This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Lost in these times
Its hard to make up our minds
This is the reason
We're convicted for our crimes
So we wait
Scars on our face
They show the importance
Of finding a way to leave this place
But then we're left with
Nothing substantial to hold
And I'm afraid that
Our stories will never be told
Some people carry on
Some just stay right where they are
Our worlds divide the sight
I'd rather move along
Knowledge is not very far
Our worlds divide the sight
When innocence dies
It tends to shake up your life
Let it consume you
And then leave it all behind
I need escape
From the choices we made
And the feelings of longing
That are standing in our way
Don't give up on hope...
Don't give up on hope...
Don't give because its hope that binds us
Pain that guides us
Who do we trust when those things remind us
Its hope that guides us
Pain that binds us
Who do we trust when they're not behind us?
Its hard to make up our minds
This is the reason
We're convicted for our crimes
So we wait
Scars on our face
They show the importance
Of finding a way to leave this place
But then we're left with
Nothing substantial to hold
And I'm afraid that
Our stories will never be told
Some people carry on
Some just stay right where they are
Our worlds divide the sight
I'd rather move along
Knowledge is not very far
Our worlds divide the sight
When innocence dies
It tends to shake up your life
Let it consume you
And then leave it all behind
I need escape
From the choices we made
And the feelings of longing
That are standing in our way
Don't give up on hope...
Don't give up on hope...
Don't give because its hope that binds us
Pain that guides us
Who do we trust when those things remind us
Its hope that guides us
Pain that binds us
Who do we trust when they're not behind us?

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This is one of Flaw's best tracks, I am not sure on what it all means, maybe it is in reference to his past and he can either move on or remain in his current state and dwell upon his past.
i think this is flaw's masterpiece. i love it. i think it's about just moving on from stuff thats happened to you. showing you you'll be happier by just forgeting it.
Definately a masterpeice. My current favorite on the new CD, I keep getting addicted to new songs on their albums. Again, when each stanza is read it is a straight forward meaning, however, it is hard to interpret the song as a whole as in like a generalized meaning.
I agree with systemnate on his/hers interpertation. I love the break down when the singer stare to sat "don't give up on hope"
Don't give up on hope.... a good message. Amazing song I think. Another one to add to the "Beautiful Rock" list. Hmm...
I think the lines where he says its hope that binds us and pain the guides us, then flips it the other way around is an important line. Stating that hope and pain are the guiding factors in our lives, but that they are interchangeable and can each play eachothers role. Or else that some strive toward hope while others strive toward pain.
