Sun shines down, it cools out the concrete of a monument saying your name.
Angels and marble where you rest, I guess it couldn't be worse,
but it's the best still.
I hope you were extra-ordinary,
not like me.

It's just beginning,
oh no goodbyes,
sleep through the ending,
but this is how we die.

Now I won't know what you learned from this place

You oughtta know, they cried at your funeral,
Every breeze is yours, so she breathed it in
Scream it out, there's not a drought in their love
The smoke, it's from the slaughterhouse
Abandoned there again.

You sleep in silence,
tucked into satin sheets the colour of the moon
She stands above you, remembering your hands
They looked like cradles.

It's just beginning,
oh no goodbyes,
sleep through the ending,
but this is how we die.

She'll never know you remember her face
You oughtta know, they cried at your funeral,
Every breeze is yours, so she breathed it in
Scream it out, there's not a drought in their love
The smoke, it's from the slaughterhouse
Abandoned there again.

[loop begins:]
Da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da da da
Do, da da da

You oughtta know, they cried at your funeral, (Ohh)
Every breeze is yours, every breeze is yours (Ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba)
Scream it out, there's not a drought in their love (Whoa)
The smoke, it's from the slaughterhouse
Abandoned there again.

You oughtta know, she cried at the funeral, (Ohh)
Every breeze is yours, so she breathed it out. (Ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba)
Scream it out, there's not a drought in their love (Whoa)
The smoke, it's from the slaughterhouse
[Loop ends]
Abandoned me again.

    My Interpretation

    My general impression is that it's to do with the Rosie Barbara & The Family Massacre concept Claudio Sanchez has been hinting at recently (Neverender London).

    The track is from the new Prizefighter Inferno EP that came with Kill Audio subscriptions.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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."

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.

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.
