This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Feels like the weight of the world
Like God in heaven gave me a turn
Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you
Still in the dark, can you fix me?
Free fall, free fall, all through life
If you love me then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I used to be
She's nothing to me
Feels like the weight of the world
Like all my screaming has gone unheard
And oh, I know you don't believe in me
Safe in the dark, how can you see?
Free fall, free fall, all through life
If you love me then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I used to be
If you love me then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I was
If you love me then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I used to be
Like God in heaven gave me a turn
Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you
Still in the dark, can you fix me?
Free fall, free fall, all through life
If you love me then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I used to be
She's nothing to me
Feels like the weight of the world
Like all my screaming has gone unheard
And oh, I know you don't believe in me
Safe in the dark, how can you see?
Free fall, free fall, all through life
If you love me then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I used to be
If you love me then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I was
If you love me then let go of me
I won't be held down by who I used to be

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
i love the lyrics to this, but the music is if-y. i don't know. it just seems a little too hardcore for the subject, but i do love the guitars-- i'm just saying maybe they could've made this one softer and left the guitars for the more hardcore songs. =\ still evanescence though, so it's still amazing.
i heard that this song is about how amy knew that people were going to judge her/the band about the new album and how it's different than fallen. 'i won't be held down by who i used to be', i.e. musicians can't keep writing the same music over and over, and as she changed as a person the way she wanted her music to sound changed too. i think the 'if you love me then let go of me' part means if you liked my past stuff get over the fact that my newer music might sound different and enjoy how my writing has grown. the weight of the world is being pressured by people's expectations to write the same type of stuff as she did before versus what she wants to write.
I always thought it was about how Amy's fans look up to her so much, but she is just human. She can't save everyone. And all of her fans are looking to her as their Dark Goddess and she doesn't get it because if she's dying inside and they know it, why are they trying to be like her?
just my opinion. even if i may be one of those fans who look up to her like that, in all honesty.
the music-box sound is really creepy. this sounds sorta like lacuna coil (another pseudo-goth band), but less heavy and a bit slower.
in this song, amy wants her love (shaun?) to leave her for her own good.
it's doesn't really remind me of Lacuna coil. The lyrics remind me that within temptation would right. Well that's my opinion. Or when ben told her she can't write that and hold her back.
I like this one too. Its one of my favs
you could also download it off of isohunt... that way you help other people download it.
I like the song from 2:53 to the end, it sounds cool.
Basically its about Shaun. How his problems were like a weight on her. But now she is free, and not the same person she was like when she was with him. A definate "i am woman, hear me roar" song lol.
This is a very strong song. I like the lines "I won't be held down by who I used to be" I keep telling that myself all the time.
I think it's about someone who doesn't let you be who you really are and you feel pressured. When you try to free yourself the person still clings to you thinking he loves you but you realize that you can only be happy if the person leaves you and "lets go".
