I'm watching the mountains
I'm watching the sea
Observing the creatures
I am lost - set me free!
Across the heavens I made my way
I've seen empires rise and blown away
I have arrived my destiny
But after all there's just emptiness in me
Out in the darkness - I am going mad
Where are the others - there's silence in my head
'Cause I'm a watcher in the sky
I've seen universes die
Out in the cold my systems overload
I'm here and lost in time
Watcher in the sky - sky
I am trapped in this nightmare
Endless tortures and pain
Millenniums have gone by
Uhhh, it drives me insane!
Who am I now?
I'm not a man - I'm not machine
I gave my life for it for the Iron Savior dream
'Cause I'm a watcher in the sky...
Hooked - hooked to the circuits
Of a lifeless, cold machine
Lost in a world of artificial means
Ripped - ripped out of my body
I'll stand the test of time
Am I perpetual - Am I devine?
I'm the watcher in the sky
My soul has drowned
In the tears I cannot cry
I'm the watcher the chosen one
But I am lost in time
I'm the watcher in the sky
I've seen the years gone by
I am the chosen one
Out in the cold my systems overload
I'm here and lost in time
Watcher in the sky - sky
Watching the mountains
Watching the sea
Watching the creatures
You'll never be free
Watcher in the sky - sky

    (Pretty much?) all their songs are about the Iron Savior in one way or another. This is my favorite from them so far, having only heard the debut album - again so far. It's not all machine, though, it appears to have a human brain ("Ripped - ripped out of my body") which is talked about in an earlier song on the album... which would explain why it feels sadness and loneliness.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
