Salgo de la casa, corro por las calles
Y un rayo me atrapa con su luz
Leo los diarios, Jordan retirado
Y el colesterol no ayuda a mi salu'
Opinan todos menos tú

Pero te digo que yo
Me siento en la acera, te escribo un poema
Y un perro me guiña un ojo azul
Oigo mil llamadas, no respondo nada
El código de área de mi comprensión
Se lo entregué a tu corazón, negrita linda

Y lo que me pasa a mí
Mamita, estoy ofuscao'
Y de seguir así
Voy a acabar tostao'

Ay no, no me hagas sufrir
Que eres mi fuente de luz
Lo que me pasa a mí
Le pasa a todo el mundo
Una locura así
Que me lleva a lo absurdo
Es oficio de enamorao'
Oficio de enamorao'
Oficio de, enamorao'

Sigo caminando, me grita el asfalto
Y un tráfico multa mi razón
Busco bien tu cara, la ilusión me ladra
Me perfumo el alma con esa actitu'
Estaban todos menos tú, negrita linda

Y lo que me pasa a mí
Mamita, estoy ofuscao'
Y de seguir así
Voy a acabar tostao'

Ay no, no me hagas sufrir
Que eres mi fuente de luz
Lo que me pasa a mí
Le pasa a todo el mundo
Una locura así
Que me lleva a lo absurdo
Es oficio de enamorao'
Oficio de enamorao'
Oficio de, echa pa' 'cá, mamá

Mamita, sal a la calle
Que mi cariño es profundo
Lo que me pasa a mí
Le pasa a todo el mundo
Una locura infinita de'de principio del mundo, negrita
Lo que me pasa a mí
Le pasa a todo el mundo
Eres mi talón de Aquiles, mi brujulita y mi rumbo
Lo que me pasa a mí
Le pasa a todo el mundo
De Puerto Rico a Argentina, Santo Domingo a Berlín
A todos nos pasa

Este que mira, pero echa pa' 'cá

Mamita, sal a la calle
Que mi cariño es profundo, tú ve'
Lo que me pasa a mí
Le pasa a todo el mundo
Se me anestesia la vida si no te veo en mi rumbo
Lo que me pasa a mí
Le pasa a todo el mundo
De Venezuela a Colombia y de'de España hasta el mundo
Ya ves

Lo que me pasa a mí
Le pasa a cualquiera
Le pasa a él
En medio 'e la acera
Te pasa a ti
Cruzando la esquina, bebiendo una soda o leyendo rayuela
Lo que me pasa a mí
Uh-eh-eh-eh
Le pasa a él
Acomódate Ma'dalena
Le pasa a u'te'
Que ahora vengo Super-Nintendo
Con dispositivo de turbo que vuela
Lo que me pasa a mí
Pero que mira, cuando paso por tu casa, niña
Le pasa a él
Se me alborota el corazón, pi ri qui ta ca ta
Me pasa a mí
Me sube la bili', me brotan la' vena'
Se aprieta el pechito y la rumba está buena

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."

No Surprises
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.

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. 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.
