She's searching for someone to save her from this place
to rescue her from what she can't escape
there's not much hope left she's thrown it all away
been knocked down so much she can't get up
she cries out in pain

take me away further away
outside of this
i'm falling apart looking for what's
outside of this

her make up smeared around as tears run down her face
the mask she had is soon to be erased
she's broken and let down with nowhere left to turn
asking herself what's worth living for
she cries out again

take me away further away
outside of this
i'm falling apart looking for what's
outside of this

the candle is burning out the light flickers away
you reach out your hand to save her from this place

    First of all, this band is my alltime favorite. I love them sooo much. I saw them live, and I even got to feel the singer, Ryan Zimmerman up. He has a nice ass, lol Anyway.

    This song is about a gril who's mad some bad decisions in life. She has hit rock bottom, and doesn't know how to get out of it. Hence the name, "Outside of This"

    Shes been broken down, abused, and can't get her life back together. She finally crashed. She is searching for a person who will see behind her mask, someone who can pick her up, love her, and fix this mess she has made.

    She finally gives up completely, and her mask has been thrown out. Someone reaches out, feels her pain, and trys to help her.

    The rest is unknown, as the song ends.

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.
