Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Gang Control (featuring Popeye & Skwert)
Bombs over New York
And sky below
Social society in aqua-glo
Meaning is void in the face of racist reasoning
Stealing back the world from the police-thieving
[Popeye]
and the gun comes down
when you look in the eyes it's flat like a doll
like a shark
living with your lies
it's gonna kill ya and eat up your soul
emerald city with a blue wall
fuck the police
they have gang control
we gotta take it back
everyone get up & lets go
around the globe it's outta hand
indonesia & japan
across the ocean, back again
england, zaire and iran
History - shrouded in mystery
Fight wars for ancestory
Cops do tha same:
Continue on the old shame
Down in the fires for a cop out for fame.
[Skwert:]
step to us and we go pow pow
next thing you know you're lying dead on the ground
there's no way you'll understand the weight of our lives
mister officer watch your back tonight
fuck the police
they have gang control
we gotta tear it down everyone let's go
from pole to pole it's outta hand
burma, kenya and thailand
in every city the laws protecting the elite
fuck the police
they have gang control
we gotta tear it down everyone let's go
individuals who hate man
with kings license to clean the land
fill the already one way laws
Original Lyrics :
Verse 1
I grew up in a third world war
with tanks out on the street
6 degrees above the equator
but not above the police heat
all around the world this shit is out of hand
making america look like la la land
Verse 2
school was interrupted when the bomb sirens sound
sometimes we wouldn't go at all
when a curfew shut the country down
the police killing insurrectors
everyone's in fear
but that was an election year
the first they'd had in 11 years
Bombs over New York
And sky below
Social society in aqua-glo
Meaning is void in the face of racist reasoning
Stealing back the world from the police-thieving
[Popeye]
and the gun comes down
when you look in the eyes it's flat like a doll
like a shark
living with your lies
it's gonna kill ya and eat up your soul
emerald city with a blue wall
fuck the police
they have gang control
we gotta take it back
everyone get up & lets go
around the globe it's outta hand
indonesia & japan
across the ocean, back again
england, zaire and iran

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Actually...everyone in here is correct... This band started out as a one man band...it being Ezra Glory from the guitarist of Leftover Crack...and singer from InDK ... when InDK broke up he got more musicians in the band and released a CD call "The Whole World Is Watching" it even says that it is their "...first official release..." on their website... mglory.org everything previous to that cd(including this song which is covered by leftover crack on their new album "fuck world trade"..with completely different lyrics) is just ezra and was recorded in C-Squat on a reel to reel recording system... oh yea Ezra does the mglory site himself...so the information is straight from his mouth...
