Lady luck ain't playing on my side
Lady luck ain't smiling down
Lady luck don't care about my pride
Lady luck lays it down

I get this feeling I can dream tonight
Yeah I've been seeing all the signs
A dream no one can dream to undermine
This time I am gonna get it right
Lady luck ain't playing on my side
Lady luck ain't smiling down
Lady luck don't care about my pride
Lady luck lays it down

Sometimes I wish I could anesthetize
Bring up the lows bring down the highs
She is the one I need to sympathise
She is the one who sees me cry
And I've been waiting for her day and night
I know my lady is around
I would put everything I have on the line
And I will get better odds than now
Lady luck I need a little light
Lady luck I need you now
Lady luck you have to make it right
Lady luck don't let me down
And it ain't something you can synthesise
It ain't something you can buy
Ain't got nothing to do with wrong and right
Got everything to do with time
Lady luck you save my life tonight
Lady luck I owe you now
Lady luck I'll be a better guy
Lady I'll share your luck around
Lady luck is standing by my side
Lady luck won't let me drown
Lady luck shows me a better sign
Lady luck lays it down.

    Great Song.

    "Sometimes I wish I could anesthetize Bring up the lows, bring down the highs"

    • Love these lyrics

    Do you think its about faith/being positive or literally luck?

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

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.
