This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It couldn't be more far from the truth
If you could do to me the things you would do
And I know you're on to me
I'm watching you wanting me
You hung down the rebels and punish them wrongfully
You came with fire and weapons to kill
A warrior poet once said
You're not dead yet so live like you could be
A warrior poet said
Have no regrets when you're old
Have no regrets when you're old
I'm not looking for you to be anything
But my ultimate enemy
So back off, you're not what I would prefer to see
When my body rots I still won't give you the courtesy
You came with fire for the last time
A warrior poet once said
You're not dead yet so live like you could be
A warrior poet said
Have no regrets when you're old
Have no regrets when you're old
When your body wants to run
But your heart knows you're better than that
The blood you spilled on battlefields
I promise you will not go unspent
Neither will I leave you stranded
The promise rings as our battle cry
You're never alone regardless of doubt
But faith comes so easy to some
Better luck next time, better luck next time
Watch as the teargas burns my eyes
It burns my eyes
A warrior poet once said
You're not dead yet so live like you could be
A warrior poet said
Have no regrets when you're old
Have no regrets when you're
If you could do to me the things you would do
And I know you're on to me
I'm watching you wanting me
You hung down the rebels and punish them wrongfully
You came with fire and weapons to kill
A warrior poet once said
You're not dead yet so live like you could be
A warrior poet said
Have no regrets when you're old
Have no regrets when you're old
I'm not looking for you to be anything
But my ultimate enemy
So back off, you're not what I would prefer to see
When my body rots I still won't give you the courtesy
You came with fire for the last time
A warrior poet once said
You're not dead yet so live like you could be
A warrior poet said
Have no regrets when you're old
Have no regrets when you're old
When your body wants to run
But your heart knows you're better than that
The blood you spilled on battlefields
I promise you will not go unspent
Neither will I leave you stranded
The promise rings as our battle cry
You're never alone regardless of doubt
But faith comes so easy to some
Better luck next time, better luck next time
Watch as the teargas burns my eyes
It burns my eyes
A warrior poet once said
You're not dead yet so live like you could be
A warrior poet said
Have no regrets when you're old
Have no regrets when you're

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

Silent Planet
Silent Planet
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."
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
David ya thats a good thought... ok I could see that the waorrior poet being William wallece.. this is a good song who ever the poet was he knows what he is talking about.. Is he talking to saten??? Well, I think in the verse ya. But I think he is talking to us in the chours. Then he is warning saten about him self and maybe he is warning saten for us because he bleieves that we will take his advice.."live like you could be" Live your life for God and the devil will have to back off, "better luck next time"
I messaged them and asked: Is the "Warrior Poet" David? And did he say that stuff?
The reply--Matt's words: its actually william wallace of braveheart... and he did in the movie at least ;) so yeah
its about not having regrets, basically. a good way to see life
great, as usual, because the classic crime is awesome talk about dispelling apathy! i love the fieryness of the lyrics and his voice and the music and everything. you can't listen to it without feeling at least a little excited but i'm a little confused--who is he addressing? satan, maybe? that's the vibe i'm getting
I like the screaming at the end of the song it rocks these guys are a great Punk hardcore band
oh wow I just watched Braveheart... and as soon as it ended I thought of this song. it could be david too. these lyrics are very motivating, especially for someone going to a military academy
It sounds pretty war-based It sounds a lot like he's talking about war or fighting but that's probably just a metaphor. He probably is saying, maybe to Satan, that he's not going to follow his ways and he's going to fight for what is right, no matter what the cost.
The enemy probably is Satan by extension, but I think it's a little more complicated than that. The entire Albatross album is amazing, almost entirely war-based. The idea that this life is a fight, and we have what is worth fighting for. But I think it's also talking about the world around us. How they "hunt down the rebels and punish them wrongfully." This world doesn't want non-conformists and will do anything to make them succumb to its powers. The only really unclear line for me is "you're never alone regardless of doubt, but faith comes so easy to some. Better luck next time." I think it means that not everyone can see that the faith is worth fighting for, and that no one is really ever alone. Maybe he's talking to himself when he says "better luck next time." as he's being blinded by the war. "Watch as the tear gas burns my eyes." That is an amazing part of the song.
I just saw this posted somewhere, and I thought it was weird how well it related to this song:
"I don't deny that there should be priests to remind men that they will one day die. I only say it is necessary to have another kind of priests, called poets, to remind men that they are not dead yet." –G.K. Chesterton
"warrior poet" is about having complete responsibility for your own existence, achieving the balance between and being able to maximize the mind, body, and spirit.
