it's the feel of the water as you're breathing it in
you're food for the fish so you will live again
it's the weight in your lungs when you're getting high
you'd spit it out but you'd really like to see the other side
it's the taste of her sweat when she was pulling you in
like the mouth full of ocean that you're drowning in
and your bones, and your brains, and your skin
are not as much yours as you thought they were

it's the ringing in your ears when you were feverish and sick
that's the sound of the other side so you better get used to it
it's the things that you see out of the corner of your eye
everyone will tell you that it's nothing cause they've all gone blind
it's the feeling that you're falling when you first go to sleep
like your soul's trying to separate but it can't quite break free
and your bones, and your brains, and your skin
are not as much yours, as you thought they were

you can't come back again, back again
you can't come back again

it's your life flashing before you when you realize what you had
in retrospect it's beautiful but it's too late to go back
it's the light in the tunnel sucking you through
it's the deep regret of the things you never got to do
it's your last breath, your last luck, the end of the show
it's the spark in your eye when you finally let go
and your bones, and your brains, and your skin
are not at much yours as you thought they were

you can't come back again, back again
you can't come back again, back again
please don't let me go under again, under again
please don't let me go under again, under again

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
