How's the water?
The blue pill's for you
Are they poisoning all that's left till you're alone in a dark room?
And all is forgiven
Water gone
I will comfort you, my blood

The clock is ticking
But a calm looms over your face like you are not alone
I am your scars, frozen and framed
For the good times

A photograph found
Bound by your secrets
Hidden deep with old memories
When you were young and beautiful (Beautiful and free)
Myth and fantasy and fantastic times
I never asked you all the damn things I wanted to

But tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is, tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is, tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is, tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is, tomorrow is, tomorrow is another day

Oh father
Watch him pray for you
Is he comforting distraction?
But there's a boy in the corner
And it is forbidden
You alone
Is this Earth, is this heaven?

The clock is ticking
But a calm looms over your face like you are not alone
I am your scars, frozen and framed
For the good times

A photograph found
Bound by your secrets
Hidden deep with old memories
When you were young and beautiful (Beautiful and free)
Myth and fantasy and fantastic times
I never asked you all the fucking things I wanted to
But tomorrow is another day

Tomorrow is, tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is, tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is, tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is, tomorrow is, tomorrow is another day

    Death freezes our existence. Indifference. "If you freeze tomorrow", if you come back in our memories, after we saw your eyes closing as you faded away, you are indeed lucky. But we will all freeze tomorrow. And all the people that saw our eyes closing will eventually forget us, as they die as well.

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about waking up with someone you slept with, since you got so intoxicated and didn't know what you were doing.

    "i don't hate you or want you enough to wake you " She doesn't dislike the guy, but doesn't care about him enough to wake him up and try to get to know him

    "there's a crack in the window, return of the key in ignition " She leaves, in her car

    "so if you freeze tomorrow come back lucky we said as your eyes were closing" She's remembering them talking about like "wow this is fun, but we're drunk so we might not actually like each other. If we still are into each other tomorrow, we can always see each other then" as they were falling asleep.

    And the lucky part, I think it's because they both felt lucky to meet someone they were so into. But they were drunk and she realizes that the next morning, she doesn't care for him at all.

    Sorry that probably made NO sense but that's just what the song made me think of haha

    i agree with nietzsche1899, that this song is about indifference. i think it's a bit chilling really. "i don't hate you or want you or celebrate you.." for me it makes me think of if someone you don't really care about is in a coma or something, and they are trying to decide to wake them or not. maybe they are saying that now only luck will bring them back.

    I disagree. I see it more as being numb towards the person, not having any strong feelings towards them at all. Just neutral. They don't want them or hate them. Not both, neither.

    100% CORRECT lyrics.

    TOMORROW

    i don't hate you or want you enough to wake you there's a crack in the window, return of the key in ignition

    so if you freeze tomorrow come back lucky we said as your eyes were closing

    there's a crack in the window, return of the key in ignition but i don't hate you or want you or celebrate you

    so if you freeze tomorrow come back lucky we said as your eyes were closing so if you freeze tomorrow come back lucky we said as your eyes were closing

    but i don't hate you or want you enough to wake you

    so if you freeze tomorrow come back lucky we said as your eyes were closing so if you freeze tomorrow come back lucky we said as your eyes were closing

    we said as your eyes were closing we said as your eyes were closing we said as your eyes were closing we said as your eyes were closing

    so if you freeze tomorrow come back lucky

    i think this song is about jesus, how the church keeps telling you that he's coming back, but everyone knows he's dead, and stuff.

    I don't know necessarily about the being drunk part, but it could well be about a one-night stand, or an encounter with someone at the time you felt into (for whatever reason), yet the next day will probably never really want to see again, not in that way anyway. If they freeze or forget about tomorrow and hold onto the feeling that night, then maybe they'll want to see each other again/have a repeat performance ;-)

    Said that way, it's a bit like having a one nighter with an old ex you don't really care for but get caught up in the moment anyway.

    had the same thought as hilary, but i like to think it goes a bit deeper. i like to think it's about feeling conflicted and not knowing what to do in a relationship - but fearing you're running out of time and the future could be slipping away. so you sneak out and let it lie and hope when things come back around you're luckier than before.

    'The crack in the window' sparks your interest in that particular person, maybe, but regardless, there is a lack of concern towards that person - even if they eventually come back, unfrozen, and alive (after you freeze them, if you do). Take cryogenics, for instance, perhaps you will freeze the person - and feel guilty towards your choices of freezing them. (freezing - cryogenics - being a metaphor for stopping them dead in their tracks and causing them pain - but the guilt manifesting afterwards as a way to NOT be apologetic, so you don't die as well)

    Or maybe it's literal indifference. You don't actually want to 'freeze' them and their memories- but if you hate them enough, you will want to see their heart stop (and if they 'come back lucky', they are a miracle). Indifference, guilt, hatred or distraught could all, in theory, make it seem as if they are 'frozen' from you by you holding up a psychological shield, without actually doing so. There is a difference between holding up a psychological shield and shattering somebody's memories for protection... etc.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
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.
Album art
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.
