This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I've been left out alone like a damn criminal
I've been praying for help cause I can't take it all
I'm not done,
It's not over.
Now I'm fighting this war since the day of the fall
And I'm desperately holding on to it all
But I'm lost
I'm so damn lost
Oh I wish it was over,
And I wish you were here
Still I'm hoping that somehow
Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do
Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
In the blink of an eye
I can see through your eyes
As I'm lying awake I'm still hearing the cries
And it hurts
Hurts me so bad
And I'm wondering why I still fight in this life
Cause I've lost all my faith in this damn bitter strife
And it's sad
It's so damn sad
Oh I wish it was over,
And I wish you were here
Still I'm hoping that somehow
Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do
Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
I feel you fading away
I feel you fading away
I feel you fading away
I feel you fading away
Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do
Don't let it fall apart
Oh, your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do
Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
I've been praying for help cause I can't take it all
I'm not done,
It's not over.
Now I'm fighting this war since the day of the fall
And I'm desperately holding on to it all
But I'm lost
I'm so damn lost
Oh I wish it was over,
And I wish you were here
Still I'm hoping that somehow
Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do
Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
In the blink of an eye
I can see through your eyes
As I'm lying awake I'm still hearing the cries
And it hurts
Hurts me so bad
And I'm wondering why I still fight in this life
Cause I've lost all my faith in this damn bitter strife
And it's sad
It's so damn sad
Oh I wish it was over,
And I wish you were here
Still I'm hoping that somehow
Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do
Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
I feel you fading away
I feel you fading away
I feel you fading away
I feel you fading away
Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do
Don't let it fall apart
Oh, your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do
Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."
No Surprises

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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I love this song, for sure. It's so dark and edgy and actually uses the word "damn" in an appropriate context. Okay,so time for me to unleash the winds of thought upon this bad baby. Heh. Right.
This song seems, to me, to be a definite portrayal of someone who is close to losing the spiritual war we all must fight (or at least someone who's fed up with it). This person has taken part in "the fall," and is therefore condemned ("damned") to Sheol (or Hell ^,^). So the narrator of this story is stuck in a rut. He/she is standing in this darkness, with enemies on every side, but can't see a damned thing (pun intended). That persons calls on God ("I wish you were here"), and presumably God answers in a BIG way ("shot in the dark"). The association with fire blazing through the darkness also suggests a way out. However, I'm not sure if this song is really about salvation. The undertones are very dark and depressing, and it seems that the person feels as if God has "faded away." Another example: "I've lost all my faith in this damned bitter strife." So it stands to question whether or not this song is ultimately about salvation from God when we are at our lowest point, when we've all but given up hope, or whether it's about that giving up of hope for rescue. To me, it's the former, but you could definitely argue for the latter interpretation. Probably.
@ShadowsRainDown<br /> This song can't be talking to God because so many things make no sense by that interpretation. I wish I knew what interpretation would makes sense, but just consider what these lines mean if "you" is God:<br /> <br /> "What did they aim for when they missed your heart?"<br /> <br /> "In the blink of an eye, I can see through your eyes."<br /> <br /> What can it mean that this person is seeing through God's eyes, and who is missing God's heart? Is someone shooting at God, or is this metaphorical shooting?<br /> <br /> There are also things that this interpretation simply fails to explain. Strangest of all is "I breathe underwater." I really don't want to take that literally because it is too bizarre, but what sort of metaphor could it be?<br /> <br /> If this song means anything then the meaning should explain every line.
