Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
These are my final lines,
I've lived all my nine lives,
My nights are over, cannot feel your heart anymore
I lived only trough you,
My scar, my heart, my truth,
I do not want to die,
But no more can I love you!
How hard it is to understand
My wish to die hand in hand?
This night's like a dream
You will be the last thing I will see
I hold your hand, close my eyes all I love finally dies
Drank the poison most foul with you
But why do you smile?
Don't smile
Don't you smile
You're supposed Wither away with me, so, Juliette
Please don't smile
I'm paralyzed and you are still alive.
Life is but a long, sad game
Lifeless souls, avoiding shame
Two dead swans is all what we need
To pave the winding memory lane.
No hellos, no bad goodbyes
Wailing, distant, silent cries
You can live with my pain,
It's your own you cannot take?
You played the game and lost,
I wonder how you can,
Hold the cards for a dead man
The light and the clarity
Welcome change for the life in the darkness,
Sea of my sanity
Lost in the vanity
All I ever wanted, to be lost in you,
My burden, the hatred
My own reality
Mirrors and smoke
The final truth unfolds
Your reality
Mirrors my hopes,
Where you will need me
They never find us again once the trail has gone cold
They never find us again once the trail has gone cold
I'm a restless soul, I'll make the best ghost
All things good end into a
Minute of silence!
I get myself in line
One minute of silence
To face my own demise
One minute of silence
This is not what I signed for
One minute of silence
You double-crossing, filthy whore
I sit with someone in the dark
I'm so afraid to see it's me again
You had a change of heart,
Now we're all getting hurt
Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to my life again
Walk with me, every curve, every bend
This promenade that seems to come to an end
You know what you meant to me,
Emptied the room in your life that I paid for
When I lost my sanity
I made a mess I am now here to clean
It is too late to regret anything tonight
After what has come to light
You have played me for a fool, for all this time?
The story may rewrite itself after I'm gone
One more breath, the day will dawn
How hard it is to understand
My wish to die hand in hand?
These wounds stay open all night long,
You are the last thing I will see
I lived only by you,
My scar, my heart, my truth,
My sole reason to die, for
There's no life without you
These are my final lines, I've used all my nine lives,
My life is over, cannot feel your heart anymore
I lived only by you,
My scar, my heart, my truth,
Have no reason to live,
I can't feel the love anymore
This is, the end
Why?
You're closing my eyes
I've lived all my nine lives,
My nights are over, cannot feel your heart anymore
I lived only trough you,
My scar, my heart, my truth,
I do not want to die,
But no more can I love you!
How hard it is to understand
My wish to die hand in hand?
This night's like a dream
You will be the last thing I will see
I hold your hand, close my eyes all I love finally dies
Drank the poison most foul with you
But why do you smile?
Don't smile
Don't you smile
You're supposed Wither away with me, so, Juliette
Please don't smile

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
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.
Haha, that would be kinda funny, but it actually is part of the Caleb saga. Though I unfortunately don't know where it was, I read an interview with Tony on some German site, where he confirms that. Yet it seems to me that there are still too many parts missing to recollect the whole story, so I hope we will get to hear more about it in future Albums. :)
Also, now I've listened more often and more closely to the song, I think I took some things a bit too literal in my first post. Meanwhile I think "poison" could be a metaphor meaning "love". Furthermore I now believe this song is to be put after "Don't Say a Word". The situation could be like that: After he's got hold of her he is very angry and threatens to kill her ("Don't Say a Word"), but then somehow she calms him down (or he, for he is kinda shizophrenic, calms down by himself) and then, in this song, recollects the story for himself, how he lived for her, how they broke up an how she didn't suffer from it the much he did (I like Kitchoua's thesis on that).
