Walking down the self-destructive path
To extract some shards
Of inspiration, the frustration
You are only as strong as your weakest link
That concerns me
The infatuation is an affliction

Be careful with what you don't understand
My rogue attitude is not welcome here
You're the flame that burns me
So I know I'm still alive, I'm still alive

Don't know how to get you out of this one
We're falling, always falling
Deep in your heart sits the key to set me free
Come set me, set me free

They say the eyes are the windows to your soul
A revelation, the desperation
The imaginary voices in my head aren't imaginary
Look into my eyes and you'll see that something's wrong

Don't know how to get you out of this one
We're falling, always falling
Deep in your heart sits the key to set me free
Come set me, set me free

Be careful with what you don't understand
My rogue attitude is not welcome here
You're the flame that burns me
So I know I'm still alive

Don't know how to get you out of this one
Deep in your heart sits the key to set me free
Set me free

No one there when I turn around
I'm falling
Come uncomplicate my life
I'm falling, I'm falling, Always falling

Don't know how to get you out of this one
We're falling, always falling
Deep in your heart sits the key to set me free
Come set me, set me free

Don't know how to get you out of this one
We're falling, always falling
Deep in your heart sits the key to set me free
Come set me, set me free

No one there when I turn around

    This is definitely one of the highlights of the new album. This one is obviously an easy song to decipher. A "monotonous" relationship song, but go figure on an album titled "Love and Other Disasters" what else would you expect? But I think it goes a bit beyond it to an infatuation with someone and he follows them to the ends of the earth, trying to save them from themselves as well but in the end realizes he's the only one there in the end.

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.
