body on the floor
floating up in silence
piece that passed me by
so undead
your face was glowing
your gone
the saints said pass me by
your gone
angels crashing down
falling all around me
broken wings lay low
surround me so when we ???
i don't want to see this
i don't want to feel this way
your face was glowing
your gone
the saint said pass me by
your gone
angels crashing down
falling all around me
broken wings lay low
surround me so when we ???
i don't want to see this
i don't want to feel this way
i'm not afraid
down and down we ???
lost in all these sightings
thats what held your frame
they lifted fragile fingers
your also left to help
they lifted fragile fingers
your also left to help

    this is an awesome song, and the beautiful mistake is a great band name. also: "broken wings lay low so when we ???" should be broken wings laid low surround me. im not entirely sure about the down and down part, but it sounds like time and time again.

    This song is the greatest song because i was listening to it trying to find out what it means, then after about a week, a good friend died and i had to read the 23rd psalm at his funeral. Then on the way home i was listening to it and it all fell into place, seeing as how the funeral really felt like a "celebration of life" instead of just being a fancy cliche on the programs we recieved as coming into the door. Seeing as how the "sub-title" to this song is 'The 23rd', i figured that just made sense....

    this song is so good. to me it seems like in the beginning it is a little more intense and blunt regarding the lyrics, i think this is because it is hard to concieve death at first. then towards the end i feel like it is more of a realization. i dont know, just thinking out loud....awesome song

    I dont think that he says anything after surround me. And he says "you were not afraid, dad and I were scared." This is such an awesome song.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
