This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Sit and watch, my TV set
What is on, will make it better (will make it better)
I wanna call and ask, what's up
Gonna dial but then I stopped (why don't you call)
To the end, my friend
Oh, what a lie
Oh, what a lie
If I could pretend, if I could lie
If I could lie
But I can't stay
No I can't stay
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
But I'll be back someday
I'll be back someday
I like to read to you at night
Like to read till you feel better (until you're better)
Now's the time for us to begin
Not the time for us to give in (it's not the time)
To the end, my friend
Oh, what a lie
Oh, what a lie
If I could pretend, if I could lie
If I could lie
But I can't say
No I can't stay
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
But I'll be back someday
I'll be back someday
You know that feeling when you're cold
How do you make it go away? (how do you make it go away)
You know that feeling when you're cold
How do you make it go away? (how do you make it go away)
To the end, my friend
Oh, what a lie
Oh, what a lie
If I could pretend, if I could lie
If I could lie
But I can't say
No I can't stay
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
But I'll be back someday
I'll be back someday
But I'll be back someday
I'll be back someday
What is on, will make it better (will make it better)
I wanna call and ask, what's up
Gonna dial but then I stopped (why don't you call)
To the end, my friend
Oh, what a lie
Oh, what a lie
If I could pretend, if I could lie
If I could lie
But I can't stay
No I can't stay
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
But I'll be back someday
I'll be back someday
I like to read to you at night
Like to read till you feel better (until you're better)
Now's the time for us to begin
Not the time for us to give in (it's not the time)
To the end, my friend
Oh, what a lie
Oh, what a lie

Get, get, get, get, get away
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away

I'll be back someday
You know that feeling when you're cold
How do you make it go away? (how do you make it go away)
You know that feeling when you're cold

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
From the album:
They yell speak up. I fill these pages like I fill those spaces with my lies. They yell step down, a crowd’s not worth this and love’s not worthless, you’ve got to step up stranger.
Might paint something I might want to hang here someday. Might write something I might want to say to you some day. Might do something I’d be proud of someday. Mark my words, I might be something someday.
They yell right on, a class act president you are my boss, I am confident in your eyes.
They yell move up, don’t stand back here and wait like an animal at a farmer's gate am I food or am I free?
So speak up this is your last chance my friend, roll the windows down and take me in.
Reach out say what you’re really about. Are you coming here or not, are you coming out?
I don’t want to know that you don’t want me. I don’t want to know what you do without me. I don’t want to know what I’ll be without you, I don’t wanna know.
this song is the way i deal with rejection. someday i'll be so much better than this, and you'll regret losing me.
Correction: A crowd's NOT worth this
and: Might paint something I might want to hang HERE someday
song's meaning is obvious. this is a GREAT new sound for them. it sucks they didn't add this sort of new change of sound to more of the album. great ending to the album, nonetheless.
i think this might be my favorite song on sainthood to me it is about inspiration and motivation to keep moving forward and blocking the negative
i love Tegan and Sara<3
when i first heard this song i thought it was a nonsense song with random lyrics but when i listened to it more and read the lyrics they made more sense.
oh wait, it's also: Might do something I'D be proud of someday
This song is my shit. I love it.
such a nice, optimistic close to a perfect album.
i don't know if this is right at all... but these lyrics seem like a reaction to prop 8/gay rights (i would think that even if it wasn't tegan and sara)
I think this song can be applied to coming out to someone important (such as parents). "I fill those spaces with my lies" ....could be about denial/being in the closet. "I don't want to know that you don't want me" ....could be about fear of rejection from a loved one. Just a thought.
Might just be me, but this song was a huge encouragement to me coming out to my family. Their disappointment was palpable, but "mark my words I might be something someday."
