This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Why can't you finish what you've started?
Why can't you try and understand?
It doesn't make a bit of difference if you start what you can't finish
Every story needs an ending, after all.
I think I've known it for a long time
Suffice to say, it's been a while
You're too afraid to face the outcome
Quite likely, you're a failure
It's a shitty thing to say, but hey man - the clock is ticking
I thought of all the things I'd like to say
Cramped up and couldn't write a word all day
I just waited for my world to fall apart
That's why I'll never finish anything I start
What fills the magic in the meantime?
I know it?s hard without a vice,
You need to find a new solution,
Adaptation or retribution,
If you truly do believe in something,
Somehow it all works out.
I thought of all the things I'd like to say
Cramped up and couldn't write a word all day
I just waited for my world to fall apart
That's why I'll never finish anything I start
I'm completely bored
With every single word
And nothing ever works
And this juvenile search
Is systematically revealing to me
That I need a new approach
I thought of all the things I'd like to say
Cramped up and couldn't write a word all day
I just waited for my world to fall apart
That's why I'll never finish anything I start
So sick of all the things I'm trying to say
Cramped up and couldn't write a word all day
I just waited for my world to fall apart
That's why I'll never finish anything I...

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
god i feel like this so mauch of the time
you think your doing good, you turn over that new leaf but you can never finish what you started just the way you planned
THIS!
My interpretation of this song (rightly or wrongly) is that it is to do with relationships. I'm probably wrong but it works very well if you apply it to a relationship that's drifting in the wind. I love this bit:
"I think I've known it for a long time Suffice to say, it's been a while You're too afraid to face the outcome; Quite likely you're a failure It's a shitty thing to say, But hey man, the clock is ticking"
It makes me reflect on my own relationship. I've known for a long time it's not working, but I'm too afraid to face the outcome, too afraid to end the story. It certainly is a shitty thing to say but the clock is ticking and I'm wasting my life in the meantime.
Brilliant song though, as is the whole album. I hope My Dinosaur Life is as good, but from the sounds of it it's going to be heavier.
"advice" sounds like it could be "a vice" i could be wrong though
also in a websode.
"If you truly do believe in something, Somehow it all works out"
For the life of me, I can't figure out if MCS is being uncharacteristically optimistic or ironic. Any ideas?

the chorus kinda reminds me of like the songwriting process. having like writers block, or not being able to concentrate on one thing for too long.
Well, I think this song is about the songwriting process and feeling like you have nothing to say/can't say anything now that you're clean.
It also kinda reminds me of the Coen brothers movie "Barton Fink" with the whole "self-destructive artist" who drinks when he can't write. Sadly, I think I kind of idolize that.
I also think that he's coming to terms with the fact that without a vice (drugs or alcohol) the creative process is going to be harder because he's not just having words coming out of him that just flow and work.
Long story short: it's hard to write something because of ridiculous amounts of self-doubt/loathing.
Such an awesome ending. Could not have been more clever.
i honestly don't know what this song could mean. you could put so much into it, but this is my favorite song ever. i just love it.
this song is great its been stuck in my head for like three days now.
