I'm absorbed in mediocrity
? uncertainty
Glazed with profanity
And conform like fraternity
I yearn for serenity
With endless possibilities
Overwhelming capabilities

[Chorus: x2]
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know

Give it up, give it up

Well I don't know what to believe anymore
But every now and then I feel a moment of awakening
But then it's gone, then it's gone, then it's gone
Blanketed by the warmth of ignorance

[Chorus: x2]

If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
So I'll just go on living my way

There's a strength in duality
Penetrate mentality
Give it up, give it up
I've learned from casualty
Don't have faith in anything
Give it up, give it up

Singing, I don't know know, no, I'll never know
I'll give it up

[Chorus: x3]

If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
So I'll just go on living my way

    This song is not against or for religion..."i dont know" IDONT KNOW! he does not know! no one does is what he is saying. He is saying that he is giving up the thought of what happens when you die because people will never know ( well at least in our life time and science currently ).He is saying he is not sure if there is a god or after life or a renew of life... he is saying HE DOES NOT KNOW...simple lol why are you guys over analyzing. HE IS SAYING EITHER COULD BE RIGHT AND HE GOING TO LIVE HIS LIFE ANY WAY THERES NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT OR CHANGE IT!

    Tool's vicarious is another example of this lack of care for will happen and can not change! humans nature to fight and be kill each other of dislikes or survival!

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
