This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You slit your own throat
You won't be around for long
Though not a dying breed
Cause they'll always be a market for greed
And they'll always be someone to replace you
Though they may not have the courage to face you
Now it's too late to settle scores
You're going back the way you came before
Back through the revolving door
You're sick of your skin
Though you act like you're not for now
But the rot has set in and it could be as little as an hour or two
Before it completely devours you
And the ones who should stand up are afraid to
You were smug while you held the floor
You're going back the way you came before
Back through the revolving door
I understand the concessions that you make
I know what it's like to get backed into a corner
I sympathize but I don't take your side
Hey you
You act like no one could tame you
But when it counted you never came through
Well, with one look at what they paid you
Well, most folks would hardly blame you
I'm not surprised that this is what it came to
You're going back the way you came before
Back through the revolving door
And one day you could be back for more
Oh, more, oh, more, oh, no
You won't be around for long
Though not a dying breed
Cause they'll always be a market for greed
And they'll always be someone to replace you
Though they may not have the courage to face you
Now it's too late to settle scores
You're going back the way you came before
Back through the revolving door
You're sick of your skin
Though you act like you're not for now
But the rot has set in and it could be as little as an hour or two
Before it completely devours you
And the ones who should stand up are afraid to
You were smug while you held the floor
You're going back the way you came before
Back through the revolving door
I understand the concessions that you make
I know what it's like to get backed into a corner
I sympathize but I don't take your side
Hey you
You act like no one could tame you
But when it counted you never came through
Well, with one look at what they paid you
Well, most folks would hardly blame you
I'm not surprised that this is what it came to
You're going back the way you came before
Back through the revolving door
And one day you could be back for more
Oh, more, oh, more, oh, no

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."

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
It's about someone who made an incredibly bad mistake in their career, in effect "slit their own throat". They have no more future, because they are easily replaceable and no one backs him/her, and she is going out "the revolving door". Maybe he/she will try to revive their career in the future, but the main point is, they are not irreplaceable, and if you stuff up, you're gone.
