This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm a man who doesn't know defeat
I tend to tower over trees
And I make a damn good coffee
I'm a man who's great at setting trends
Uses his teeth to open cans
I've never lost against a grizzly
But when it comes to you
I'm like a child
I'm stuck and won't get anywhere
I wrote Casablanca in my sleep
??? to say the least
And I'm ??? at Ryan Gosling
But when it comes to you
I'm like a child
I'm stuck and won't get anywhere
Days like these I wish that I could just hide in my bed
Like a captain who's lost his first mate to the ocean
Some things will just never, ever change
I'm the kid who never did his chores
I've slayed a thousand dinosaurs
Yeah, I'm the cause for their extinction
I don't remember the last time I gave in
I can't recall the last party I didn't attend
I look great in a black tuxedo
Oh yeah!
But when it comes to you
I'm like a child
I'm stuck and won't get anywhere
Days like these I wish that I could just hide in my bed
Like a captain who's lost his first mate to the ocean
Some things will just never, ever change
Wake up every morning with my feet in front of me
The sun burning my eyelids making it too hard to see
I know I need to come around
It's way too late for me to win this war
I've loaded up my luggage with everything I might need
A t-shirt and a few socks, two pillows and a book to read
I'm off just like an astronaut, shuttle straight up into space
But before I leave I'll be sure that you don't forget this face
Days like these I wish that I could just hide in my bed
Like a captain who's lost his first mate to the ocean
Some things will just never, ever change
I tend to tower over trees
And I make a damn good coffee
I'm a man who's great at setting trends
Uses his teeth to open cans
I've never lost against a grizzly
But when it comes to you
I'm like a child
I'm stuck and won't get anywhere
I wrote Casablanca in my sleep
??? to say the least
And I'm ??? at Ryan Gosling
But when it comes to you
I'm like a child
I'm stuck and won't get anywhere
Days like these I wish that I could just hide in my bed
Like a captain who's lost his first mate to the ocean
Some things will just never, ever change
I'm the kid who never did his chores
I've slayed a thousand dinosaurs
Yeah, I'm the cause for their extinction
I don't remember the last time I gave in
I can't recall the last party I didn't attend
I look great in a black tuxedo
Oh yeah!
But when it comes to you
I'm like a child
I'm stuck and won't get anywhere
Days like these I wish that I could just hide in my bed
Like a captain who's lost his first mate to the ocean
Some things will just never, ever change
Wake up every morning with my feet in front of me
The sun burning my eyelids making it too hard to see
I know I need to come around
It's way too late for me to win this war
I've loaded up my luggage with everything I might need
A t-shirt and a few socks, two pillows and a book to read
I'm off just like an astronaut, shuttle straight up into space
But before I leave I'll be sure that you don't forget this face
Days like these I wish that I could just hide in my bed
Like a captain who's lost his first mate to the ocean
Some things will just never, ever change

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

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.
"i tend to never say the least" and i'm bros with ryan gosling" are the two missing lines
"A t-shirt and a few socks, two pillows and a book to read"...
That should be "a few socks, some toothpaste and a book to read."
haha this song is heaps good! more chilled than their other songs :) they can definitely pull off both ! "I'm a man who's great at setting trends, Uses his teeth to open cans, I've never lost against a grizzly. But when it comes to you I'm like a child, I'm stuck and won't get anywhere" pretty much sums up the whole song ,pretty much talking himself up like most guys do, trying to sound all tough and rebel and bad ass :P but then theres this girl who sees through all that and he just cant get his head around it :). I love the lines "I'm the kid who never did his chores, I've slayed a thousand dinosaurs. Yeah, I'm the cause for their extinction" haha :)
