High life
It’s gonna get better, it’s gonna work out
Give it a minute, it’s gonna turn around
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, better
It’s gonna get better, better
So just coast with me
So just coast, coast
So just coast, coast with me
So just coast, coast
So just coast, coast
Maybe I’m too young to be so hopeless
Maybe I’m too young to be so bitter
But I swallowed life lessons by the joke-full[?]
And came away looking like a quitter
I’m singing,
I keep making mistakes
But it takes some time to get anything right
You know that I keep making mistakes
But it takes some time to get anything right
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, it’s gonna work out
Give it a minute, it’s gonna turn around
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, better
It’s gonna get better, better
We’re gonna keep living
We’re gonna get by
We never have to lay down and die
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, better
It’s gonna get better, better
So just coast with me
So just coast, coast
So just coast, coast with me
So just coast, coast
So just coast
It’s funny how triviality[?] nearly broke me
But tragedy seemed to put me back together, yeah
I keep making mistakes
But it takes some time to get anything right
You know that I keep making mistakes
But it takes some time to get anything right
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, it’s gonna work out
Give it a minute, it’s gonna turn around
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, better
It’s gonna get better, better
We’re gonna keep living
We’re gonna get by
We never have to lay down and die
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, better
It’s gonna get better, better
So just coast with me
Life’s already been hard enough
Without you giving up on yourself
When you’re down at the bottom
You know it only gets better
It’s gonna get better before it gets worse
We never have to come back to Earth
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, better
It’s gonna get better, better
We’re gonna keep living
We’re gonna get by
We never have to lay down and die
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, better
It’s gonna get better, better
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, it’s gonna work out
Give it a minute, it’s gonna turn around
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, better
It’s gonna get better, better
We’re gonna keep living
We’re gonna get by
We never have to lay down and die
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, better
It’s gonna get better, better
Give it a minute, it’s gonna turn around
‘Cause it’s gonna get better, better
It’s gonna get better, better
So just coast with me
So just coast, coast
So just coast, coast with me
So just coast, coast
So just coast, coast
Maybe I’m too young to be so hopeless
Maybe I’m too young to be so bitter
But I swallowed life lessons by the joke-full[?]

Techno Ted

Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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."
