You wanna put two in my chest
I wanna be the one in your head
In your head, in your head
Betrayed, say you love me but cast the first stone
Betrayed, left me outnumbered to the wolves

To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
But you left me to the wolves

Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you

You let me believe that you're so right
But it's only in your eyes, in your eyes
Deceiver, say you love me but I found lies
Deceiver, left me for dead to the wolves

To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
But you left me to the wolves

Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you

To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
But you left me to the wolves

Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you

    "I heard once, and I am clearly paraphrasing, ‘show me your friends I will know all I need to know about you’. Who we surround ourselves with clearly helps in the defining process of what we will become in the future.

    I have had friends, like we all have, that have made decisions that have lead to the disintegration of the relationships; and perhaps it is for the best. If the nature of the relationship was never one of mutual respect and understanding then maybe it is best that they are far removed from your life to begin with." - Stephen Christian anberlinlyrics.tumblr.com June 2014

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
