This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
What to do with a soulless man
alarm the seekers of such beings to send forth the legion
take the vessel so empty and hollow
in death we part our ways, soar high to the clouds
let go of the grip and leave me in the desolate lands of home
like a weathered tree standing the test of time
I have felt the full force of this conviction
to be shackled in guilt watching my love ones wither
one by one each process the same
the process the same but the burden on my heart grows
this is the weight of the world
carrying and forgetting the reason why I do so
the purpose of life has left my sanity and in its wake
left the being before you
pleading forgiveness to my loved ones forgotten
kept alive through me, a glimpse of dreams I cherish
the silent whisper I hear in the darkest of nights
the guiding voice of a salvation not rightfully mine
and something I don't rightfully deserve
for acceptance is my bane
the hearts I have torn, the vows I left broken
callas and selfish this is what I become
even in loathsome I could never utter them words I am sorry
so I plead don't shower me with affection
for I am not worthy of such a love
you stood by my side through the bleakest of days
I repay such a penance with lies and hardship
and for the first time in my life I can say as a man
erase my existence, blot out the memories we have shared
mistakes, regrets is all they contain
in the ashes let them birth your wings
soar and never look back
alarm the seekers of such beings to send forth the legion
take the vessel so empty and hollow
in death we part our ways, soar high to the clouds
let go of the grip and leave me in the desolate lands of home
like a weathered tree standing the test of time
I have felt the full force of this conviction
to be shackled in guilt watching my love ones wither
one by one each process the same
the process the same but the burden on my heart grows
this is the weight of the world
carrying and forgetting the reason why I do so
the purpose of life has left my sanity and in its wake
left the being before you
pleading forgiveness to my loved ones forgotten
kept alive through me, a glimpse of dreams I cherish
the silent whisper I hear in the darkest of nights
the guiding voice of a salvation not rightfully mine
and something I don't rightfully deserve
for acceptance is my bane
the hearts I have torn, the vows I left broken
callas and selfish this is what I become
even in loathsome I could never utter them words I am sorry
so I plead don't shower me with affection
for I am not worthy of such a love
you stood by my side through the bleakest of days
I repay such a penance with lies and hardship
and for the first time in my life I can say as a man
erase my existence, blot out the memories we have shared
mistakes, regrets is all they contain
in the ashes let them birth your wings
soar and never look back

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."

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.
No Surprises

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.
