The end is near, panic is closing in
Sick with fear, they run
Watch freedom's fall
What have we become? Cannon fodder

Reign of terror, enslave the nations, devastation
This is war, pull the trigger
One nation under their control

Rise, the tyrants rise
The enemy inside, the tyrants rise

The end is here, feel it closing in
Blood runs red
Watch in horror, our lives destroyed
We failed

The final holocaust
Enslave the nations, annihilation
This is war, pull the trigger
One nation out of control

Rise, the tyrants rise
The enemy inside, the tyrants rise

War, pain, suffering
The price we pay to stay alive
Blood, fire, death
His glory come, his kingdom rise
This world will burn, burn, burn, burn

Rise, the tyrants rise
The enemy inside, the tyrants rise

    Bush was a tyrant. Undisputibly the worst dictator this country has ever had the misfortune to encounter. He single-handedly destroyed the constitution and the economy simultaneously. Bush and his cronies domestic and international are the tyrants, they have killed the republic and replaced it with empire and as with all empires the time of it's fall has come. Defend your precious self appointed god-king as much as you like, him and people like you have brought the end to the United States.

    The end is near. We gladly became the cannon fodder for the tyrants reign of terror. We have enslaved ourselves to them. We have allowed them to destroy our lives. We have failed as a country and a people. One nation out of control, we will pay the price for our hubris.

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."

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.
