we drove through the night,
listening to pavement on the stereo,
and wondering to ourselves,
"will we see the sun rise,
before the drugs wear off?"

cross so many borders
that cease to exist at least for now
and at this hour,
all fears and reservations
escape through open windows,
to the southern skies.

and we're getting good
at passing out in motion,
or on strangers floors,
and our wandering hearts,
numb our blistered fingers and our burning throats

tomorrow is the same,
its just another repeat of today,
the smile and the wave,
can we stay above the surface,
without feeling blase?

can we climb that stage again?
to entertain the ghosts, maybe ourselves
and then pass out
our blood has mixed,
and we are one,
and we will get through this.

and we're getting good
at passing out in motion,
or on strangers floors,
and our wandering hearts,
numb our blistered fingers and our burning throats

our blood has mixed,
and we are one,
will we get through this

our blood has mixed,
and we are one,
will we get through this

and we're getting good
at passing out in motion,
or on strangers floors,
and our wandering hearts,
numb our blistered fingers and our burning throats

    I like this song. You can feel the companionship that the band had through their first tour. This song makes me reminesce about my highschool friendships before I went to college.

    I'm pretty sure it's "blasé", and not "glossy".

    Great song...I didn't really like this album, but enjoyed this song.

    Correct lyrics:

    We drove through the night, listening to pavement on the stereo, and wondering to ourselves, will we see the sunrise, before the drugs wear off?

    Crossed so many borders that cease to exist at least for now, and at this hour, all fears and reservations speed through open windows, to the southern skies.

    Chorus And we're getting good at passing out in motion, or our strangers floors. And our wandering hearts, numb our blistered fingers and our burning throats.

    Tomorrow is the same, it's just another repeat of today, the smile and the wave. Can we stay above the surface, without feeling blase'?

    Can we climb that stage again to entertain the ghosts and maybe ourselves and then pass out. Our blood has mixed, and we are one, and we will get through this.

    Chorus

    Our blood has mixed, And we are one, And we will we get through this. [x2]

    This song is clearly about getting hopped up, making bad decisions and having all kinds of sex.

    this song, plus 'fairweather friend' on the 'remember right now' cd sound like someone else singing(my guess is the bassist). does anyone know anything about that?

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
