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”
Break yourself, not coming out of this foolish game. What could I have said?
If you're uncomfortable, baby please tell me. Point me to the right place?
Run there, if you're going, then I'm taking you away with me... (Just because)
If I had my way, I'd lie to you and tell the truth, I'm joking. Get away from me. (Just because)
Did his helpless hands, take you away from this. Did it feel so good? Oh no... Yeah!?
I didn't get the feeling you had an answer. Explain yourself!! God it feels surreal.
Break yourself, without a moment to,
Embellish truth... Signed by you.
Hear the roar, and in a second more,
You'll be overboard... Goodbye...
This is where we stand!
This is where we stand!
FORNICATE!!!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
yeauh i already preordered. i think AMAPACP will be a good song
There's a fair few references to sex from what I'm seeing (if you look back on it after reading the last word) at least to me.
Especially having trouble with sex/relationship? That's just what I see when I read it.
this song is cool i heard in my space sounds like a act one scene one but rules i like the last word FORNICATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MANIPULATOR WOW
The song seems to be about how he and a girl had issues which led up to her cheating on him. The lines, "Did his helpless hands, take you away from this. Did it feel so good? Oh no... Yeah!?" I believe refer to the man in the affair's innocence, while she tries to get around saying it was worth cheating on him for the sex.
I agree with Manipulator Also the lines "Break yourself, without a moment to, Embellish truth... Signed by you. Hear the roar, and in a second more, You'll be overboard... Goodbye..." shows the frustration in his mind - hi's saying goodbye to his loved one
FORNICAAAATE!! ..i have a feeling this song is about a cheater.
Not tooo sure what it means, but i know they got the title from a bumper sticker they saw on some lady's car. haha
Ok, yes, sex, cheating...the first thing that came to my mind as I was reading was sexual abuse. Rape. The narrator's girlfriend is cheating on him, and her secret boyfriend on the side is abusing her?
Looking back it does not look that complicated. It makes perfect since to leave it at "cheating."
The song title appears to be protesting deforestation and industrialization...a.k.a. destroying something beautiful in exchange for creating something artificial. Fitting, no?
i think it might have to do with the persons gf cheating on him, and then later in the song he might kill her or abuse her in some way (hence the line "Hear the roar, and in a second more, You'll be overboard... Goodbye...") that just my interpretation of the song... So has anyone seen them on the tour with coheed yet? They came down to atlanta and were amazing.... the set was short though and then clutch had to ruin the energy from TFT...
I believe that this album is either a theme album or it is an concept album. It starts of with Cut Down All The Trees And Name The Streets After Them in which a guy finding out his girlfriend was cheating on him. Then Dark Trail has references to using drugs which seems like it starts a new story going to Quarter Past about him being a drug addict and is in love with someone but cant talk to. Then it seems like the character is getting a blow job in Problem!? it seems also that the woman giving him head is a drug addict too. Then he eventually kills the girl in Semi-Fiction because it seems that the woman had feelings for him but he didn't. Then he starts to remember his girlfriend that he was thinking about in Quarter Past in Oh the Casino !. I cant think of anything else that seems like a story right now but the reason why it will be a theme album because it is all about pressure and there is almost always a drug reference in the album.
