This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I, I guess
The only thing cheap to you was your friends
You can always make new friends
(Oh well, oh well) But when you sell them out will they be worth as much?
I, I guess
The only thing cheap to you was your friends
You can always make new friends
(Oh well, oh well) But when you sell them out will they be worth as much?
Now this bridge is ashes
It might as well have never been built
It might as well have never been built
And the river that it crossed
Looks like an ocean now
Looks like an ocean now
Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
Love to play the victim
You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
Was it all for nothing?
Keep it on wax
You're not the only one
Who's had to make sacrifices
We all had to make sacrifices
And time won't heal shit
When you've got your hands in my pockets
When you've got your hands
Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream
It won't change a goddamn thing (It don't change)
Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream (a goddamn thing)
Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream
It won't change a goddamn thing (It don't change)
Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream (a goddamn thing)
I, I guess
The only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess
The only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess
The only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess
The only thing cheap to you is your friends
Oh, what a fucking shame
Oh, that you had to mess things up this bad
Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
Love to play the victim
You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
Was it all for nothing?
It's gone
It's gone
There's nothing left
Keep it on wax
It's gone
It's gone
There's nothing left
Keep it on wax
The only thing cheap to you was your friends
You can always make new friends
(Oh well, oh well) But when you sell them out will they be worth as much?

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
Few corrections here...
But it's not always worth as much should be But you seldom know if they'll be worth as much (or something to that extent)
Your caution to the end should be Your caution to the wind
Amazing song, love Wade in this song.
So fucking sweet. It's a different type of Alexis. Incredible.
So fucking sweet. It's a different type of Alexis. Incredible.
Im not sure what this means ..anyone know?
in my honest opinon, this song to me means cutting off connections with friends, hence the verse
Now this bridge is ashes It might as well have never been built It might as well have never been built Little river that it crossed Looks like an ocean now, looks like an ocean now
I can relate to this song, cause once I met my girlfriend (who is now my ex) I didn't hang around with my friends as much anymore...so I was burning bridges, so I went out and made new friends, but they wern't worth as much to me as the old ones were; which also makes sence cause of the intro of:
I, I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends You can always make new friends (oh no) But it's not always worth as much (oh no)
thats my take on the song.
shouldnt it be "THROW caution to the WIND" not "YOUR caution to the END" or "YOUR caution to the wind"
I think this song follows a theme to the record about them returning home, and being disgusted. There is a drug problem in St Catherines, ONT and I think the guys are trying to relate this to us. Some of there old friends have abandonded them, and now they are horrified.
I don't know if this is related to the song lyrics but the title comes from a saying among kids in 'da hood. Keep it on Wax means keep it on vinyl and not kill each other. And I got this from their message board and the administrator was the one who said it.
What I think it's about has been said before. It's just about friends.
I take this song is very mellowed out and taken from a less aggressive standpoint - like its sound.
Is Wade dominant on the vocals? The rawness of his voice fits nicely
I believe Wade is singing this song rather than Dallas. I like it a lot.
