it's safe to say i'm walking a lot
it's safe to say i'm thinner
it's safe to say if we don't find food soon
we won't make it through winter
i'm walking, i'm running, i'm picking up steam
i'm threatening to explode
i'm going to make it, we're going to make it
before the cows come home
before the cows come through
before the cows come through

it's safe to say i'm walking a lot
it's safe to say i'm thinner
it's safe to say if we don't find food soon
we won't make it through winter

    I think some people mystify artists a bit much, to me, there is nothing to obscure about this song. "its safe to say that im walking a lot" is the poets way of saying he's trying, he's looking for his treasure, "its safe to say im thinner" is his way of saying look, ive made my sacrifices on this search,

    "it's safe to say if we don't find food soon we won't make it through winter"

    if he doesnt find something fulfilling soon, he doesnt know how he can go on, he needs his food, of the spirit

    c'mon, he's walking hjes running hes picking up steam, he knows hes good at what he does, but that doesnt seal the deal, hes threatening to explode, make an impact, regardless of effect,

    hes going to make it hes going to make it

    i know they had already produces 2 albums before this, but thats not to say he wasnt still searching for something, or that maybe they were older thoughts he was just never able to articulate to a song like here, it seems oyu would have to be very selective to be so damn good

    i think the song is most apparant in its first two lines, its quite insightful

    its safe to say im walking a lot its safe to say im thinner

    sure, could be a soldier, but it sounds more like an unfulfilled searching to me

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."

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.

Page
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.
