"Nice and Chilly, Huh?"
"It's so cold"
"Yeah"
"Kinda happy that fool died, honestly.
hahaha."
"You gonna come?"
"Yeah, let's go..."

Never was a killer
But I spilt enough blood
Never thought I'd be the one
to sweep your fuckin' ashes underneath my rug
People come and people go
But I ain't people
So tell your people
When they see me
They gonna feel the evil
You missed the past
Thought them city lights would make you last
Now you're saying rest and peace,
packin' all your bags
Say good-bye, say good-bye
But save your last dance
Take your last glance at me
Now it's your chance

Good-bye Good-bye
Everything will be alright
Good-bye Good-bye
I promise I'll be by your side
Good-bye Good-bye
Rest in Peace alone
I wouldn't put a fuckin' flower on your gravestone
If you died
Good-bye Good-bye
Everything will be alright
Good-bye Good-bye
I promise I'll be by your side
Good-bye Good-bye
Rest in Peace alone
I wouldn't put a fuckin' flower on your gravestone
if you died

I used to be the boy
The only boy my mama had
Now I'm sitting in this house underneath what's past
Cleaning out where we used to drink and laugh
Thinking what happened
How'd it happen
How I didn't see the past
Seemed like it all happened all too fast
Think inside was my mask
I was caught up lost in the mass
Now it's dark and now it's black
I missed the contrast
You say it's black and white
Black and white my ass
and in these moments I've been wrong
these moments seem so long
ticking on the clock 'til the moments gone
and I don't wanna go back
relapse the day
collapse the face while I'm lookin down the drain

Good-bye Good-bye
Everything will be alright
Good-bye Good-bye
I promise I'll be by your side
Good-bye Good-bye
Rest in Peace alone
I wouldn't put a fuckin' flower on your gravestone
If you died
Good-bye Good-bye
Everything will be alright
Good-bye Good-bye
I promise I'll be by your side
Good-bye Good-bye
Rest in Peace alone
I wouldn't put a fuckin' flower on your gravestone
if you died

see my councious don't work no more
it don't hurt no more
to see you lyin it don't work no more
so when I'm saying "stay away"
realize I ain't fuckin' playin
younger let my younger days may be hungry
but I'm crazed
raised by criminal ways
hear the chandelier break
it ain't no mistake
I'm waitin' on alannas grave
inking pictures from my veins
ain't a fuckin' mean for change
linking for my brothers chain
on my arm you'll see the same
And if I never see your face
I will always feel the same
divide me from the wrong
so when I'm gone my spirits will live on
let my lyrics show you God

Good-bye Good-bye
Everything will be alright
Good-bye Good-bye
I promise I'll be by your side
Good-bye Good-bye
Rest in Peace alone
I wouldn't put a fuckin' flower on your gravestone
If you died
Good-bye Good-bye
Everything will be alright
Good-bye Good-bye
I promise I'll be by your side
Good-bye Good-bye
Rest in Peace alone
I wouldn't put a fuckin' flower on your gravestone
If you died

    Deuce seems to be singing about an ex or maybe a family member who did something so hurtful to him, he won't even go to their funeral anymore. He used to tell this person how he would always be there for them, but after what they did, he doesn't want to be anymore.

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
