This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Now I'm running out of reasons
And I spoke too soon
The clock weighs on the counter top
And everything is sinking through the floor
You hold the door
And I?ll pressure the hinges
Would you trust these locks?
And sleep to hide your secrets?
Dodging bullets is easier
When you don't believe in fate
And I swear, yes I swear
That we won't make it obvious
When we turn around again
What are you afraid of?
Are you scared you're not alone?
You keep running out
Turn around again
You aspire to be helpless, hopeless
Burning all your dreams
I'm running low on secrets
That will quench your thirsty ears
And I count the seconds
Between distraction and the moment
Fifteen seconds till melt down
Fifteen seconds till the roof will hit the floor
So I see the light in the stairway
And the room is littered with maps and hotel keys
So we turn around again
What are you afraid of?
Are you scared you're not alone?
You keep running out
Turn around again
You aspire to be helpless, hopeless
Burning all, burning all your dreams
Your dreams, your dreams, your dreams
Wear the robe of the pig skin
And he?ll wear the crown
Wear the robe of the pig skin
And he?ll wear the crown
He?ll run and he?ll run
And he?ll run till you stop him
What are you afraid of?
Why are you so afraid?
Turn around again
I see your eyes changing
And your passion?s gone again
You're still running out
Turn around again
We desire to be comforted
In this broken world you're in
Fifteen seconds till
Fifteen seconds till
And I spoke too soon
The clock weighs on the counter top
And everything is sinking through the floor
You hold the door
And I?ll pressure the hinges
Would you trust these locks?
And sleep to hide your secrets?
Dodging bullets is easier
When you don't believe in fate
And I swear, yes I swear
That we won't make it obvious
When we turn around again
What are you afraid of?
Are you scared you're not alone?
You keep running out
Turn around again
You aspire to be helpless, hopeless
Burning all your dreams
I'm running low on secrets
That will quench your thirsty ears
And I count the seconds
Between distraction and the moment
Fifteen seconds till melt down
Fifteen seconds till the roof will hit the floor
So I see the light in the stairway
And the room is littered with maps and hotel keys
So we turn around again
What are you afraid of?
Are you scared you're not alone?
You keep running out
Turn around again
You aspire to be helpless, hopeless
Burning all, burning all your dreams
Your dreams, your dreams, your dreams
Wear the robe of the pig skin
And he?ll wear the crown
Wear the robe of the pig skin
And he?ll wear the crown
He?ll run and he?ll run
And he?ll run till you stop him
What are you afraid of?
Why are you so afraid?
Turn around again
I see your eyes changing
And your passion?s gone again
You're still running out
Turn around again
We desire to be comforted
In this broken world you're in
Fifteen seconds till
Fifteen seconds till

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
one of my favorites. Love the breakdown
I'm not sure on what most of the lyrics in the song mean...but the song as a whole to me seems to be about giving in to sin and completely changing back to this worldly person who gives into temptation and doesn't feel the same about God.
This is why I thought of this...
"I see your eyes changing and your passion’s gone again. You’re still running out. Turn around again. We desire to be comfort in this broken world you’re in."
The passion for God is lost when you give into sin. Running away from him...the last line is obvious.
"Wear the robe of pig skin and he’ll wear the crown. He’ll run and he’ll run and he’ll run till you stop him."
If you wear the pig skin, Satan will wear the crown. (Pig being a dirty animal, sinful)
I'm not sure but this is what I think.
I believe it could also involve the non believer. YOu know, they turn around when they hear God's calling. This is also reminiscent(?) of "Fire To My Soul" by Demon Hunter.
Yeah...I can see that aswell
every time i hear the breakdown i run around and break stuff, this is one of my favorite breakdowns
well then sevenfold i would hate to be your parents and just how many times have you listened to this breakdown exactly? and why is it these days that kids only listen to the music with breakdowns?
For me hardcore music is not epitomized by memorable choruses, rather a great breakdown is what I look for. Haste the Day's breakdowns do not stand out as much in relation to the rest of the parts of the songs (verse, chorus, solo, etc.) due to there being catchy melodic choruses, whereas if you look at a band like Parkway Drive who does not use melodic choruses one can easily see why loving breakdowns is necessary to properly appreciate hardcore music. I am insulted that you think I only listen to music with breakdowns, because that would be very close-minded of me. I also only break repairable things.
Christ the King's interpretation was definitely close if not completely correct. I think he had it.
I�m running low on secrets that will quench your thirsty ears.
Running low on things to say to the non believer that will bring him to Christ.
Dodging bullets is easier when you don�t believe in fate.
It's easier to avoid conversion when you don't believe in a firm relationship with God or a path to Heaven.
You hold the door and I�ll pressure the hinges.
In order to convert, the non believer must lead himself into it with the help of the converter.
