Another tragedy in the news,
Someone shooting down the right to choose.
It doesn't seem at all that they chose the right way.

Another law I heard got passed today,
Someone's trying to take my rights away.
It doesn't seem to me they chose the right way.

It's out of my hands,
But stuck in my mind,
In time I find my spine is crooked in design
I want to be so much more (I want to be so much)

Rescue me
Take this hand, by myself, alone I stand

Rescue me
From this world, from myself, before I grow old
Someone rescue me.

Does anybody ever feel this way?
Does anybody have the guts to say?
It doesn't seem at all they chose the right way
(Yo man you're going the wrong way)

Who am I to say I disagree?
Who am I not to change a thing?
Because I don't believe they chose the right way
(Hey man you're going the wrong way)

It's out of my hands,
But stuck in my mind,
In time I find my spine is crooked in design
I want to be so much more (I want to be so much)

Rescue me
Take this hand, by myself, alone I stand...

Rescue me
From this world, from myself, before I grow old
Here it comes again

Excuse too weak to stand on
I'm falling off
Too weak to stand on
I'm falling off
Too weak to hang on
Falling for you to catch me

Excuse too weak to stand on
I'm falling off
Too weak to stand on
I'm falling off
Too weak to hang on
Falling for you to catch me, catch me

I'm afraid
That no one is changing
who's to blame?
Someone save me!

Rescue me
Take this hand, by myself, alone I stand

Rescue me
From this world, from myself, before I grow old
Someone rescue me

Save me now, you gotta save me now
(Save me!)

Save me now, somebody rescue me
(Save me!)

Save me now, you gotta save me now
(Save me!)

    This song practically MADE the game S.L.A.I. (Steel Lancer Arena International) worth playing. I've stomped SO many asses listening to this song.

    Very good underground band, though. Love their sound.

    This song is mainly about being pissed off at so much shit going on in the world, and nothing being done about it. Finally wondering if maybe telling people 'Hey, the world is still beautiful, let's go out and make it that way' is a lost cause on this Generation X bullshit.

    In my opinion, it isn't. The world's still a beautiful place. Open your eyes and see it.

    i've listened to this song a lot and never really understood it too well but when i thought about the line "It's out of my hands but stuck in my mind in time, I find my spine is crooked in design, I want to be so much more (I wanna be so much)" i think it might be about how when you want to say something or stand up for what you believe but your too afraid. and you think about it but you convince yourself that you cant make a difference or stand up to someone. when people say you are spineless they ussually mean you are a coward so when it says "i find my spine is crooked in design" its kind of saying that he is afraid of standing up for himself. then its saying that he wants to be more then the person who goes through life with a bunch of opinions but not sharing them with anyone...this relates to my life a lot.. then it goes on in the 2nd verse to ask "does anyone have the guts to say?" and "Who am I to say I disagree?" "Who am I not to change a thing?". hes asking himself why would anyone listen to me and thinks that his opinions dont matter but everyones opinon matters

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
