Beautiful Ways

Pat Mcgee Band

Iâ??m not a savior so do me a favor stop and see me sometime
Donâ??t need you to save me Iâ??m ready to break free
Just need somebody to say
You know youâ??re never too far away
You know youâ??re never too far away

Help me because Iâ??m off the radar screen
Help me because you know just where Iâ??ve been
Help me because Iâ??ve lost my faith
Help me mend my broken ways
But I just canâ??t help myself
Have you lost your beautiful ways
You lost your beautiful ways

You started out lovely but some how you changed me
thought itâ??d be easy to see
I came to you lonely
Somehow I wonâ??t be
Walking this line along with you
You know that youâ??re never too far away
Oh youâ??re never too far away

Help me cause Iâ??m off the radar screen
Help me cause you know just where Iâ??ve been
Help me cause I lost my faith
Help me mend my broken ways
But I just canâ??t help myself
Have you lost your beautiful ways?
You lost your beautiful ways

Itâ??s occurred to me that you wonâ??t be hanging around
I guess I donâ??t mind cause you always put me down
But I never thought Iâ??d see you on the ground
And youâ??re supposed to save me?

(Help me 'cause Iâ??m off the radar screen
Help me 'cause you know just where Iâ??ve been)

Help me 'cause Iâ??m off the radar screen
Help me 'cause you know just where Iâ??ve been
Help me 'cause I lost my faith
I canâ??t afford to live this way
And I just canâ??t help myself
Have you lost your beautiful ways?
You lost your beautiful ways
You lost your beautiful ways
You lost your beautiful ways

    It confuses me like when he says he doesn't need the person to save him but then he says "and you're supposed to save me?" like he actually wanted them too.. Anyway basically i think this is about being with someone, or even having a friend that you want to be there for you even if they're not good for you "i guess i dont mind cause you always put me down". He sees that person isn't all that great like he thought, they lost their beautiful way. "But I never thought I'd see you on the ground And you're suppose to save me?" sounds kind of selfish. Like they're not supposed to be down because they're supposed to be helping him. shrugs this is really just rambling. I'll be surprised if anyone understands what i'm trying to say, lol

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
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.
