their hands fill with coins, they run to make it cash, and leave the town, but the buildings form, they're so large, you must get on out. before there was crime, we could lie, now we haul ass off the bridge to hide, and down to the water, swim to the house. they are covering the corners and the reason, their search, it died. we are at home, in the living room warm and dry.

but i can take it now, the erroneous and loud, all the beer and the oxygen, open up, look out, and breath it in, i want to be forewarned next time it's cut from the history books, and given no second looks, it's true things they follow form, i will not be around that long, i want to be left alone next time.

tastes change, hey look what's changing, look what's passed around, fake embrace it once, if it's good, spit me out, now you've covered all the corners and your richness blurs the light, we're here at home, in the living room getting high.

i'm a baby now, need to be rescued every hour, with all of you here i know what's formed, move into that ship i'm on, i want to be left onboard when you drown. but it's covered up and pissed away, you rewrote it everyday, now i really know what's gone, at the movies all the ends are long, i want to be forewarned next time.

regroup, just take a hard look and get out. that's the surefire moment, you knew it, and you sit on down. you can't look down the road if you get behind. we are at home in the living room warm and dry.

i keep on passing out, let me be awake as i'm carried out, through all the beer and the oxygen, open up and breath me in, i want to be left alone next time it's cut from the history books, and given no second looks. and it's true things they follow form, i will not be waiting long. i want to be down the road you're on when you say it's time, move ever upward 'til there's no going back in time.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
