Take me there to the west
For I've been waiting to see you

Girl looks so sad.
Hair slicked back with raindrops from her walk outside
It's good to be sad, sometimes.
No need to hide your doe eyes.

Light from the air.
Red as the rose wrapped 'round her feet.
Yellow flower cup reflects on her chin.
Some would pay to know why.

Take me there to the west
For I've been waiting to see you

I'd, I'd move
I'd, I'd move today
I'd, I'd move
I'd move today (away)

Can't see for sure.
Buckets of blood fall from her eyes.
Tears burn right through the floor.
No one knows why, or understands how she can cry in this way.
The Episun must have take'd one of her eyes.
The Episun must have take'd one of her eyes.
The Episun must have take'd one of her eyes.
The Episun must have take'd one of her eyes.

    i can relate... if i didnt know better id say this song was about me.

    my one love, is a six hour drive to the east,

    never being able to see him, enduring lapses in time of not hearing from him, dreading those bittersweet dreams, avoiding sleep, just to avoid waking up alone.

    this song hits me so hard.

    regardless, i love you lyndon.

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
