looking back has a different feeling
this time it's a lot more meaning
i'll pick a photo in my head
and disreagard what you've said
i'm not about to make a parting note
im not asking for your vote
all i ask is just a minute of your time
to buy a ticket for a one way ride

but all i can do is save myself from you
but all i can say is take one step away

dry eyes can't explain whats going on
i've disguided
all the memories holding on
always feel this
can't heal this
break these restraints

    by far my favourite song by atf! whenever i have the shits wif my girlfriend this is usually the first song on my mind. it sounds like he has a girl but shes gone weird?..

    "looking back has a different feeling" when he looks back, it doesnt seem the same.

    "this time theres alot more meaning" this has happened more than once, but this time hes serious

    "i'll pick a photo in my head, and disregard what you said" he ignores her attitude and pictures something better... maybe a good memory of her.

    "im not about to make a parting note" hes not saying he wants to break up, hes just trying to make things better.

    "im not asking for your vote" he doesnt expect her to fully agree with him and suck up his arse?

    "all i ask is just a minute of your time to buy a ticket for a 1 way ride" all he wants is for her to be rational and listen to him so they can be together forever.

    The chorus sounds like hes trying to convince himself to let go but he cant!

    "dry eyes cant explain whats going on" this is a big deal worth their tears.

    "ive disguised all the memories holding on" holding onto her through the recent shitty times has made them forget the good times they had, now its all the recent shit stuff.

    "always feel this, cant heal this" she meant alot to him, and he will always be scarred with what happened.

    "break these restraints" hes sick of her holding him down for nothing... theyv'e broken up?

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
