You were the one thing that one thing that I could count on
You were my everything
And then I found out that we meant nothing from someone on the street
And I never saw it coming never saw it coming
No I never saw it coming never saw something
I believed all the things you said I believed in you

If you were me would you push you?
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you
Would you cry out would you break down?
Would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough
To make you never ever wanna be in love
What would you do, what would you do if you were me?
Would it be through?

I don't know what's left to talk about but I found it hard to leave
With us so closure how could you want her
When you were still with me

And I never saw it coming never saw it coming
No I never saw it coming never saw something
I believe all the things you said I believed in you

If you where me would you push you
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you
Would you cry out would you break down?
Would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough?
To make you never ever wanna be in love
What would you do what would you do if you were me?
Would it be through?

You turned something so good so bad
Threw out all the things we had
Put yourself in my shoes it?s sad
I believed all the things that you said I believed in you

If you where me would you push you
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you
Would you cry out would you break down?
Would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough?
To make you never ever wanna be in love
What would you do what would you do if you were me?
Would it be through?

Would it be through?

What would you do if you where me
If you were me what would you do?

What would you
What would you
What would you, do?

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."

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.
