You've given me, nowhere to go.
Yeah, you finally have control.
And if there's a cure I don't wanna know.
Cause this poison in me's so intoxicating.

I was right when I thought you would be back for my health,
Keep on telling myself that it's alright.
But now I'm done cause I can't get this taste out of my mouth,
And I do not intend to try.

You chuck me in and spit me out,
I cannot control the feeling.
Poisonous kisses from your mouth,
That leave me so addicted.

Yeah, that's me, nowhere to go.
I have given up control.
Walking the sun to the sand,
With the one that kills me standing hand in hand.

And we'll just wait till the day has burnt out in the sea,
Till we finally see the moonlight.
And then we'll swim far away from where we hated to be,
Always knowing that nothing's alright.

You chuck me in and spit me out,
I cannot control the feeling.
Poisonous kisses from your mouth,
That leave me so addicted.

I let you in, you knock me out,
No air is left for breathing.
Poisonous kisses from your mouth,
That leave me so addicted.

Yeah you're a part of me, A part I cannot let go.
Your love so poisoning, Can't tell is this a dream,
Is that a way to wake up.

When i looked up you were the only one around,
I couldn't move and so you pick me off the ground.
I'll stay addicted to the poison that I love,
Addicted to the poison that I love.

You chuck me in and spit me out,
I cannot control the feeling.
Poisonous kisses from your mouth,
That leave me so addicted.

I let you in, you knock me out,
No air is left for breathing.
Poisonous kisses from your mouth,
That leave me so addicted.

That leave me so addicted.

    This song is about shooting up, obviously, but its about that point when you don't want to quit getting high. When you don't want help for your addiction even though it has complete control of your life. Its hard to explain I guess but I can just relate to it all!

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.

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.
