She's got this kind of love
Why don't we let her know
She's got this kind of hope
Why don't we let her know

Maybe she got what she came for
Laying naked on the pine floor
Lonely we dance around the dying
Maybe she got what she came for
Lying naked on the pine floor
Lonely we dance around the dying
Maybe she got what she came for

Don't be scared I'm not here
For your heart
Don't be scared I'm not here
For your reasons
Don't be scared I'm just here for
The radio that plays in the background
While you're asking me to go

    My Opinion

    I think this song is about a person that is suffering from broken heart ,from love to something ,and with words "Lonely we dance around the dying" It's just about that person that is dying inside of that sad love and the other people don't see it and they're just dancing around it ,they just don't care. They're living their lifes and they don't come close to that person. "Lying naked on the pine floor" means that she is open to others , that all his/her secrets and life is like open book to the others. But that is just my opinion .

    in my opinion....it's about heartbreak, heartache...she's separated from her lover, feels dead inside hence the lyrics: "laying naked on the pine floor" (many dead are buried in a pine box) lyrics: "lonely we dance among the dying" is cz though we are sad and at our lowest it seems everyone else around us is happy, life goes on....lyrics: "don't be scared I'm not here for your heart or reasons", it's cz maybe she wanted to approach him and tell him how she feels but she felt rejection so instead she's saving face by saying,' don't worry I'm not here for you, I'm here cz I left something, the radio, my grandmas vase, my blow dryer under the bathroom sink, any excuse to see him again...deep song...love sucks :(

Mountain Song
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."

Amazing
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.

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
