I wind you up
Then I wait for the melancholy
I give you up
While you sit here in all your glory
I never thought you would
I never knew you could
But now you're gone
And I don't think I care
I sold your love

Down the river for a bow and arrow
Euphoria has just been here
And she's looking terrible
I never sung this low
It's better if you go
I know you're mine
I sit here and want you to try
To love me like a monster
One last time
Control me like a father

One last time, stay with
Me till I'm stronger, one last
Bound to kick me when I'm down
Don't kick me when I'm down
I never thought you would
I never understood
And that's why I'm weak and I want
You to try to make me an
Example one last time

To drag me through the cycle
One last time to make
Me a disciple, one last
Round, will get me to the ground
You'll get me on the ground, oh yeah
I'll see you around
Yeah, I'll see you around
One last time
And I'll see you around
Yeah, I'll see you around
Na na na na na na na

    Definitely sounds like a rough relationship, in which the singer wants it to work out, regardless of the pain and hurt that occurs. In fact, she kind of sounds like she wants to change, as if that will make things better, even if it means changing what she stands for...

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
