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.
The song came on the jukebox
In the bar where we first met
And if only for a moment
I remembered what it meant
To wake up tangled in between the sheets
Your thighs so tight between my knees
And never wanting to move from that bed
The words that rang too true to me
And I was just too scared to say
You could be my way out
Save me from this small town
I need it now
(we could just leave this place tonight)
Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us now
We'll make it out
We could just leave this place tonight
Close your eyes
(just take me away)
And say goodbye
(we'll leave tonight)
You could be my way out
Save me from this small town
I need it now
(we could just leave this place)
My head weighed down from memories
Laid itself upon the bar
As I stared straight at my future
Seems the past was never far
The dreams came rushing back in melody
The songs that once felt safe to me
Now all that's left are records on the shelf
The words that rang too true to me
But I was just too scared to say
You could be my way out
Save me from this small town
I need it now
(we could just leave this place tonight)
Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us now
We'll make it out
We could just leave this place tonight
Close your eyes
(just take me away)
And say goodbye
(we'll leave tonight)
You could be my way out
Save me from this small town
I need it now
(we could just leave this place)
I was ready
To pack my bags and just run away
If you would have let me
I would have stayed that day
I know I'm to blame
For all these mistakes
If I could just hear you say
You could be my way out
Save me from this small town
I need it now
(we could just leave this place tonight)
Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us now
We'll make it out
We could just leave this place tonight
Close your eyes
(just take me away)
And say goodbye
(we'll leave tonight)
You could be my way out
Save me from this small town
I need it now
(we could just leave this place tonight)
You could be my way out
We could just leave this place tonight
Throw all of your plans out
We could just leave this place tonight
You could be my way out
We could just leave this place tonight
Throw all of your plans out
We could just leave this place
In the bar where we first met
And if only for a moment
I remembered what it meant
To wake up tangled in between the sheets
Your thighs so tight between my knees
And never wanting to move from that bed
The words that rang too true to me
And I was just too scared to say
You could be my way out
Save me from this small town
I need it now
(we could just leave this place tonight)
Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us now
We'll make it out
We could just leave this place tonight
Close your eyes
(just take me away)
And say goodbye
(we'll leave tonight)
You could be my way out
Save me from this small town
I need it now
(we could just leave this place)
My head weighed down from memories
Laid itself upon the bar
As I stared straight at my future
Seems the past was never far
The dreams came rushing back in melody
The songs that once felt safe to me
Now all that's left are records on the shelf
The words that rang too true to me
But I was just too scared to say
You could be my way out
Save me from this small town
I need it now

Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us now
We'll make it out

You could be my way out
We could just leave this place tonight
Throw all of your plans out
We could just leave this place tonight
You could be my way out
We could just leave this place tonight
Throw all of your plans out
We could just leave this place

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."

Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
No one had posted lyrics yet and I couldn't find them anywhere so I did my best guess just by hearing. If anyone knows the missing parts, please tell.
