[ Verse 1 : Deacon & Anetra ]
The evil, the good, legal illegal what's hood
we see through people
but we don't look in ourselves like we should
we try to grow in the cold, too busy shoveling snow
that we tend to forget about the light
that's warming our soul
( x 2 )

if you wanna be healed then you gotsta reveal the truth ( x 4 )

[ Bridge ]
set your eyes on the sun (eyes)
what has brought you this far? ( x 2 )

[ Natti ]
is it clearer in the mirror when you look at your exterior,
in fear of ya interior voice
some whos the one with good game that cook caine proper
and offer it up to junkies as a choice
seems to whisper to sistas to switch they mista
simply to get that financial support
then turn and make that same supporter beat em and
mistreat em and leave em after breaking em for the sport
got a married man licking his lips at ladies of leisure
loins feelin the fever, rather cheat her than leave her
love his money too much so it's cheaper to keep her
cause she's a Teenage Love like beepers and reefer
ain't nobody on this earth been perfect since birth
sinning and doin the erk and jerk in Church
then the next minute be back to puttin in work
jumpin into them holes not lookin in first

[ LaDonna Young ]
If you wanna be healed
then you gotsta reveal the truth ( x 4 )
Reveal
Reveal the truth
Reveal, Reveal, Reveal the truth
You gotta reveal the truth, reveal the truth,
reveal the truth
you, you, you gotta reveal the truth

[ Bridge ]

    I think this song is about the Light being God, since I know they are a very religious but still awesome rap group basically, saying we're so caught up in our own bullshit livess we're not even aware of all our sins and looking inside of our self, we're not really happy we gotta come to this realization and accept the truth then will be happy

    Song Meaning

    While it's definitely a spiritual song, I think the overall message is about how money and its use as a means to enrich one in a superficial sense has replaced the inner riches that accompany living one's life in a positive way. I think allusions to God (the light) are only half the story, with references to drug dealing (shoveling snow) and other monetary pursuits equally important.

    I thought this song was about not being happy with what you have, but settling with it because doing otherwise would mean putting in some sort of effort into something.

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."

Magical
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.

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.
