don't get me wrong.
i appreciate the appreciation but don't mistake my gratitude for half-heartedness
i'm not shouting these words out for nothing now.
i still feel like there's nobody listening in an empty room full of people.
i hope these walls have ears they'll be the only one i'll ever get to.
EVERYBODY.
they all love to listen to the pretty music
but nobody hears my therapy bled upon this paper.
it translates only to...when all this is done and recorded
please don't say it was wasted on you in vain.
i'd rather you just hit stop right now and walk away
you don't hear a single thing that i say.
what's the difference when you don't read there's a lesson to be learned.
PAY ATTENTION! no this song isn't about my ex girlfriend,
didn't i just say to pay attention?
EVERYBODY.
they all love to listen to the pretty music
but nobody hears my therapy bled upon this paper.
it translates only to a catchy tune to you but i'm glad you're enjoying yourselves.
you fake like you know it so well so tell me what this song is about.
maybe girls? maybe god? maybe how well all moved on and all sold out?
i just want you all to know just how very wrong everyone of you are.
the substance is there and it isn't hard to decode.
we never said we said it best our lyrics are undressed.
we never wrote them to impress anybody. the point is this.
we've got something to say and we'll go wherever to say it.
and that is so much more than any of you can say for yourselves.
we're calling you out to call you in. so here's a second chance.
we can take this line by line and we won't second guess.
to accept is to not except a hand from anyone.
so what are you going to do now?
you're searching. reaching out there's not enough to get you through.
no turning back you've got to take this, you must face this alone.

    I think it's about how when trying to figure out what songs mean in general people are wrong and don't know what the person was actually trying to say when they wrote it.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
