Holy eyes bring back one
Never if you only trust your separation
I believe and then
I'll try to give in
Is one fall already bad?
Seems far, but it's true

Whoever told you that
We will find a way to be this way
It's true, whoever told you that
Its fine to walk right outta control
It's true, whoever told you that
Thats fine I hope the best for you
It's true, whoever told you that
We try the best to be the best but look what you've done

We are respiratory
We take violence in stride
We are respiratory
We are never to fall

We are the only story, intriguing myth
We told it twice before and I
I believe and then
I'll try to give in
We owe the attention for
Seems far, but it's true

Whoever told you that
We will find a way to be this way
It's true, whoever told you that
Its fine to walk right outta control
It's true, whoever told you that
Thats fine I hope the best for you
It's true, whoever told you that
We try the best to be the best but look what you've done

We are respiratory
We take violence in stride
We are respiratory
We are never to fall

    Classic saosin, (even though i think its a new singer lol) gotta love the way he screams "thats fine i wish the best for you" im guessing its about a love that screwed him over like most songs lol and good job on the lyrics seem to be right on...

    whoah whoah whoah....that's not all right.

    First off, Anthony got over his drug problem during his first year with Saosin. Second, Beau is good friends with Anthony, not really that much with Cove. And cove is just some fan who was dying to sing for them so finally they let him because he wanted to so bad. It turns out he's pretty good.

    This is a great song, and I've been looking for the lyrics for a while. As far as I've heard, this was the last song Anthony recorded with Saosin before he left to start Circa Survive and The Sound Of Animals Fighting and such. But, I think Cove does a good job for Saosin now. And as for Anthony, he makes any band good, and I like everyone he's been in so far that I've heard of.

    This song isn't technically Saosin, it's actually only Anthony and Chris...I feel dumb for never looking that up, but it's on the Saosin site under additional discography or something like that. Still, awesome song...

    Ha, I have button clicking spasms. Same comment posted twice, wow.

    There's actually a new version of this song that Cove and the guys have been playing live. It sounds very similiar to the old version that ANT and Chris did, with some minor changes, both lyrically and musically.

    My Interpretation

    I think the whole thing is about Anthony's drug addiction. "Holy eyes bring back one Never if you only trust your separation I believe and then I'll try to give in Is one fall already bad? Seems far, but it's true" From this, I think he meant that God gave him a second chance (to fight the addiction). Then it talks about how he believed that he could do it but he had one time where he gave in. Then in the verse after, I think he emant they talked about his addiction in two other songs.

    "Whoever told you that We will find a way to be this way It's true, whoever told you that Its fine to walk right outta control It's true, whoever told you that Thats fine I hope the best for you It's true, whoever told you that We try the best to be the best but look what you've done" This is the part that confuses me. The "we". Maybe whoever wrote it is in the band and feels that the band tried so hard to get far and be famous and he brought them all down. Then they are wishing him good luck.. Idk. I could be completely wrong. It's just my interpretation. i used to think it was about lvoe, but I don't think so anymore.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
