Here inside the door I trickle out
I melt into nothingness in puddles all around
and when it's through, I mold again
I reform to what I was and come back whole again
Then the world comes flooding back in glowing warm with subtle embers
The body drags to find the footing in an ill attempt that soon relapes in full

But we will carry on again
Lifting to the calling of the, grace me,
We will carry on again
lifting to the calling of the road

Faltering grasping at the idle hands we hold
Faltering, faltering grasping at the idle hands go back and forth,
Until we relay.

And we will carry on again,
lifting to the calling of the, grace me
we will carry on again
No ones ever ment to go alone

Finding fingers as they offer the hands
To help me stand
To lift me from emptiness
The best they can.
Sun flickers in over the world
It says that we never end
We will go on and on and on and on and on

Calling out over empty air
Now that I found a place I can land.
I will hold the flame that they gave me,
it will never blow out again.
I will go on.

Spill me out into the world again
Like water in a brimming bowl
I'll flood out and sink into the ground again
Rooting out like wire I will grow here
standing straight always knowing I will never feel that way again
and from my stance now I can move the earth

Sail on quick. Fly past the world. Find me a love.

    I got the chance to chat with these guys, and they described this song as a dark time in their lives where they needed the help of loved ones to guide them to a happy life again. I love this song and its meaning is very deep.

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
