This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's four o' clock
The t.v.'s on
My mind is shut off
And my own thoughts are gone
I change the channel
I change my mind
I change my life
I wanna leave it all behind
Cause I don't have a mind of my own
I am influenced by
Everything I see
And I can't help it now
Everything in my life
Just thinks for me
Can't help this habit
I'm in love with my disease
Worshiping my idle time
A life I cannot seize
Trapped by depression
And I sleep all day
But Xanax, Valium, Attavan
Makes it all OK
It's so much more
Than a cry for attention
No loving hands can sooth this ache
So much more than a war with the world
It's my own degradation
It's my own self hate
I preach my pessimism
Right out loud to anyone who'll listen
I'm not afraid to be alive
I'm afraid to be alone
Late at night my monsters find me
From under the bed or out of my past
All alone with nobody to talk to
Sanity gets put to the test
I close my eyes but I'm still haunted
Sometimes I get too twisted to sleep
As all my world crumbles all around me
Inspirations become admissions of defeat
Cuz I don't have a mind of my own
Everything in my life just thinks for me
The t.v.'s on
My mind is shut off
And my own thoughts are gone
I change the channel
I change my mind
I change my life
I wanna leave it all behind
Cause I don't have a mind of my own
I am influenced by
Everything I see
And I can't help it now
Everything in my life
Just thinks for me
Can't help this habit
I'm in love with my disease
Worshiping my idle time
A life I cannot seize
Trapped by depression
And I sleep all day
But Xanax, Valium, Attavan
Makes it all OK
It's so much more
Than a cry for attention
No loving hands can sooth this ache
So much more than a war with the world
It's my own degradation
It's my own self hate
I preach my pessimism
Right out loud to anyone who'll listen
I'm not afraid to be alive
I'm afraid to be alone
Late at night my monsters find me
From under the bed or out of my past
All alone with nobody to talk to
Sanity gets put to the test
I close my eyes but I'm still haunted
Sometimes I get too twisted to sleep
As all my world crumbles all around me
Inspirations become admissions of defeat
Cuz I don't have a mind of my own
Everything in my life just thinks for me

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
Page

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.
I just love this.... "...all around me inspirations become admissions of defeat...." That is so true Strung out is by far one of my favs...
I can relate to this song. Too much.. Its freaky
I think this song is about propaganda(this song sucks too).
i got this song... thinking i would check out strung out... because im friend is obsessed... well yeah... now im obsessed with this song... i want to check out more of strung out's stuff.
I first heard this song last week when I went to see Poison the Well and I love it. I can defintely relate. i thought these guys would suck, but they actually weren't too bad.
hey i just think its a cool song. the cd its on is really good too. twisted by design. my boyfriend loves these guys, so i decided to check them out, and yeah it was worth it.
This is one their best songs.... Everytime I hear it I feel the way Jason must have felt when he was writing it. Just sitting somewhere early in the morning, alone. Just you, a cigarette and the melancholic clouds in your mind. And then you start writing. Masterful.
i think it was jim cherry who wrote this one
Uhm....Flim: propaghanda? Where do you get that? It's plain absurd what you're saying there... And Strung Out doesn't suck....your momma does (and she isn't even good at it)
i saw strung out last night, and this song was sooo good live! the crowd was going wild, the mosh was fun. i think everyone can relate to this song. i know i can.
