You're the son of his majesty
Remember how it used to be
In the light of day it's easy to see
Now it's nighttime, yeah
You had to leave

Separated from the king
Now the water's gushing and you keep trying to swim against the stream
It seems like you're not moving, the many waters gushing you gasp for air
Almost drowning ears ringing, once upon a time we were singing
One day those trees will stand and clap hands
Stream of thought getting caught in the klipa, this place is just a shell, external

Warrior, fighting for your soul
Taken from the world above, and brought down this world below
Warrior, fighting for your soul
Taken from the world above, and brought down to this world below

Re-unite them, re-unite them, return the princess to her king
Said re-unite them, re-united, she's been taken for so long
Re-unite them, re-unite and then she'll be filled with joy
Said, ah, re-unite them, re-united like the days of her youth

Descended to this pit
What's that feeling, I can't get rid of it
I'm so sick, I can't seem to shake it
When one retires at night weeping, joy will come in the morning
You made my mountain stand strong

Warrior, fighting for your soul
Taken from the world above, and brought down this world below
Warrior, fighting for your soul
Taken from the world above, and brought down to this world below

Ancient memory, remember how it used to be
Close your eyes and breathe in
The scent of freedom
Ringing across the sea
Land of milk and honey
One day, we'll wake up from this dream and we'll stop sleeping
Oh, yo, yo, yo, yo and then we'll see clearly, no, no, no

Fighting for your soul
Taken from the world above, and brought down this world below

    i think the easiest way to understand this song is to look at it not from a religious stand point but solely a spiritual one, to me its about the struggles we as humans have every day here on earth and about one day "Now the water's rushing and you keep trying to swim against the stream And it seems, like your not moving the many water's gushing you gasp for air Almost drowning ears ringing, once upon a time we were singing" that quote to me is about falling into all the evils of this world and not being able to rise above it all

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,

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.
