I am so alike you
In so many ways
I know I'm just a copy
That carries on the stain

(But) we make the same mistakes
('Cause) we are one in the same
(But) we leave behind the stain
I cannot separate

All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?

I am your mirror image
I'm all you left behind
You made me what I am
Then who the hell am I?

(But) we make the same mistakes
('Cause) we are one in the same
(But) we leave behind the stain
I cannot separate

All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?

Why? Yo no entiendo por qué
I know that our lives are the same
Y mi vida
Just a guessing game, a dirty stain that I cannot play
But I follow your steps
In the same way that you just
Walked away and blocked the way through
I, will, not, live

Do you think of me?
Do you dream of me?
I always dream about you
Do you think of me?
Do you dream of me?
I always dream about you

All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?

    Let me do a quick, rough translation...

    "Eres parecido en todo lo que soy Sigo escondido, Perdido es lo que estoy "

    You are in everything I am I keep hiding, lost is what I am

    "No! Que no me deja ver Por! Que no me deja ser No! Eres igual que yo Espera lo peor! "

    No! It doesn't let me see Because it doesn't let me be No! Your not the same as me Waiting for the worst.

    "No puedo vivir No quiero mentir Tu eres parte de mi"

    I can not live I can not lie You are part of me.

    "No he conocido todo tu dolor Sigo mal sentido y pierdo el control "

    I haven't known your pain I'm still hurt and I lose control

    "No! Que no me deja ver Por! Que no me deja ser No! Eres igual que yo Espera lo peor "

    Same as translation above.

    "No puedo vivir No quiero mentir Tu eres parte de mi x2 "

    Same as translation above

    "Y ya no puedo ver Nacido sin querer (No te encuentro) "

    I can not see anymore Born without wanting to be (in other words being born when he didn't want to be)

    "Yo si pienso en ti Yo si sueno en ti No se si piensas de mi "

    I do think of you I do dream of you I don't know if you think of me

    There you go. I'm lazy so this was a rough translation.

    I forgot to translate

    (no te encuentro)

    which means:

    I can't find you.

    I think it's interesting to compare this version to the english one - in particular: No! Eres igual que yo (No! Your not the same as me)

    Whereas in the english it's all about being the same...

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.
