, I noticed you

It’s the simple things that won’t come true

Let me out, let me in.

…Me in



And as I hear that you’re not sitting by a phone

I see you on the radio

But anybody else believed

And as you’re falling out your bedroom door
I’m pleading but I cant find more

Can anybody else believe?



Not afraid. Not at all. I’ve just been hanging on way too long,

Let me out, let me in. let me stumble when I fall

Notice me, I noticed you

It’s the simple things that won’t come true

Let me out, let me in.

…me in



Let me in, let me out.
Let me know you’re feeling now

You wanted more
You wanted her

You wanted more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more…



I know something has to bring

Are you, are you feeling weak?

I see nothing but the best, I know

You’re feeling like you missed…

again again.


Its like the sky is falling down, its like the light in the ground

It’s like the rain
At your feet

Like you’re holding it back

Just like me again again again


Not afraid. Not at all. I’ve just been hanging on way too long,

Let me out, let me in. let me stumble when I fall

Notice me, I noticed you

It’s the simple things I can’t believe I need

Simple things I need. Simple things I need. Simple things I need

Simple things I need. Simple things I need. Simple things I need

Simple things I need. Simple things I need

I need. I need. I need.

Simple things I need

I need. I need. oh

Simple things I need

I need.

I…

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
