I wandered in on my own that day.
Now I'm exhausted from that miracle, Oh Yeah.
Excitment chills my veins. Go through this all for who?
I'd do it all again. And not think twice about going back
to where I thought was home. Don't find me on the other
side again, don't find me on the other side.
There's still hope in one.

Life as we once knew it is dead
Pick up the pieces, saying goodbye
Has never been so hard

Faces plastered with joyful gleam.
A look that speaks for itself I'm sure.
Say what you will but I'm ok.
I will require this explanation to kill my spirit and sting my pride.
So full of things to say my lips are sealed, what gives.
There's still hope in one.

Life as we once knew it is dead
Pick up the pieces, saying goodbye
Has never been so hard

    Here's what i think it means

    "I wandered in on my own that day. Now I'm exhausted from that miracle, oh yeah!" -He's had a bad life and he's not thankful for it

    "And not think twice about going back to where I thought was home" -He thought his life was perfect but he was just always wrong

    "Don't find me on the other side again, don't find me on the other side" -He's going to be a good person not bad anymore

    "There's still hope in one" -We still hope for God

    "Life as we once knew it is dead Pick up the pieces, saying goodbye Has never been so hard" -The greatest things in his life are gone, He tried to bring it back but it's too late, Trying to say goodbye hurts him the most.

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
