Somethings
I should of known to see coming
And why is it such a burden?
And why can't I make it leave?

And it's funny that
If I don't forgive it'll kill me
So, how can I skip the time I need
To stop the remembering

Cause I wanna
And I need, uhh

Waiting, waiting
I'm trying
To get out, to get out
But I'm locked right in

So take this, take this
Away from me
So I can live
So I can live

We all get there
Years go by, we forget to care
Cause years went by and there's more despair
The cards are dealt and received

And it builds up (and it builds up)
Wears me down, it's monotonous
My personality's colorless
Becoming bland and asleep

And I hate it, that I'm stuck here
(Wasting time)

Waiting, waiting
I'm trying
To get out, to get out
But I'm locked right in

So take this, take this
Away from me
So I can live
So I can live
Ohh

Oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

Waiting, waiting
I'm trying
To get out, to get out
But I'm locked right in

So take this, take this
Away from me
So I can live
So I can live
So I can live
Cause I need to live
Cause I need to live

    to me it is clearing about forgiving, i can relate to this song on such a level. that feeling how you want to forgive but you just can't let it go. how you ask god to help. how when you don't forgive your basically stuck, and that not forgiving hurts yourself away. that feeling of not moving on cause because you just won't forgive. how it just eats away at you. bryce is just waiting, becuase thats all he can do to hope to forgive. because forgiveness takes time and he knows that "So, how can I skip the time I need To stop the remembering" he wants to get rid of the burden and just forgive so he can finally live. because when you don't forgive it is a burden that takes a toll on you. well now im just ranting, its just totally get this song.

    i think the best line of the song is "If I don't forgive it'll kill me" it is like the main theme of the song to move on you have to forgive.

    this is such a good song, musically it is not my favorite, but the lyrics are so good and so true, for anyone who has ever had trouble forgiving someone they must totally be able to understand this song.

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
