Devil Beside You

The Used

Just by the look of it
As in the way you wrote me off
I'm not supposed to see
Your eyes tell lies your mouth could never spill

I wasn't feeling it
I don't even need to shake your hand
Guess, you were born to quit
Your eyes tell lies your mouth could never spill
Eyes tell lies your mouth could never spill

So nice to meet you
I see right through that smile
So in other words
So nice to meet you
I hope I never see your face again
(Again, again)

You don't want a part of it
Don't wanna be seen with a type like you
I know you were born to quit
Your eyes tell lies your mouth could never spill

Can we get on with it? (Can we get on with it?)
We both need to go our separate ways
Never be seen again
Your eyes tell lies your mouth could never spill
Eyes tell lies your mouth could never spill

So nice to meet you
I see right through that smile
So in other words
So nice to meet you
I hope I never see your face again

Devil beside you
To watch you die when you can't find a remedy
So nice to meet you (meet you)
I hope I never see your face
I hope I never see your face again
(Again, again, again)

I hope I never see
Hope I never see your face
I hope I, I hope I, I hope I
I hope I never see your face

So nice to meet you
I see right through that smile
So in other words
So nice to meet you
I hope I never see your face again

Devil beside you
To watch you die 'cause you can't find a remedy
So nice to meet you (your eyes)
(Tell lies) I hope I never see your face
I hope I never see your face again (again)

    Eh, this is probably my favorite song off the new album. I'm glad to see The Used is making a comeback in my eyes.

    The self-titled album's one of my favorite albums of all time, but I absolutely hate In Love And Death. It just sounds so...incincere...compared to the first album, I think.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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."

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.
