This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Last call, lights on
Pull your faces off the bar
Go to church 'cause you need a good cleansing
Of body, mind and soul
I never thought it possible
I think I fell in love with someone worse than me
And I love you to death
I don't think I like you anymore
The healing power of alcohol
Only works on scrapes and nicks
And not on girls in seedy bars
Who drown themselves in it
They say that scent is the strongest sense
It's tied to memories
The stench of this place is almost as bad
As the memory tied to it
Tried to forget that sickening stench
With everything I've got
You can't trust a heart that was cold from the start
You waste your time on it
The healing power of alcohol
Only works on scrapes and nicks
And not on girls in seedy bars
Who drown themselves in it
You could play all day
And tell your friends that everything's alright
The truth is that your heart collapsed
Two years ago tonight
Should thank your lucky stars
For all the times you've been ashamed
You'll learn more from the harder times
Than times that you've been vain
The lesson you learned is priceless
If you can take a spin
You threw away your friends
As if drinks were all the friends you need
The healing power of alcohol
Only works on scrapes and nicks
And not on girls in seedy bars
Who drown themselves in it
You could play all day
And tell your friends that everything's alright
The truth is that your heart collapsed
Two years ago tonight
The truth is that your heart collapsed
Two years ago tonight
Pull your faces off the bar
Go to church 'cause you need a good cleansing
Of body, mind and soul
I never thought it possible
I think I fell in love with someone worse than me
And I love you to death
I don't think I like you anymore
The healing power of alcohol
Only works on scrapes and nicks
And not on girls in seedy bars
Who drown themselves in it
They say that scent is the strongest sense
It's tied to memories
The stench of this place is almost as bad
As the memory tied to it
Tried to forget that sickening stench
With everything I've got
You can't trust a heart that was cold from the start
You waste your time on it
The healing power of alcohol
Only works on scrapes and nicks
And not on girls in seedy bars
Who drown themselves in it
You could play all day
And tell your friends that everything's alright
The truth is that your heart collapsed
Two years ago tonight
Should thank your lucky stars
For all the times you've been ashamed
You'll learn more from the harder times
Than times that you've been vain
The lesson you learned is priceless
If you can take a spin
You threw away your friends
As if drinks were all the friends you need
The healing power of alcohol
Only works on scrapes and nicks
And not on girls in seedy bars
Who drown themselves in it
You could play all day
And tell your friends that everything's alright
The truth is that your heart collapsed
Two years ago tonight
The truth is that your heart collapsed
Two years ago tonight

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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
the lyrics here are fairly accurate besides a ton of typos, which are slightly annoying. i think the cd cover-ish thing is a bit off... [from wat i can tell from other sites]
i think that the song is about falling in love with someone [i never thought it was possible, but i think i fell in love with someone worse than me] who is still troubled by something that happened two years ago, maybe a bad breakup or death [the truth is that your heart collapsed two years ago tonight] and on the anniversary she drinks herself into oblivion trying to make the memory go away [they say scent is the strongest sense...]. he's trying to tell her that alcohol isnt going to solve her problems [the healing power of alcohol...] and that the hard times in her life will eventually teach her valuble lessons, [you should thank your lucky stars for all the times you've been ashamed...] and she should stop trying to wish those times away, no matter how much it hurts.
i dont think its simply expressing disgust for ppl who get drunk and make fools of themselves, altho i do agree with the statement that its sickening...
love the song!
