In that room where you sit
Where you live
I know it's good to you
God, I know it's good to you
In your fear where you lay
Where you think
It eases all the pain
All the pain of what you made

One last night at the lonely wheel
One last taste of the sin we feel
One hope in the fear
That drives us on
One last drink just to kill the pain
One last breath
Before I say your name
I'm giving into you

If you could see in me
There is all you want
There is all you want
If you would just give in
It will get easier, it will get easier
(If you just give in it would...)

I get it, I need to fall
I get it, I need to call
Me and who I are so in the way
Me and who I am,
We are so in the way

    I believe this song is about just being a sinner. I think it is a comparison between drinking and sinning.

    "One last night at the lonely wheel One last taste of the sin we feel One hope in the fear That drives us on One last drink just to kill the pain One last breath Before I say your name I'm giving into you"

    This chorus really speaks to me as it is just what we all tell ourselves. We plead with ourselves that this is the last time we will give into our addictions but we just end up giving in and leave ourselves broken.

    "If you could see in me There is all you want There is all you want If you would just give in It will get easier, it will get easier"

    now this I like believe that it is talking about the lies that our addictions tell us, saying that they are all we need; all we want. I also think the last line refers to how not only we are promised things will get easier or better when we sin but also how the more we give in to sin and go against our convictions the easier it is for us to fall into the same hole; as if the hole gets deep each time we tap into it.

    "I get it, I need to fall I get it, I need to call Me and who I are so in the way Me and who I am, We are so in the way "

    This last part is just about falling down and realizing that we are the ones who are at fault. he screams that 'me and who I am are so in the way', which refers to the fact that our human nature is in the way of gods plan.

    I love The Almost soo much, Aaron is my role model. He is just so full of God's spirit and is trying to show everyone what the love of God really is. He sings with such raw emotion that the songs that he has written have just moved me when I am going through tough times. The way he can capture the way we feel as christian sometimes just leaves me awestruck.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
