Serait-elle, à ma place
Plus forte qu'un homme?
Au bout de ces impasses
Où elle m'abandonne
Vivre l'enfer, mourir au combat
Faut-il, pour lui plaire
Aller jusque là?
Se peut-il que j'y parvienne?
Se peut-il qu'on nous pardonne?
Se peut-il qu'on nous aime
Pour ce que nous sommes?

Se met-il à ma place quelquefois
Quand mes ailes se froissent
Et mes îles se noient?
Je plie sous le poids
Plie sous le poids
De cette moitié de femme
Qu'il veut que je sois
Je veux bien faire la belle
Mais pas dormir au bois
Je veux bien être reine
Mais pas l'ombre du roi
Faut-il que je cède?
Faut-il que je saigne
Pour qu'il m'aime aussi
Pour ce que je suis?

Pourrait-il faire en sorte (ferait-elle pour moi)
D'ouvrir un peu la porte? (Ne serait-ce qu'un pas)
Pourrait-il faire encore (encore un effort)
Un geste, un pas vers moi? (Un pas vers moi)

Je n'attends pas de toi
Que tu sois la même
Je n'attends pas de toi
Que tu me comprennes
Mais seulement que tu m'aimes
Pour ce que je suis

Se met-elle à ma place quelquefois?
Que faut-il que je fasse
Pour qu'elle me voit?
Vivre l'enfer, mourir au combat
Veux-tu faire de moi
Ce que je ne suis pas?

Je veux bien tenter l'effort
Te regarder en face
Mais le silence est mort
Et le tien me glace
Mon âme sœur
Cherche l'erreur
Plus mon sang se vide
Et plus tu as peur

Faut-il que je t'apprenne (je ne demande rien)
Les eaux troubles où je traîne? (Où tu vas, d'où tu viens)
Faut-il vraiment que tu saches (tout ce que tu caches)
Le doute au fond de moi? (Au fond de toi)

Je n'attends pas de toi
Que tu sois la même
Je n'attends pas de toi
Que tu me comprennes
Mais seulement que tu m'aimes
Mais seulement que tu m'aimes
Pour ce que je suis

Quand je doute
Quand je tombe
Et quand la route est trop longue
Quand parfois
Je ne suis pas
Ce que tu attends de moi
Que veux-tu
Qu'on y fasse?
Qu'aurais-tu fait à ma place?

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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.

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.
