The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
i sit and hear you sleep
i dont want to go
your there beside me
but your so far away
i talk to you
while your asleep
you cant hear a word
you can hear everything
tears are feelings we cant say
tears mean that you care
tears are mixed emotions
tears are more than tears
the pooring rain
from my eyes
means to much
to keep inside
i sit and watch you leave
my life forever
i know youll be gone so long
my last words are nothing
and i tell you i care
and nothing more
i cant say how i feel
so i cry
tears are feelings we cant say
tears mean that you care
tears are mixed emotions
tears are more than tears
its the light
behind the shadow
that sacred face
behind the mask
i dont want to go
your there beside me
but your so far away
i talk to you
while your asleep
you cant hear a word
you can hear everything
tears are feelings we cant say
tears mean that you care
tears are mixed emotions
tears are more than tears
the pooring rain
from my eyes
means to much
to keep inside
i sit and watch you leave
my life forever
i know youll be gone so long
my last words are nothing
and i tell you i care
and nothing more
i cant say how i feel
so i cry
tears are feelings we cant say
tears mean that you care
tears are mixed emotions
tears are more than tears
its the light
behind the shadow
that sacred face
behind the mask

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.

late - e
this song means a lot to me....explains tears perfectly
this song really helped me when i broke up with my gerlfriend...she was a total bitch ...who i still cant get over ...can someone out there help me??
Tears roll down my face when I see you kiss her.
omigosh! this is one of the best Rufio songs! its shows how words have their limitations and how sometimes the only way to really express what you feel is to cry! my favorite line is "Tears are feelings we can't say" b/c that is like so true! when me and my bf broke up we both cried b/c we both didnt know what to say
This song means so much to me, they tell it like it is. No words can express how you feel when someone you care about isn;t in your life anymore, but tears can. In the song it say "the pooring rain from my eyes, it means to much to keep inside"is my favorite line. i think that line pertically means when you feel like you need to cry dont keep it in, because whatever you are crying about means a lot to you and you need to express it somehow.
This song deffinatly rocks! Tears r more than tears is def. right. There like.. how you feel n your emotions cant be put into any kid of phrase so they rain from your eyes! all the hurt, trouble, and confusion find its ways out of your eyes n not your mouth...
Amanda....
