This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm up in the woods
I'm down on my mind
I'm building a still
To slow down time
I'm up in the woods
I'm down on my mind
I'm building a still
To slow down the time
I'm up in the woods
I'm down on my line
I'm building a still
Down the time ooh
I'm lost in the world
Been down my whole life
I'm new in the city
And I'm down for the night
Down for the night
Said she's down for the night
Down the time
I'm lost in the world
Been down my whole life
I'm new in the city
But I'm down for the night
Down for the night, down for the night
You're my devil, you're my angel
You're my Heaven, you're my Hell
You're my now, you're my forever
You're my freedom, you're my jail
You're my lies, you're my truth
You're my war, you're my truce
You're my questions, you're my proof
You're my stress and you're my masseuse
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-se, ma-ma-ku-sa
Lost in this plastic light
Let's break out of this fake ass party
Turn this into a classic night
If we die in each other's arms
Still get laid in that afterlife
If we die in each other's arms
Still get laid yeah
I'm up in the woods (run from the lights, run from the night)
Run for your life
I'm new in the city
And I'm down for the night
Down for the night, down for the night
I'm lost in the world
Been down my whole life
I'm new in the city
But I'm down for the night
Down for the night, down for the night
Who will survive in America?
Who will survive in America? (Down for the night)
Who will survive in America?
Who will survive in America?
I'm lost in the world
Been down my whole life
I'm new in the city
And I'm down for the ride, known for the ride
I'm lost in the world
Been down my whole life
I'm new in the city
But I'm down for the night
Down for the night, for a good time

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
any song involving justin vernon is excellent.
Well, starts with Bon Iver song "woods"-very good by the way. Then Kanye's part is talking about someone who is his absolute everything. Gil-Scott Heron verse is a bit more complicated to me but here is my take on it...
"People don't even want to hear the preacher spill or spiel because God's whole card has been thoroughly piqued. " -first he is saying how everyone has turned their back on religion and resented god.
"The youngsters who were programmed to continue fucking up woke up one night digging Paul Revere and Nat Turner as the good guys." ~Nat Turner was an American slave who led a slave rebellion in Virginia -So, one night the younger generation (us I am guessing) woke up and realized, the "bad" guys weren't so bad after all
"We learned to our amazement untold tale of scandal." "America stripped for bed and we had not all yet closed our eyes" -Truth started coming out, and not everyone was prepared.
"Two long centuries buried in the musty vault, hosed down daily with a gagging perfume. " -Truth came out after 200 years of being covered up badly. Like a place that stinks trying to cover it up in bad perfume. We all now know about world war 1, 2, civil wars, ect etc.
"America was a bastard the illegitimate daughter of the mother country whose legs were then spread around the world" -America is basically the daughter of Great Britain, who at the time had all the power in the world.
"Democracy, liberty, and justice were revolutionary code names that preceded the bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling in the mother country's crotch." -Lol, weird visual. What came out of the "mother" was democracy, liberty, and justice=america.
"What does Websters say about soul?" -The dictionary defines words, but it surely doesn't "Define" them, such as looking up soul or the meanings of "life" on it does nothing.
I'm building a STILL.
A still is something they use to distill liquor. Is that a reference to drinking to pass the time?
—noun<br /> Photography . a single photographic print, as one of the frames of a motion-picture film.<br /> <br /> could be this too.
I can't even get over how much I love this song
“That was the last song on the album and emotionally it just fit the crescendo of everything that I was saying and what I wanted to say to this girl,” West told MTV News. “And it’s also my favorite eight bars that I’ve ever written in my life. I think it’s one of the greatest pieces of writing, that verse: ‘You’re my devil, you’re my angel/ You’re my heaven, you’re my hell/ You’re my now, you’re my forever/ You’re my freedom, you’re my jail/ You’re my lies, you’re my proof/ You’re my war, you’re my truce,’ and the last line is, ‘You’re my stress, you’re my masseuse.’ “
The way this song progresses is perfect. When the beat comes in for the first time, the verse, the 'Run from the lights, run from the night, run for your life' bit, when Gil Scott-Heron turns up. Amazing.
America was a bastard: the illegitimate daughter of the mother country, whose legs were then spread around the world; and a rapist known as freedom - free doom.
I'd add in that punctuation. Makes a lot more sense then.
America was a bastard: the illegitimate daughter of the mother country, whose legs were then spread around the world; and a rapist known as freedom - free doom.<br /> <br /> This part is actually saying that America was a bastard and illegitimate daughter of the mother country because Africa had to be raped-in the name of freedom-to build the American Empire. Countries all over the world are continuing to experience this, if you think about it.<br /> <br /> <br />
The mother country is Britain, from whom the U.S. gained independence and is the 'illegitimate daughter'. The 'legs were then spread around the world' bit refers to the rest of Britain's empire. America is illegitimate and a 'bastard' because Britain never intended for her to be "born" - freedom "raped" Britain and created the U.S.
i can't get enough of this song. it's epic.
The correct lyrics are:
'I'm building a sill to slow down the time.'
The line "our open ended vagina" should be "our often-entered vagina". Makes a lot more sense for a vagina to be often-entered as opposed to open-ended :)
Fantastic end to a fantastic album.
someone being the world to a man and that he will break out of the twisted society and if the society consumes and kills him its ok, cause in heaven everything will be great and real. "Lost in this plastic life Let's break out of this fake ass party Turn this into a classic night If we die in each others arms Still get laid in that afterlife If we die in each others arms still get laid, yeah"
