Laughter is the only thing that'll keep you sane
This world is dyin' more and more every day
Don't let evil get you down
In this madness, spinning 'round and 'round

[Chorus]
I want you to live forever
Underneath the sky so blue

Some people say faith is a childish game
Well, play on, children, like it's Christmas day.
Sing me a song, sing me a melody
You can sing out loud, 'cause you're a symphony.

[Chorus: x2]

Take courage when the road is long
Don't ever forget that you're never alone

[Chorus: x3]

    This is a truly great song. I see people every day that speak and breathe these words out of their mouth But don’t act upon it. It’s a farce to show the world that they are a great person but that’s as far as it goes. I almost got caught up with an older man I didn’t know who he was. He caused great pain and suffering on his family. He speaks and breathes out of his mouth that he cares but his actions are much much different. His actions continue to inflict more pain and suffering by doing nothing, nothing at all to rectify his suffrage on his own family. In fact it is all about him. And when I saw that, I saw his true self and I had to talk with my parents and I got out of that relationship, it wasn’t good. How can a man be so concerned with himself that he allows his family of many many years to go on suffering and they did nothing to deserve it nothing at all including his ex-wife. What he did to her is beyond anything I could even imagine. For me to ever be with someone like that would be the dumbest thing I could ever do in my life. I don’t know that I hear he’s spreading rumors about me that I wanted to have kids with him and that is far from the truth is the last person I would ever do that with he’s twice my age and I’ve had better sex than him if I must be truthful. If we could all live the morales of these songs such as this I would be a better world but again I don’t think there are many people that do

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.

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.
