Hey mom, daddy left me here alone
Someone save me, someone save me
Hey God, I'm out here on my own
So now will You save me, now

I think it's funny you've been quiet for so long
When you're quiet no one proves you wrong
And dear your holiness, your army's safe and sound
Down here dying for you

And I don't know how they found me
Found me here
And I don't know how they found me
Found me here

Well, maybe you can trick a lot of 'em
Maybe if you fool the best of 'em
The rest will come around

We're all scared
So they dressed you up in all these different names
I've gotta find peace with myself
Before I give you all, before I give you anything at all

I think it's funny you've been quiet for so long
When you're quiet no one proves you wrong
And dear your holiness, your army's safe and sound
They're down here dying for you

And I don't know how they found me
Found me here
And I don't know how they found me
Found me here

Well, maybe you can trick a lot of 'em
Maybe if you fool the best of 'em
The rest will come around, around

Been thinking that there's something more
And that you'd come down and tell me yourself
Now I realize it's a waste of time
Another penny thrown down the well

And I don't know how they found me
Found me here
And I don't know how they found me
Found me here

And I don't know how they found me
Found me here
And I don't know how they found me
Found me here

Maybe you can trick a lot of 'em
Maybe if you fool the best of 'em
They'll come around

    In the cd case, the lyrics say: Hey mom, THEY left me here alone. But I dunno, because they also say "I think it's funny you've been QUITE for so long" which obviously is an error on their part.

    I think the song is about being ANGRY at god really, also questioning them. Because he says: I gotta find peace myself/Before I give you all/Before I give you anything at all So it sounds to me like he isnt exactly saying HEY GOD DOESNT EXIST but more like I have to figure out things on my own before I start relying on God, because all God has caused him was pain.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
