If you feel alone is best to expose any thoughts of doubt,
You gotta air it out!
Awake, agree to know the day with the choices that you make,
Decide what you will live, decide what you will take,
Decisions, to release what you don't need
If you gotta let it be, then you have to let it be!
Be careful not to keep,
The residue of anything that had you feel weak,
Like what was said, versus what you think,
Sometimes you own assumptions of the ways that make you sink,
Feeling down,
It could be an addiction,
Getting up,
Right before the hesitation,
It takes determination,
Don't fall for the distractions,
These attractions are the target of your soul.
Asking you to stay when you know you have to go.
You know the things you know,
It's your past just your own,
Lessons will be lessened if you listen to their fear,
Hear your truth, keep it near!
And then you just breathe!

You gotta let it go,
Let it go so you can grow!
You gotta let it go,
Let it go! Breathe!

Avoid all this confusion,
Refuse this illusion even if you destiny is not blessed.
It's your time!
No matter who came before you,
Don't let them where you're down,
The pain of your heart,
She's your own mind.
It's irrelevant,
If relevance is measured by the elements
Without bearing a, without your own kind of,
You may find that we're living in an area that can't be defined.
Like those who thought that this was the end?
Like those who thought that the enemies would win,
Like those who let paranoia tend an insight out,
You know what this life is all about.
Can you remember before anyone had taught you
To feel as if life would never gonna treat you,
Better than a lesson, but that was in a pre-course,
What about now?
You took

Breathe!
You gotta let it go,
Let it go so you can grow!
You gotta let it go,
Let it go! Breathe!
You gotta let it go,
Let it go so you can grow!
You gotta let it go,
Let it go! Breathe!

You can do anything you want to do!
Anything that your heart truly chooses,
And may be a lonely journey but it's yours!
Is your purpose!
You may have to leave some things behind you,
You may have to change your mind
And you can't bring everybody with you,
They will be better off for having known you,
So just breathe!

You gotta let it go,
Let it go so you can grow!
You gotta let it go,
Let it go! Breathe!
You gotta let it go,
Let it go so you can grow!
You gotta let it go,
Let it go! Breathe!

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
