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”
You can find me drifting slowly sinking beneath the sea.
I try to catch my breath, a silent struggle drowned in my apathy.
Yeah I’m still caught up on all the things I know I’ll never be.
Erase me.
You won’t find me
Because I don’t know where I am myself. You see,
I’ve been waiting for so long and hoping that I’d see
A sign to point me in the right direction,
But where I am the signs have been torn down.
No, I won't be found.
I’m feeling fragile, cast aside these walls surrounding,
Losing touch with what's around me. I just don’t feel like myself anymore.
I can’t even sleep. Take my dreams they’re yours to keep.
Take my head and hold me down. I’m in too deep. I can’t get out.
Running in circles and falling in holes all the way to where I’m trying to go.
Most of the time that I think there’s an end, I come to find out that it’s not even close.
You can find me drifting slowly sinking beneath the sea.
I try to catch my breath, a silent struggle drowned in my apathy.
Yeah I’m still caught up on all the things I know I’ll never be.
Erase me.
Most of the time I’m invisible.
Most of the time I’m between the cracks.
Most of the time I’m wandering.
Most of the time I’m not coming back.
Most of the time I’m hopelessly lost.
Most of the time I’m between the cracks.
Most of the time you’ll find me drifting.
Most of the time I’m never coming back.
I try to catch my breath, a silent struggle drowned in my apathy.
Yeah I’m still caught up on all the things I know I’ll never be.
Erase me.
You won’t find me
Because I don’t know where I am myself. You see,
I’ve been waiting for so long and hoping that I’d see
A sign to point me in the right direction,
But where I am the signs have been torn down.
No, I won't be found.
I’m feeling fragile, cast aside these walls surrounding,
Losing touch with what's around me. I just don’t feel like myself anymore.
I can’t even sleep. Take my dreams they’re yours to keep.
Take my head and hold me down. I’m in too deep. I can’t get out.
Running in circles and falling in holes all the way to where I’m trying to go.
Most of the time that I think there’s an end, I come to find out that it’s not even close.
You can find me drifting slowly sinking beneath the sea.
I try to catch my breath, a silent struggle drowned in my apathy.
Yeah I’m still caught up on all the things I know I’ll never be.
Erase me.
Most of the time I’m invisible.
Most of the time I’m between the cracks.
Most of the time I’m wandering.
Most of the time I’m not coming back.
Most of the time I’m hopelessly lost.
Most of the time I’m between the cracks.
Most of the time you’ll find me drifting.
Most of the time I’m never coming back.

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
In my opinion this song is about trying to make yourself a better person but not being able to get there and felling invisible and alone in your journey.
I like to view this as a song of depression.
Drowned in my apathy. Apathy = lack of interest, you just don't seem to care
I saw a video of what depression really is. Once you reached the point where you feel like you are useless to the world, you show lack of interest in everything. A sign of depression.
I know I'll never be erase me. Another idea of feeling useless you just can't do anything right. Another sign of depression.
You won't find me because I don't know where I am myself you see. You just don't know who you are anymore, you try to find yourself but you just can't. Another sign of depression.
A sign to point me to the right direction. He needs someone to help him because he is lost.
Where I am the signs have been torn down. Where he is, lives? No one cares about him or they think he is acting silly.
Can't even sleep. You are constantly so depressed that you actually can't sleep, a sign of depression. Look it up.
Most of the time. I'm not coming back. Never coming back. THIS PART IS THE PART I THINK HE IS EITHER CONTEMPLATING WHETHER TO SUICIDE or RUN AWAY FROM ALL HIS PROBLEMS.
Honestly, I've been depressed once. I've been through what I mentioned above, but never have I ever wanted to kill myself. But rather run away. But somehow things started getting better.
