How I Remember You

Sullivan

Every afternoon I go inside
These bitter walls
And I'll open up your eyelids
To uncover what went wrong
I know it's true what they say
You can get hurt everyday
And it all comes around in a circle

Last night
While you were sleeping
I never noticed this before
How I even want you more
When you are right here
In time I hope you will find out
That everything that I have said
Was in your best interest instead
What I wanted out of you is not my fault

I've never been so in love with you
I've never been one to tell the truth
I've never felt so alive
‘Cause I wanna know
Why it feels this way inside me
How you feel when you're around me
I wanna know what's going on
Promise me

Trapt inside this room
And all I have left is to say
If you want this come and get this
And I won't stand in your way
I know it's true what they say
You can't get hurt every day
And it all comes around in a circle

Last night
While we were sleeping
I never noticed this before
How I even want you more
When you are right here
In time I hope you will find out
That everything that I have said
Was in your best interest instead
What I wanted out of you is not my fault

I've never been so in love with you
I've never been one to tell the truth
I've never felt so alive
‘Cause I wanna know
Why it feels this way inside me
How you feel when you're around me
I wanna know what's going on

‘Cause I wanna be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
‘Cause I wanna leave with you, leave with you
Leave with you leave with you
So come on and tell me right now if you're interested
‘Cause I wanna be with you

Promise me
Promise me

Promise me your words mean something
Don't want them to add up to nothing

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.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."
