""You'll wait it out Force is not the same I bought ya This world will explode Into numb one deal owned Pray for your sons and your daughters You didn't refuse Well the first one Weak arms Right or wrong First off we'll dance when we dance The last one we fault The first one we kill Foresee her That's what we've done with your head You're begging for papa We're safer but We wash our hands in death End me When we fall He'll go Feel it grow We may not be the ones Feel it go Feel like we know We move around We'll pay We protest We'll pawn off war We protest We all hit the floor Right or wrong Ignorance at it's best We are at war You're such a fool Ignorance isn't bliss We are lied to You suckers Everyone this is not a joke In the end all suffer for what we've done Liars We all suffer""

    Ok. I know a lot of people who read this are going to be upset by what I say. And I know some will agree.

    In all honesty this song means nothing. As all of their songs do. Sure, to them, there's probably a meaning. And in a sense, that's what music is all about. But for a song to actually be "good" (and I use that term strictly because I can't think of a better one at 5 AM), for the listener as well as the artist/performer, the listener must also be able to relate to it. These lyrics are random. No rhyme or reason.

    Much like the band's style, which is all well and good. You can still do much better than this. Come on.

    I will say this, the band itself is actually pretty good, but the vocalist, who I have to assume writes most of the lyrics (I haven't been able to find if she does or not for sure, but just assume she does) is more of a hindrance to the band than an asset. Sure she can scream. She's completely unintelligible, which is really up to listener preference, when it comes to metal or other music for that matter. But the biggest problem comes when she starts singing. She's still unintelligible. And you can tell she goes out of her way to not enunciate the words.

    And I think its partly because she/they like it as a gimmick, that their lyrics are unintelligible. Wow, that makes you cool. Its like the artist who just throws paint on the canvas to be unique. All you're doing is just begging for attention. She's an attention whore.

    And they're riding the wave of attention they're getting. Eating it up like any other attention whore would. And as all fads do, they will fade.

    And I know, I know. Some of you'll say you relate to the lyrics. Sure, fine. Go for it. I won't insult you. Like what you like. But look at these lyrics and tell me there's any actual lyrical art to this. And no, I'm not saying there has to be alliteration, rhyming, or even pattern to lyrics. There should be meaning, though. Understandable meaning. And as I said, I'm sure it does to them. Which is all well and good. But for it to be considered a "good" song, that meaning should be communicable.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
