Pain unlike pleasure
Wears no mask
(What about trust?)
Its funny you should ask
The foes inside me crave to love you
But I prefer to close my eyes
(Here I come)
And I turn out to be the one
That can go on

You just have to be mine
I love you
And I have proof
(I dream alone)
Into the body of this boat

Take this ray of light
Veil the moon and hold the tide
Calm the wind you might
Control the sea

If you save my life
We will rise and shine so bright
That the stars go blind
And leave
Leave the sky

You're the world I want to live in
Can I exist in you
(Oh you want proof?)
If we allow our souls to fly
We could meet in the sky
You go your way
I'll cross the line
From to time
(You're the fire that burns me)
(The ice that cracks beneath me)

Take this ray of light
Veil the moon and hold the tide
Calm the wind you might
Control the sea

If you save my life
We will rise and shine so bright
That the stars go blind
And leave (the sky)
That the stars go blind
And leave
Leave the sky

    I agree with LaLaLogics lyrics, they should be fixed...

    I think this song is about regret of letting someone who loved you pass you by. It's saying if you come back and give me another chance...we will rise...and shine so bright...etc. etc. Then he is asking how can he prove that he means what he says? Pleading

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.

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.
