Make enemies of truth and reason
In that a rage is born
Start out a promise and a venture
Where direction was never the goal

How does it feel
To run out of nothing?
Where do you go
When you run out?

Never you mind
The grand perspective
Other forces
Kept at bay

As you narrow the field of vision
To retain a sense of control
Your focus will remain unfixed
In the haze of a world unhinged

Create a sense of purpose around which you base your faith
The doubt that haunts your skin an itch that will linger on
Forever

How does it feel
To run out of nothing
Where do you go
When you run out?

You wave off
Critique as an offender
Never question
Where your motives lie
As a part of the greatest fable
The beast all had forgotten
Instincts in a dead end rampage
Destruction as a saving grace

You run out of nothing

How does it feel
To run out of nothing
Where do you go
When you run out?

How does it feel
To run out of nothing
Where do you go
Where do you go?

    Why no comments on this song yet, the lyrics to this song are awsome? Anyways I believe this song is about how religous people are always changing there stories or denying sience when ever something contradicts their ideas and how deep down they are filling doubts about their religon.

    "other forces kept at bay as you narrow the field of vision to retain a sense of control" This line is explaing how they will disbelieve sience or something else if it contradicts their believes so they still have the ability to belive their religon like people that don't belife in evolution and other scientific theories because they collide with their religous ideas. "Create a sense of purpose around which you base your faith" This line is pretty much just saying how religous people chose to believe in something so they can continue to belive in there religon to make them feel like there is meaning to there life. "The doubt that haunts your skin an itch that will linger on forever" This line explains how deep down they are having doubts about there belive but will never show them or aknoldge them so they can continue to feel important and like there is more to life. "Wave off critique as an offender" This line seems to be about how when anyone questions their belives they will get all defensive and say that they are trying to offend them and attack there religon. "How does it feel? to run out of nothing Where do you go? When you run out" The chorus I am not sure on but maybe its something like "Where do you go?" when everything is proven wrong and their is no longer any evidence to back the truth of their religon, when it's falsehood has been fully exposed.

    Anyways that was my first post on this website and it seems like I get the meaning of this song but I'm not sure what do you guys think? (Wow that was alot of typing I feel like I just did a school report or something)

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
