Step forth and face the beast that is the mighty Tempest! Dare to go for a spin on the world's most horrifically fabulous ride! Behold the Tempest!
The fastest, highest, steepest, and tallest coaster-ride ever to exist on this or any other planet!

We fuckin' rollin' with no controllin', them bolts ain't holdin'.
Take you higher, rollin' on wires, till time expires.
Swinging corners, so kids are goners, you hangin' on-ers
Duck them tunnels, they shrink like funnels... Get your forehead pummeled
We upside down you, then round and round you, your evil found you.
Let's go faster, it's sheer disaster,while spinnin' backwards.
Jagged edges, no kind of ledges, with broken wedges.
It's the largest, fastest, steepest, deepest, tallest, all this and more, roller coaster.

Chorus:
It's something thrilling for you, so get on, get on it (come on The Tempest)
You got that feelin' in you, so jump on, jump on it (Jump on it)
It's something wicked for you so get on it, get on it (Let's ride The Tempest)
We got that ticket for you, so jump up, jump up on it.

Electrifyin' and now you climbin', feels like you flyin'
The Carts are shakin', slowly elevatin', sound like they breakin'.
Rickety, rackety, clickity, clack, up we go, you no look back
Some french guy had to look, froze up and fell out, he got so shook.
So fuck him, them polls keep duckin', this cart you stuck in upward spiral, the rings of fire, still climbing higher
Rackety, rickity, clackity, click, now you on the tip-top tipity tip
Tip of the largest, fastest, steepest, deepest, tallest, all this, and more, roller coaster

Chorus

Straight down, you fallin' you fallin' staight down so fast your skin is crawlin'
Straight down, you fallin' you fallin' staight down so fast your skin is crawlin'
You fallin' so fast, you see your whole life, your balls jump up your ass in a quick dash, you get whiplash, the shit fast on your bitch ass, and it don't stop till the shit crash

Chorus 2x

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
