This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Watching someone stop breathing
Feel their arms and palms releasing
The smell, the color of the skin
All of this with your fingerprints
Drive, drive, drive
I don't want to get caught
We will say we're innocent
There is enough to prove we are not
They will believe anything
I am packing all my clothes and never going to go home again
There isn't one thing we've forgot
You will see
We will get away with this
My jeans, your shoes we will throw away everything we've used
But there is still your worried mouth to match your worried eyes
The only two things left to find
Drive, drive, drive
I don't want to get caught
We will say we're innocent
There is enough to prove we are not
They will believe anything
I am packing all my clothes and never going to go home again
There isn't one thing we've forgot
You will see
We will get away with this
There's no compromise so remember this
Your hands are lies
It is too late for if's
(Murder with your teenage eyes, resist confession
Oh, the weight is so much, my heart is hollow
With this foolish thing I've done)
We will go home and close the doors and pull the sheets up to our heads and sleep
And there isn't a thing that they can do
Drive, drive, drive
I don't want to get caught
We will say we're innocent
There is enough to prove we are not
They will belive anything
I am packing all my clothes and never going to go home again
There isn't one thing we've forgot
You will see
We will get away with this
Feel their arms and palms releasing
The smell, the color of the skin
All of this with your fingerprints
Drive, drive, drive
I don't want to get caught
We will say we're innocent
There is enough to prove we are not
They will believe anything
I am packing all my clothes and never going to go home again
There isn't one thing we've forgot
You will see
We will get away with this
My jeans, your shoes we will throw away everything we've used
But there is still your worried mouth to match your worried eyes
The only two things left to find
Drive, drive, drive
I don't want to get caught
We will say we're innocent
There is enough to prove we are not
They will believe anything
I am packing all my clothes and never going to go home again
There isn't one thing we've forgot
You will see
We will get away with this
There's no compromise so remember this
Your hands are lies
It is too late for if's
(Murder with your teenage eyes, resist confession
Oh, the weight is so much, my heart is hollow
With this foolish thing I've done)
We will go home and close the doors and pull the sheets up to our heads and sleep
And there isn't a thing that they can do
Drive, drive, drive
I don't want to get caught
We will say we're innocent
There is enough to prove we are not
They will belive anything
I am packing all my clothes and never going to go home again
There isn't one thing we've forgot
You will see
We will get away with this

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
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
K this is just a shot in the dark and I havent fully developed this idea yet but here it is--------- This song repressents the temptations of sin and the feeling of being able to rationalize sin....The lines---"I don't want to get caught. We'll say, we'll say we're innocent. And there is enough to prove we're not. They will believe anything."---and---"You'll see, we'll get away with this." represents the feeling that you will be able pretend that what you are about to do (some kind of sin...or sexual sin, im not quite sure) will be ok , it wont effect your life (causing guilt) and that you will be abe to disguise it and keep it hidden. ----In one line it says --"I'm packing all my clothes and never going to go home again."--- this line is showing the feeling that you can just escape into some kind of sin and live in without having to turn back, then in another line it says---"So remember this. Your hands are lies. It's too late for riffs. We'll go home and close the door"--- this last line talks about going home even thought the song was saying that they would never go home. Your hands are lies is saying that your living lies and you know it but instead you hide under your covers. After the singer realizes that he has sinned and that he cant do anything about it---"then pull the sheets up to our heads and sleep. And there isn't a thing that they can do."--- hey repeats the chorus (repeating the sin)------------ This song is showing that we as humans are stuck in a continous rut of sin that we ourselves cannot get out of and that we need help from someone else or we will continue to live our lives like this.
this song is a metaphor for stabbing a friend in the back... they said it at their concert
i think this is about a murder...i love emery!! and i love there new album...can never get enough of them. why is noone posting anything
i think this is about a murder...i love emery!! and i love there new album...can never get enough of them. why is noone posting anything
I am pretty sure this is about murder as well. I will also have to agree that the new album is amazing, and I have been listening to it on repeat ever since I got it. :)
ohh forgot to talk about the title---"Left With Alibis And Lying Eyes"--- after you sin you have excuses and everything to rationalize your sin but underneath your still lying.
kcf3106 I think you are right. Very clever of you. Rationalizing sin never works. The guilt is always there no matter how far we try to run from it and tell ourselves we're ok. I love this song. I love the whole album. EMERY IS AWESOME!!!
BEST EMERY SONG! Apart From Ponytail Parade...Of Course! Emery Make Me Wet :)
this is about sexual sin and getting away similar to an underoath song, i don't remember the name its a pretty good song
It's about running away from your sin.
