Bullet Proof

Alabama 3

Lively, lively, lively, lively, lively
Let this world survive, survive me
Been there for long time
Ya, I'm headin' back
Love my life thats why I'm livin' like that
Know how to move
Know when to stay
Know how to get shit out of my way
What is my message?
Well that will be law
Comin to you from above
World

I got fifteen felonies
I got twenty three misdemeanors
I got APB's from Anchorage all the way down to cleveland
A million dollar reward
They want me alive or dead
They gonna put three in my body
Gonna put three in my head

Up against the wall
Snipers on the roof
Thought I was a gonner baby
I'm bullet proof yeah
Up against the wall
Snipers on the roof
Thought I was a gonner baby
I'm bullet proof, yeah

Put the searchlights on me
A hundred hound dogs on my trail
And I'll skip the state like Jesse James
Tennessee law man on my tail
The helicopters circle
Like vultures in the midday sun
I swear to God
I got the motherfuckin' government in the sights
Oh my God well, go

Up against the wall
Snipers on the roof
Thought I was a gonner baby
I'm bullet proof yeah
Up against the wall
Snipers on the roof
Thought I was a gonner baby
I'm bullet proof

Grease me, prime me, release me, survive me
Step back look at this light before it blinds me
Been there a long time won't go back
Love my life guess I'm livin like that, who
I take a vibe and I will take it much stronger
Got my life to live and I won't be here much longer
No 'morrow
Know the way that I walk is the way that I talk
Is the truth, I'm bullet proof

I got fifteen felonies
I got twenty three misdemeanors
I got APB's from Anchorage all the way down to cleveland
They got me
Up against the wall
Snipers on the roof
Thought I was a gonner baby
I'm bullet proof yeah
Up against the wall
Snipers on the roof
Thought I was a gonner baby
I'm bullet proof, yeah

They got me up against the wall, yeah
Up against the wall
Up against the wall
You mutha fucka get
Up against the wall

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
