This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
"May I remind you agian, this is a dream, and in dreams, you can do anything you darn please!"
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
[x2]
Time is running, it's running on empty
And the gas is running out
I've decided tonight is the night
That I let love aside
Full speed ahead this seems to be the place
I've seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my dreams
Hoping this would take you home
If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. (I could be your servant)
If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. (If I could be your servant) [My knuckles have turned to white]
If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. (I could be your servant) [There's no turning back tonight kiss me on last time]
You watched me like a 10-car highway wreck with detached, vulgar curiosity
As looking down on the tops of the hats of us passersby from your seventh floor balcony
And from such a height you missed creatures too small for sight (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)
Carry on, over conversation as the misguided insects (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)
Crown me their grasshopper king with a dance of celebration (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your eyes
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So hold on tight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your...
I will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent here
"What the matter? Something wrong?"
"Wrong? Ooh no no... everythings just... well, odd, I don't seem... I'm not even sure who I am.."
"Well, we can certainly straighten you out on that." (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)
"Just who are?" (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)
"I'm you're better self, you're subconscious self." (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)
"My? What?"
"Your better self."
It was a matter of time,
I always said I could see but now I'm going blind. (I could be your servant) [Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep]
It was a matter of time,
I always said I could see but now Im going blind. (If I could be your servant) [Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep]
It was a matter of time,
I always said I could see but now I'm going blind. (I could be your servant)
It was a matter of miserable time but I heard somewhere,
There was a cure for useless eyes. (If I could be your servant)
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your eyes]
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So hold on tight]
Kiss me one last time
Shut your

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

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.

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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
i love this so much. it is absolutely amazing! but where are those quotes from? you know the ones referring to a subconcsious and whatnot.
