get through it all and survive
in all this pain, live
in the lies
the coldest rain
drowning the soul
you can't maintain but I
think I can
I embrace the rain
and I'm free
still
free
still me

step outside to feel
the warmth of the sun
and I'm reminded of
the reason that I run
live within the confines
you'll have an ass to kiss
throw away your time
but I'm making mine
so isn't it absent minded to think
that you're the weakening link
when it's in your control

control

caught in the silence
remain
the stain is heavy once again
and at the end I look up
now I can see the otherside
which wasn't so clear before
but now I'm through the door
and I can take anything you throw at me
run free
and put the ashes away
halt me
but everything is okay
I stand by
to reveal the constant pain
to see choices and fall in
push the emptiness away

embrace the rain and I'm free
still
free
still me

or become one of the many
who walks the path without
word or thought
who perishes but never existed

I will rise
who puts death to the wind
at my back
opression
in your mind that's become
your worst enemy
can you feel the pressure

now I see
somewhere all are free
to live in peace

try to shut everyone down
face the pain I suffer through
not the last time
I maintain and I rise

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."
