Appetites reach all time highs
No ones seems to care who dies
Prey on every little thing in sight
To kill or be killed state of mind
Anything to stay alive
Never ever show your terrified

It's a common casualty
To trust in what you see
Saints and scholars
Don't even bother
The bullet in the blood
Came from those you love
Friendly fires
Death by a liar

Dumb, deaf and blind
(Dumb, deaf and blind)
Fall back in line
(Fall back in line)

Now is the time
To open your eyes
You need it, you want it,
You did it, you got it
So act like you own it this time
The coma of lies
Comfort your mind
Your feeding the fire
And bleeding desire
It's down to the wire this time

Focus now on how to gain
Loyalty from enemies
Waiting patiently for when to strike

The bullet in the blood
Came from those you trust
Friendly fires
Death by a liar

Dumb, deaf and blind
(Dumb, deaf and blind)
Fall back in line
(Fall back in line)

Now is the time
To open your eyes
You need it, you want it,
You did it, you got it
So act like you own it this time
The coma of lies
Comfort your mind
Your feeding the fire
And bleeding desire
It's down to the wire this time

These ravenous bastards always get what they're after
These ravenous bastards always get what they're after
These ravenous bastards always get what they're after
These ravenous bastards

Them vultures swarm in circles like a storm
The carnivores rip into the core
For more and more and more
They rip into the core

Now is the time
To open your eyes
You need it, you want it,
You did it, you got it
So act like you own it this time
The coma of lies
Comfort your mind
Your feeding the fire
And bleeding desire
It's down to the wire this time

    Wrong song... Here's the right damn lyrics...

    Now is the time (ravenous)

    Appetites reach all time highs No ones seems to care who dies Prey every little thing in sight

    Decay will be killed state of mind Anything to stay alive Never ever show your terrified

    It’s a common casualty To trust in what you see Saints and Scholars Don’t even bother The bullet in the blood Came from those you love Friendly fires Death by a liar

    Dumb, Deaf and Blind Fall back in line

    Now is the time To open your eyes You need it, you want, You did it, You got it So act you own it this time The coma of lies Comfort your mind Your feeding the fire And bleeding desire It’s down to the wire this time

    Focus now on how to gain Loyalty from enemies Waiting patiently for when to strike The bullet in the blood Came from those you trust Friendly Fires Death by a liar

    Dumb, deaf and blind Fall back in line

    Now is the time To open your eyes You need it, you want it, You did it, you got it So act you own it this time The coma of lies Comfort your mind Your feeding the fire And bleeding desire It’s down to the wire this time

    Those ravenous bastards always get what their after Those ravenous bastards always get what their after Those ravenous bastards always get what their after Those ravenous bastards

    The virtuous ones always circle like a storm The carnivores always rip into the cold For merry merry more They rip into the cold

    Now is the time To open your eyes You need it, you want it, You did it, you got it So act you own it this time The coma of lies Comfort your mind Your feeding the fire And bleeding desire It’s down to the wire this time

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
