its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Save all your prayers
I think we're lost today
There's no morning after
No one's around to blame
I'm not afraid to bleed
But I won't do it for you
We'll start among hypocrites
The melody of our time
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Await for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
What decides when you've lost the war?
When the first man falls
Or when they erase it all?
We're too numb to feel
The downfall starts right here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed by life's tear
In times of make believe
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
'Cause I will die too
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke
Winter will come twice?
Save all your prayers
I think we're lost today
There's no morning after
No one's around to blame
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
I think we're lost today
There's no morning after
No one's around to blame
I'm not afraid to bleed
But I won't do it for you
We'll start among hypocrites
The melody of our time
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Await for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
What decides when you've lost the war?
When the first man falls
Or when they erase it all?
We're too numb to feel
The downfall starts right here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed by life's tear
In times of make believe
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
'Cause I will die too
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke
Winter will come twice?
Save all your prayers
I think we're lost today
There's no morning after
No one's around to blame
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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
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."
i think its more around the line "We stand among hypocrites"
