This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
As I walk away
I look over my shoulder
To see what I'm leaving behind
Pieces of puzzles
And
Wishes on eyelashes fail
Oh!
How do I show all the love
Inside my heart
Well this is all new
And I'm feeling my way through the dark
And I used to talk
With honest conviction
Of how I predicted my world
I'm gonna leave it to star gazers
Tell me what your telescope says
Oh what is in store for me now?
It's coming apart
I know that it's true
Cause I'm feeling my way through the dark
Try to find a light on somewhere
Try to find a light on somewhere
I'm finding I'm falling in love with the dark over here
Oh oh what do I know I don't care
Where I start
For my troubles are few
As I'm feeling my way through the dark
Through the dark
I'm feeling my way through the dark
I look over my shoulder
To see what I'm leaving behind
Pieces of puzzles
And
Wishes on eyelashes fail
Oh!
How do I show all the love
Inside my heart
Well this is all new
And I'm feeling my way through the dark
And I used to talk
With honest conviction
Of how I predicted my world
I'm gonna leave it to star gazers
Tell me what your telescope says
Oh what is in store for me now?
It's coming apart
I know that it's true
Cause I'm feeling my way through the dark
Try to find a light on somewhere
Try to find a light on somewhere
I'm finding I'm falling in love with the dark over here
Oh oh what do I know I don't care
Where I start
For my troubles are few
As I'm feeling my way through the dark
Through the dark
I'm feeling my way through the dark

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."

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,

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.

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.
I can imagine Ketty Lester singing this. Fantastic song!
Its about leaving a part of your life behind you and saying you cant predict the future.
(the lyrics have a few errors in them)
This song...how can I even begin to describe what it means to me. Its one of those songs that we all have...one of those songs that the first time you hear it, it just speaks to you, as if you've just been waiting your whole life to hear it.
What does it mean to me? It means feeling sorrow. Sorrow that occurs because as much as you loved someone, or something, you're leaving it behind. And now, without it or them - your blind, just feeling your way through the dark until you can see on your own again. You thought you had it down pat. but now you realize you don't know anything, so your going to leave it to stargazers since you figure they can figure it out better than you, for all you know.
And you can't find light anywhere, without that thing or person, everything is darkness. You left because its what was best to do, but you didn't leave without your wounds. And just before you leave them behind forever, you can't help but take one last look over your shoulder, to see what your leaving behind.
Thats what that song means.
sarasmusic, that was so beautifully put. that is exactly what the song means to me, too, except i never would have been able to put it so eloquently.
as i walk away i look over my shoulder to see what i'm leaving behind
i lvoe those first three lines. can somebody pelase explain what this song emans i dont really get it
'Of how I predicted my world, I'm gonna leave it to star gazers, tell me what your telescope says' --> corrected lyrics.
Those are my favourite lyrics in the song!
The song is definitly about leaving a part of your life and looking forward, without trying to predict what will happen for you. She doesn't know what's gonna happen (feeling my way through the dark) . At first she wants to know what the future holds (trying to find a light on somewhere) but then she realises it's just better to take things as they come and see what will happen (I'm finding I've fallen in love with the dark).
I love this song, esspecially since I just graduated from High School and I am moving onto college now. It seems that Im leaving a large part of my life behind. I also like how this kind of ties into the Album title, Eye To The Telescope. Its a great song...
She reminds me of Norah Jones, especially on this song. Love it.
Ok honestly, the person who posted these lyrics has to be straight retarded. "of how i predicted my word i'm gonna leave it to star gases tell me what you tell scope says oh what is in sotoled for me now? it's comming apart"
Kay...whatever. This song has gotta be about anyone who's entering a new phase in their life, whether it's coming of age or another emotional/mental transition. You're trying to find a sense of balance, truth, or stability--the "light"--but the dark is part of the process and the growth. Time and possibly painful experirence -- or feeling your way through the dark, is what it takes to really make that transition and grow as a result.
ok..i think instead of: of how i predicted my word i'm gonna leave it to star gases tell me what you tell scope says
how i predicted my world i'm gonna leave it to star gazers tell me what your telescope says. ... what is in store for me now ...falling in love with the dark over here ...for my troubles are few
and this song for me, is about a place called lily dale. it's a spiritualist community and so ooooooo psychics! but anyways...i love that place, and this song just describes what it is so well i just tell people to listen to it. in fact, i believe i am scheduled to sing this there...
This has nothing to do with the song, but take a look at this video: youtube.com/watch It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside first time you watch it, puts smile on your face I just thought I should share that :)
