I think of you
Floatin' in there
And all the shit I thought I carry away from it will be
Floatin' inside the stomach of my baby
Little fetus waitin' to meet us
With your first swallow of air
All alone suckin' up all the worlds dispair

I phene for more
I phene for the core
A long way back down
Drown me in the sound
I found it beneath the junk
Just a punk who's sunk in too deep
I weep for me
For everyone who is and will never be

Yeah yeah yeah(...)

Never gave God much consider or thought
I fought that grip that he never caught
But the soul is something I couldn't help but feel
It's risen rain that wets
Especially the fur that pets
If you own the cat
And I believe in portion
And I kill you easy one abortion

Foundation I must die of life
Kiss me like a knife
Am I dead now God
Am I dead now wife

yeah yeah yeah(...)

And I think of you
Floatin' in there
Not a shread a thought a care
Where your from or will be
Swimin' inside the stomach of my baby
Little fetus waitin' to meet us

You were born in my head
Every time I hear my fear
Every tear of my sad eye will drip
Every drop that runs past my lips
For every thought
How good, that your death now benefits me

How could it benefit me
It benefits me (x3)

    I think of you floating in there With not a shred of thought or care of where you’re from or will be Swimming inside the stomach of my baby Oh little fetus waiting to meet us with your first swallow of air Hollow lung sucking up all the world’s despair I fiend for more, I fiend for the core Oh lore me back down and down in that sound I found it beneath the junk Just a punk who’s sunk in too deep I weep for me For everyone who is and will never be

    Hey yeah yeah

    I never gave god much consider or thought I fought that grip that he never caught But the soul is something I couldn’t help but feel It’s as real as the rain that wets Fresh as the fur on our pets You’re the only God and I believe in portion And I’ll kill easy in one abortion Foundation of my stife life, kiss me like a knife With my dead God now and my dead now wife

    And I think of you floating in there and not a shred of through or care of where you’re from or will be Swimming inside the stomach of my baby Little fetus went to meet us

    You’re reborn in my head Every time I hear my fear Every tear my sad eye will drip Every drop that runs past my lip For every thought of good that your death now benefits me How could it benefit me? Yeah, it benefits me

    My favorite Pagoda fan without doubt. I especially love the part after "I found it beneath the junk".

    I'm a bit puzzled by the lyrics, though. The "I think of you" verses seem to be about the fetus inside his baby's stomach, ie pregnant girlfriend;

    I'm guessing - girlfriend says she's pregnant, he thinks that all the shit he carries will also be in the baby, but the thought of a baby alone is sucking the dispair out of the world for him. Then, I think she got an abortion. Even though they could feel the soul inside the stomach, they killed the fetus. And somehow it benefits him.

    Yeah, I'm probably way off. For all I know, fetus might be some wild metaphor for something else.

    He's saying it doesn't benefit him. "How could it benefit me?.. it benefits me, it benefits me.." and at the end it actually says, "It benefits you."

    Its guilt.

    The lyrics posted by "trainsvsabus" are the right ones. I think it's about him feeling guilty about having an abortion (or his girlfriend having an abortion). Guilty not only because of killing the baby, but also for the death benefitting him. It's an amazing song.

    I think it's about how Michael Pitt being happy about the thought of being a father. But him and his girlfriend decided to abort. But in a way it benefits him. Because he's still young and he can still enjoy the time he has left of his youth. Or possible being able to continue his drug habits. (Dunno if he does drugs or not.

    Thats just what I think.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
