Not an innocent
I bleed my place
That settle turning smirk
That's always fixed upon my face
Walking weakness
Hope I die without a sound
I'm that little boy
With my feet nailed to the ground
I know I'm guilty
My stomach always hurts
Milking your attention
For the little it is worth
I'm turning browner every day
I'm really turning down a stay
Tired of your little van
I've been around too long
Tired of walking
Talking with me
Edging me along
Well, I detest your patience
I know you've always known
You know that I'm a thief
It's so great to be alone
Alone (That's that)

I don't care It's lie, I wound
I'm a stupid baby
Hope it breaks in two

Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus is Christ
Jesus Jesus is Christ

I don't see I don't feel
Like every little moron
I think nothing's real
I don't care It's lie, I wound darling, skip the faith
That only breaks in two

Through a dozen layers
And there's no evil here
Only this great power
We misunderstand
So please relax
Take a pain
Laugh out loud
When you forget your name
Jesus laughs
Take the pain
Laugh out loud
When you forget your name
It doesn't live
There's no evil here
These great powers
We misunderstand
Tell you about everything
Tell you about everything
(Go) (Go) (Now)

    This has always been one of my favorite dinosaur jr. songs.When I first got this album in '88 –my first ever by Dinosaur Jr.–this was the song that made me go, "Yeah, I got the right album".

    As I listened to this throughout high school, I always like listening to this over and over until I fell asleep. I was just so peaceful and relaxing. I wasn't a Christian then, but I am now, but I'm not lying: when I would hear the parts where Lou is saying "Jesus", honest to God, I would feel a peace come into my room and I would sense a presence of a benevolent light. It made me feel safe, secure and completely protected. And like Lou says,"There's no evil here". Now I know why.

    Even if Lou was stoned when he wrote this for a girlfriend, thanks Lou for writing it. I still love it 25 years later!

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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."
