I want to take my head and cut it open wide
Want to examine, oh the thoughts that circle inside
Electrocute my thoughts or put myself on stand by,
I'm so over, I'm so over you

Let's open up the sky and let the clichè's pour
Everything has been executed there before
Eight-bit fantasies, I'm yesterday's technology
Follow the leader, jump off with me

The wine is dripping with the blood off my finger tips
The mitochondrion are revolting, please take care of it
Carnivorous cells are winning against your cancer lips
So come over, come over

Oh, my God, I want to tear you apart
I am walking but I'm still asleep
Oh, my Lord, this is blasphemy
Wake me up before I fall too deep

I wish I had an original thought inside my skull
Everything has been done a million times before
My dream sequence has become my life or so it seems
All my friends are dead, in a perfect sense

Oh, my God, I want to tear you apart
I am walking but I'm still asleep
Oh, my Lord, this is blasphemy
Wake me up before I fall too deep
In too deep

Oblivious and numb
In too deep

I want to hurt you, but can't cut you fast enough
The ink is dripping, and my letter has become a mess
I want to hate you, but hate is love, just reversed
Why do we talk about things that we loathe the most?

Oh, my God, I want to tear you apart
I am walking but I'm still asleep
Oh, my Lord, this is blasphemy
Wake me up before I fall too deep
Wake me up before I fall too deep

    I think that the lyrics are actually "all my friends are dead, in a perfect scene."

    I want take my head and cut it open extra wide I want to examine oh the thoughts that seem to circle inside Electrocute my thoughts or put my self on stand by Im so over, Im so over

    Lets open up the sky and let the clichés pour Everything has been executed better before 8-bit fantasies Im yesterdays technology Follow the leader, jump off with me

    The wine is dripping with the blood off of my finger tips The mitochondrion are revolting, please take care off it Carnivorous cells are winning against your cancer lips So come over, so come over

    Oh my god, I want to tear you apart I am walking but Im still asleep Oh my lord, this is blasphemy Wake me up before I fall too deep

    I wish I had an original thought inside my skull Everything has been done a million times before My dream sequence has become my life or so it seems All my friends are dead, in a perfect scene

    Oh my god, I want to tear you apart i am walking but Im still asleep Oh my lord, this is blasphemy Wake me up before I fall too deep

    In too deep Oblivious and numb

    I want hurt you, but I cant cut you fast enough the ink is dripping, and my letter has become a mess I want to hate you, but hate is love, just reversed Why do we talk about things that we loath the most?

    Oh my god, I want to tear you apart i am walking but Im still asleep Oh my lord, this is blasphemy Wake me up before I fall too deep Oh my god, I want to tear you apart Design my world and make it incomplete Oh my lord, this is blasphemy Wake me up before I fall too deep

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
