Hold on to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave (wave) is stringing us along
Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble, it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble, it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

    The lyrics are simple, but so simple it makes me feel there is much more to it.

    This song is written off of a huge transition, I liken it to how my soul mate freaked out once we moved in together. She was so used to having alone time, her things, her space. But we moved forward regardless out of Love - perhaps as the wave Phillip was describing. "And although this wave is stringing us along".

    Moving together is stressful on both parties. The figure who is reassuring is saying that he/she will step up and make sure that it all works out. "Just know you're not alone, 'Cause I'm going to make this place your home"

    Once things calm down life together will become easier, don't let fear "aka demons" stop you from embracing this life together. That fear will only make things worse. Fear will stop you from opening up to the idea of sharing a home with someone.

    The song sings to me the internal struggles that many couples go through when they are moving forward in their relationship. Often time there is one person who is afraid, and the other person who is assuring/driving the changes.

    My Opinion

    Damndest (sp?) simplest song I have heard in sometime, but has a rhythm and content that makes it so very powerful! I am a guitar player! Damn good one I will say, but 3 years ago lost my small finger in a table saw accident and it simply hurts to play! Never made much off playing either, and I always kept the day job! But this song I predict is going to make me do something about that! Either painfully learn to be ambidextrous or suffer the pain in playing normal! To me the lyrics are positive but the rhythm and drums used take over! The positive outlook cannot be denied, and isn’t that what it is supposed to do? Just like a faith in an omnipresent god! At least the feeling is immediate and does not take a lot of mindfulness to process as Christianity does! More later about Buddhist philosophy!

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
