This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Everybody says I'm a lonesome kind of guy
I've been defeated by them all
If they can find me
I'm done
Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all
All the good things that I've done
I'm up against the wall
How come
My file has been deleted
If this is what they want
I can tell you that the order's alphabetical
Don't you get it, sooner or later
I'll be recruited by someone
Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all
Everybody says I shouldn't mess with you no more
If you see me on my own
Drive on
If I were dismissed I would've gotten much more
If I wasn't that kind I wouldn't care at all
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
I'll change my whole perspective
If this is what they want
I can tell you that the order's alphabetical
Don't you get it, sooner or later
I'll be recruited by someone
Isn't it better?
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
I'll change my whole perspective
I'll be recruited by someone
I've been defeated by them all
If they can find me
I'm done
Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all
All the good things that I've done
I'm up against the wall
How come
My file has been deleted
If this is what they want
I can tell you that the order's alphabetical
Don't you get it, sooner or later
I'll be recruited by someone
Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all
Everybody says I shouldn't mess with you no more
If you see me on my own
Drive on
If I were dismissed I would've gotten much more
If I wasn't that kind I wouldn't care at all
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
I'll change my whole perspective
If this is what they want
I can tell you that the order's alphabetical
Don't you get it, sooner or later
I'll be recruited by someone
Isn't it better?
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
I'll change my whole perspective
I'll be recruited by someone

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

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.

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.
I have to agree that it seems like something important has been lost in translation, but actually I quite like that, and I often find myself wondering what on earth it's all about.
The only vaguely coherent theory I have is that it's some kind of matrix-style science fiction story, where the narrator has been cast out as a renegade: his file has been deleted. However he expects to be recruited to a band of rebels? Maybe ... or maybe not.
Then again, maybe it's not supposed to be a story at all, but perhaps an expression of the more typical emotions of rejection, alienation, confusion, and embattled hope. The 'alphabetical' concept could perhaps be expressing the arbitrariness of life: success or failure in work and in love does not always seem deserved, but you have to keep hoping the next opportunity comes around soon.
