This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
God knows you're on my mind
I can try to tell him otherwise
God knows it's only time
Before I break the chain in my eyes
Fear keeps you hiding at night
and the creatures play ball outside
Chances are slim we are right
But I'd never think it any otherwise
So we'll find the answers in time
and the bodies pile up sky high
and I'll sail this ship towards the sky
but I'll end all alone on the other side
and if you could pull that rope just a little higher
we could dangle alone like a firefly
so Jimmy I've heard the voice of God
and he whispered fear is logical
and he said it's magic, wonderful
and he swears to him it's wonderful
and the lake you speak of, magical
so I skip stones on it, practical
and I make sure that we're both wonderful
you're a brother and that's alright
you're a brother and that's alright
you're a brother and that's alright
we're brothers it makes it right
cuz his blood is so red in spite
of the way that our sharp teeth bite
oh the way that our sharp teeth bite
in each other during the night
with the creatures that play outside
we're the creatures that play outside
cuz jimmy I've heard the voice of God
and he whispered fear is logical
and the words that we heard aren't repeatable
with the thought that could kill comprehendable
and we're brothers and that's alright [x3]
yeah, we're brothers until we die
I can try to tell him otherwise
God knows it's only time
Before I break the chain in my eyes
Fear keeps you hiding at night
and the creatures play ball outside
Chances are slim we are right
But I'd never think it any otherwise
So we'll find the answers in time
and the bodies pile up sky high
and I'll sail this ship towards the sky
but I'll end all alone on the other side
and if you could pull that rope just a little higher
we could dangle alone like a firefly
so Jimmy I've heard the voice of God
and he whispered fear is logical
and he said it's magic, wonderful
and he swears to him it's wonderful
and the lake you speak of, magical
so I skip stones on it, practical
and I make sure that we're both wonderful
you're a brother and that's alright
you're a brother and that's alright
you're a brother and that's alright
we're brothers it makes it right
cuz his blood is so red in spite
of the way that our sharp teeth bite
oh the way that our sharp teeth bite
in each other during the night
with the creatures that play outside
we're the creatures that play outside
cuz jimmy I've heard the voice of God
and he whispered fear is logical
and the words that we heard aren't repeatable
with the thought that could kill comprehendable
and we're brothers and that's alright [x3]
yeah, we're brothers until we die

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
the line "the fear keeps you hard in at night" is..
the fear keeps you hiding at night..
The first line is so beautiful, it almost brings me to tears
but i can't work out what this song means, someone please help me...i so want to understand this
I think it's about how it's hard for him to believe in God.
"God knows it's only time before i break the chain in my eyes" -Time will tell of what he really believes, God or reality.
"Fear keeps you hiding at night and the creatures play ball outside" -Fear keeps them from believing but there are these creatures that are outside that they see/hear (could be angels or other believers).
"Chances are slim we are right but i'd never think it any otherwise" -They might be right about God but he doesn't want to believe it.
"So we'll find the answers in time and the bodies pile up sky high" -They will figure it out but for now they will live life.
He hears the voice of God telling him that it's human to be fearful or doubtful but that he is there and that life after death is magical/wonderful. And the "lake" is heaven?
"We're the creatures that play outside" -They turn to God and become the creatures, too.
"And the thought that could kill comprehendable" -God or this thought of heaven/afterlife would kill any reasoning but he believes it because he heard the voice of God.
Just my take on it. May be completely wrong.
Love, MOnster.
where can i find this?
on the new cd, it's actually called "Jimmy, He Whispers" though....sorry guys!
?? = So I skip stones on it practical
good song, The River + this is probably my favorite song so far.
So good. I love how the lyrics to this are hidden behind the cover.
This is probably my favorite song. The lyrics are fantastic, the way he sings it is completely great, the music that goes along with it goes along perfectly, and the song over all is just fucking amazing.
Wow, this song is so haunting.
I really like this song but all the rhyming in the middle bit makes me want to slap somebody. Logical, wonderful, magical, wonderful. But I love the opening. "God knows you're on my mind, I can't tell Him otherwise." And then the way the music kind of swells in the background and then fades out. It's really quite amazing. I just wish I could get past all the rhyming.
