Here we are
isn't life bizarre?
And life takes from us
and throws it out
we'll carry on
what's done is done
yeah we'll do without it somehow

The world is gone
don't think about it
'cause life is short
we'll do without it
see the road is long
don't think about it
cause life is short
we'll do without it

Oh We can move on from here
Don't worry
The best we've known is yet to come
We can move on from here
Don't worry
The worst won't get the best of us

Some memories are crippling
Don't let the disease bring us down
There's nothing else to know
Just let it go
Yeah we'll do without it somehow

The world is gone
Don't think about it
Cause life is short
We'll do without it

Yeah

don't you worry
Though the world is gone
We'll carry on
We'll do without it, we'll do without it
Oh

    I assume that Mute Math being from New Orleans this about losing everything in Katrina, and I assume that it's from the singer to his wife saying the world isn't needed. It's a moving song, one of my favorite from Mute Math, when I first heard it played it on repeat at least twenty times.

    ... sometimes, things are meant to analze, but to image and understand. I'll leave this for everyone to think about.

    the chorus goes "We can move on forward, don't worry."

    I love that though. Don't let the worst of times get the best of you, because the best of times is yet to come!

    I love this song sooo much! What I got out of it is that life will always take "every ounce" from us, but "we can move on" forward. "The best we've known is yet to come" because, some of us, when we die we'll be in heaven with our Lord with no more worries and no more pain. So, yeah. That's what I got out of it :)

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."

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
