I was getting lost
Yeah I was getting so lost
Through the storms with rain in my face

Yeah I was getting loved
Yes I was getting good love
The nerve to throw it away

To throw it away (away)
To throw it away
Throw it away

Yeah it was raining hard
It was raining real hard
Through the night and the following days

Oh I was getting high
Yeah I was getting real high
By myself but I still felt this pain

And it could take a while
Yeah this could take a long, long while
To take time to take it away

To take it away (away)
To take it away
Take it away

To take it away (away)
To take it away
Away

Now it's letting up
I think it's gonna let up
Make blue skies always bright in your days

    To me the song seems to be about a co-existing counterpart to their song "sunshine".

    This song, to me, feels like it’s about an on-going relationship. And how confusing that relationship is, and even though it brings you headaches and storms, it’s comforting and something you both need, and it has once brought about sunshine and love. As hard as it is for you and even though part of you wants to leave and escape the headache of being with someone, your heart still knows you should probably stay. The last thing you want to do is hurt that person who meant so much to you at one point. But still, he's thrown away their relationship before, done wrong by her, made his mistakes, and she’s obviously been with other people since. Now, they've both changed since they first met, but through all of their storms, they're still looking for some sunshine, or a glimmer of light to make it all worth while, maybe try to work things out and be there for each other...

    Maybe I’m an optimist... But that’s how I relate the lyrics to real life...

    I think the song is about finding love in the music again. He went through so much shit with The Starting Line where he lost the love he had for music while trying to conform to what labels wanted and what everyone else wanted rather than just playing the music he loved (getting good love, but throwing it away). Now, with Person L, he's getting to make the music he wants (now it's letting up). I think the 'getting high by myself' verse is really about playing music alone but needing that big picture to feel whole again. Sure, this song can be applied to relationships or whatever, but knowing Kenny's situation, I think it's most applicable to music. i think Kenny's done making generic relationship songs. This one's about more than just that.

    i honestly agree with BigD. Kenny went through a lot of shit and i think Person L is his way of saying that he's going to write the music he wants. however i do feel like the starting line was such a great catalyst for him because if he hadn't been so successful in that i'm not sure how many would have found out about Person L. it sucks how the music business works sometimes. i think kenny is an amazing person and he'll continue to be successful. this song is probably one of my favorites (maybe because it was one of the first i heard).

    MCSmate... that doesn't even make sense. It's "make blue skies always brighten your day." duh

    The last line is actually "May blue skies always brighten you days"...and BigD is right on..The song is about him ending his relationship with a band he thought would be everything and in actuality he ended up not wanting to be a part of it anymore..

    My Interpretation

    This to me seems like a song about a relationship.

    "i was getting lost, yeah, i was getting so lost, through the storms with rain in my face.", -means to me that he's been in the same relationship for so long but he's getting lost in it and doesn't know if he still feels the same.

    "yeah, i was getting love. yes, i was getting good love, with the nerve to throw it away.. to throw it way! away.. to throw it away. throw it away." -makes me think that he knows his lover was good to him, but he's still unsure of his love for her, and he's willing to throw it away.

    "yeah, it was raining hard. it was raining real hard, through the night and the following days." -so eventually he breaks up with her and then starts to feel like he needs her. and "raining hard" kind of sounds like he's having a miserable time without her, and regrets leaving her.

    "oh i was getting high. yeah, i was gettin real high by myself but i still felt this pain" -he's trying to forget her, possibly dating other girls & enjoying it but he still feels pain for the love that he lost.

    "and it can take awhile yeah, this can take a long long while to take time, to take it away.. to take you away! away.. to take it away.. take it away." -he's feeling like theres no way to take back the fact that he left her, and that it's going to be a while before he gets over her.

    "now it's letting up. i think it's gonna let up make blues sky always brighten my days" -he's finally feeling like he's getting over her and his skies are finally blue.

    Idk, that's just what I think of whenever I hear the song. Mainly because that's EXACTLY how I felt after I left one of my boyfriends. d:

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
