This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
(You know I'm trying to make it happen for us right now
I gotta do what I gotta do, for me and you)
I remember we were living like kings and queens
In a little tiny castle made of hopes and dreams
It was destiny, meant to be, so complete, the perfect team
Suddenly there's a glitch in the system
And between us is a big strip of distance
They say it's supposed to make the heart grow fonder
From all I can tell it couldn't be wronger
A little bit more goes a long way
A little bit of right goes the wrong way
I keep giving you keep taking
Trying to make a living be patience
I just don't know where to go
So I'm dancing on my own
I've been waiting way too long
Dancing on my own
Play one more song, song, song
But you're not coming
Song, song, song
But you're not coming home
I don't want you dancing by yourself
And I don't want you picturing yourself with someone else
I know I made some promises and honestly I wanted this to work out
I didn't know the shiny star I found was about to burn out
So what now, we go around like a record
I'm feeling disconnected and you're feeling disrespected
I don't know how this going back but 'til I'm home you should turn that track on
And that's all I get from you
But I give my all to you
And that's all I hear from you
I just don't know where to go
So I'm dancing on my own
I've been waiting way too long
Dancing on my own
Play one more song, song, song
But you're not coming
Song, song, song
But you're not coming home
I always think about her
Try to not over think about her
I always dream about her
Try not to dream about her
I'm feeling so lost without her
I, I, I, I try to come home
And it's so hard being out on my own
It breaks my heart to leave you alone
I just don't know where to go
So I'm dancing on my own
I've been waiting way too long
Dancing on my own
Play one more song, song, song
But you're not coming
Song, song, song
But you're not coming home
I gotta do what I gotta do, for me and you)
I remember we were living like kings and queens
In a little tiny castle made of hopes and dreams
It was destiny, meant to be, so complete, the perfect team
Suddenly there's a glitch in the system
And between us is a big strip of distance
They say it's supposed to make the heart grow fonder
From all I can tell it couldn't be wronger
A little bit more goes a long way
A little bit of right goes the wrong way
I keep giving you keep taking
Trying to make a living be patience
I just don't know where to go
So I'm dancing on my own
I've been waiting way too long
Dancing on my own
Play one more song, song, song
But you're not coming
Song, song, song
But you're not coming home
I don't want you dancing by yourself
And I don't want you picturing yourself with someone else
I know I made some promises and honestly I wanted this to work out
I didn't know the shiny star I found was about to burn out
So what now, we go around like a record

I don't know how this going back but 'til I'm home you should turn that track on
And that's all I get from you

And that's all I hear from you

Song, song, song
But you're not coming home

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
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
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.
