This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Terrifying as the sound the ice breaks beneath you
They would never pull you out but I would and I will
Drawing ever closer now, the construct surround you
I can only give you more though you push me away
The hole you feed it will gratify you instantly
But what of me? Am I far too real for you to see?
The end is nigh, it lives, I'll die
Or bow before its feat
We synthesize, blow open wide
And I'll wake up obsolete
All alone out there miles of beach stretched between us
All your feelings soiled with acid and sad
Crawling through the sound, your moutain of data
Everything you sought, corrupted and bad
The hope you feed, it will you gratify you instantly
But what of me? Am I far too real for you to see?
The end is nigh, it lives, I'll die or bow before it's feet
We synthesize, blow open wide
And I'll wake up obsolete
In the waning light of what's digital
Make you whole
I will pick you up, I'm your chariot
Take you home
They would never pull you out but I would and I will
Drawing ever closer now, the construct surround you
I can only give you more though you push me away
The hole you feed it will gratify you instantly
But what of me? Am I far too real for you to see?
The end is nigh, it lives, I'll die
Or bow before its feat
We synthesize, blow open wide
And I'll wake up obsolete
All alone out there miles of beach stretched between us
All your feelings soiled with acid and sad
Crawling through the sound, your moutain of data
Everything you sought, corrupted and bad
The hope you feed, it will you gratify you instantly
But what of me? Am I far too real for you to see?
The end is nigh, it lives, I'll die or bow before it's feet
We synthesize, blow open wide
And I'll wake up obsolete
In the waning light of what's digital
Make you whole
I will pick you up, I'm your chariot
Take you home

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
In fact, these are the correct lyrics, Kurt Feldman from The Depreciation Guild sent these to me, so they are definitely correct!
terrifying is the sound, the ice breaks beneath you they would never pull you out, but i would and i will drawing ever closer now, the construct surrounds you i can only give you more, though you push me away
the hole you feed, it will gratify you instantly but what of me, am i far too real for you to see?
"the end is nigh, it lives i die or bow before its feet we synthesize, blow open wide and i'll wake up obsolete"
all alone out there, miles of beach stretched between us all your feelings soiled with with acid and sad crawling through the sand, your mountain of data everything you've sought, corrupted and bad
the hole you feed, it will gratify you instantly but what of me, am i far too real to see
"the end is nigh, it lives i die or bow before its feet we synthesize, blow open wide and i'll wake up obsolete"
in the waning light of what's digital make you whole I will pick you up, i'm your chariot take you home
for the first verse i hear:
Terrifying is the sound, the ice breaks beneath you ... Time never consonants, the CONSTRUCT SURROUNDS you
(I think those are the lyrics because the rest of the lyrics seem very Neuromancer-influenced)
Also, i think in the last verses, it's "Make you whole", sounds more like whole than home and it seems to make more sense.
As I already said, the lyrics seem very similar to theme and situations from the book Neuromancer, so this may also help you decipher some of the harder sounding lyrics.
Hope these corrections help :)
Thanks, folks!
