This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Quiet
It's 4 AM
I was
Sound asleep
Trying
To hunt the sheep
There is a choice
Within a voice
Lurking somewhere between
Hidden parts
And facial scars
And remnants of the deepest needs
I am convinced
In sleeplessness
That we need some source of rest
Following
With frequency
Won't become a place to lay our heads
I've searched
And tried
And tumbled in the midst
I've swallowed pride
And nullified
What's left of innocence
Reparations
Won't be made
We'll set a precedent
Never to late
To recreate
So here's your evidence
Am I getting through?
Is this loud enough?
Any means
It's 4 AM
I was
Sound asleep
Trying
To hunt the sheep
There is a choice
Within a voice
Lurking somewhere between
Hidden parts
And facial scars
And remnants of the deepest needs
I am convinced
In sleeplessness
That we need some source of rest
Following
With frequency
Won't become a place to lay our heads
I've searched
And tried
And tumbled in the midst
I've swallowed pride
And nullified
What's left of innocence
Reparations
Won't be made
We'll set a precedent
Never to late
To recreate
So here's your evidence
Am I getting through?
Is this loud enough?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

Magical

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.
For the longest time I’ve been trying to figure out what this song was talking about and what I was understanding was exactly what barrel.of.monkeys said. But there were too many lines that weren’t sitting right with me, mainly those in the second verse. So I started looking more closely at the lyrics, and I realized something: this song is not so much the person who has searched and found rest as I had originally thought, but rather it’s about the person who is resisting and avoiding changing. It’s like Andrew is having a conversation with a man who is refusing to admit he’s not strong enough by on his own; he’s telling the man, “You’re playing with fire and you don’t realize you’re burning yourself.”
Andrew starts by explaining that there is something deep inside us - the things we keep hidden within (most likely the negative things), the wounds we’ve suffered in past experiences, and our deepest needs and desires - requires us to make a choice. We are not at rest but we can be (rest here is referring not to physical rest and sleep but to mental, spiritual, and emotional sleeplessness and rest). Repeating the way we’ve always done things is not enough to bring us the rest we need.
In the chorus, Andrew says he’s sought after this rest, but has failed His pride has gotten in the way, and he’s destroyed his innocence. He continues, saying that there won’t be any making of amends here; what’s done is done. But instead let his failure serve as an example or warning to you because it’s never too late to start over. Andrew says if you don’t believe him, this is your evidence, the sleeplessness that he still finds himself in.
In the second verse, he gets up front and personal with the listener. “Do you get the point? Are you hearing what I’m saying?” This isn’t a time for messing around. You have take a step first, because you can’t just feel this way. You have to do something about it first - this feeling follows action. So here’s your choice — either you can say find an excuse, saying that because Andrew has failed in the past, you don’t have to listen to him and instead just ignore his warning… Or you can realize that anyone by their own strength is worthless and incapable. Everyone fails and so will you, if you do it without God.
Andrew ends with this: the hand, the furnace, the straight face. In other words, “you’re playing with fire, and you don’t realize that if you continue you’re going to get burned” (It may also mean something along the lines of “stick your hand in/on the furnace, and try to keep a straight face…tell me it doesn’t hurt, cause I know you can’t do that").
