I am N O T H I N
I am N O T H I N
I am N O T H I N
I'm nothing

I am N O T H I N
I am N O T H I N
I am N O T H I N
I'm nothing

Are you a Republican or a Democrat?
A Liberal fascist full of crap
I'm nothing, I'm nothing
Somebody somewhere saying they're something
But everybody everywhere
Knows that I'm nothing

Politics and dirty tricks
I got no time for stones and sticks
Politics and dirty tricks
I got no time I'm chasing chicks
I'm nothing, I'm nothing
Somebody somewhere saying they're something
But everybody everywhere
I'm saying I'm I'm nothing

There's nothing high
There's nothing low
There's being, and nothingness is our flow
Are you a gay or are you straight?
Do you believe in love, or do you believe in hate?
I'm nothing, I'm nothing
Somebody somewhere saying they're something
But to everybody everywhere
I'm saying I'm nothing

I'm nothing, I'm like a cloud
I'm free to be alone in a crowd
What's your reality, it's not real to me
What's your anomaly, it is my destiny
I am N O T H I N
I am N O T H I N
I am N O T H I N
I'm nothing
I'm nothing
I'm nothing
I'm nothing now and I'm nothing free
Because being nothing, is just being me

    This song shows the apathetic side of our society.....but how in the end maybe its better that way to be none of the choices society offers.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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 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."
