This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
A passing life each day a carving on the wall
It’s like a night without awakening
The truth is lost and maybe never to be found
Like the shadows of my pantomime
When all the world is gathered for the final feast
Will there be someone to believe in me?
The voices echoing in my distorted mind
Is this for real or just a dream?
(Am I losing my mind? I am not afraid, my dear)
[Chorus:]
Sing for me angel of afterlife calming me down
Chaos inside my nebula
And may the wrong turn to right in a celestial light
Forgive my sacrimony
Tell me what they say that I’m supposed to know
Tell me every little detail
Make truth appear for me as distant memories
Like pictures on a silver screen
It all becomes clear
The truth will appear
Forever I'm there for you and sing...
[Chorus]
And now leave me alone
Erase my memory
Don’t want to hear, don’t want to see
Don’t want to think about the lie that follows me
All becomes clear
But no one will hear my testimony
I am your angel of afterlife
Calming you down
Silence inside your nebula
And when the wrong turns to right in a celestial light
I’ll heed your testimony
[Chorus]
(Ring around a rosie,
A pocketful of posies,
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down)
It’s like a night without awakening
The truth is lost and maybe never to be found
Like the shadows of my pantomime
When all the world is gathered for the final feast
Will there be someone to believe in me?
The voices echoing in my distorted mind
Is this for real or just a dream?
(Am I losing my mind? I am not afraid, my dear)
[Chorus:]
Sing for me angel of afterlife calming me down
Chaos inside my nebula
And may the wrong turn to right in a celestial light
Forgive my sacrimony
Tell me what they say that I’m supposed to know
Tell me every little detail
Make truth appear for me as distant memories
Like pictures on a silver screen
It all becomes clear
The truth will appear
Forever I'm there for you and sing...
[Chorus]
And now leave me alone
Erase my memory
Don’t want to hear, don’t want to see
Don’t want to think about the lie that follows me
All becomes clear
But no one will hear my testimony
I am your angel of afterlife
Calming you down
Silence inside your nebula
And when the wrong turns to right in a celestial light
I’ll heed your testimony
[Chorus]
(Ring around a rosie,
A pocketful of posies,
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down)

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I feel that the song is about Revisionist History and how The Cinema acts as an outlet for it, the Angel of Afterlife, is the revised and romanticized account of the original events, a Sacrimony is a Sacrifice of something (in this case the truth) for no real reason, in this case it is unknowingly sacrificed in order to make a more gripping movie, it's also done in propaganda, making "Wrong turn to right, in a Celestial Light" Celestial in this context meaning Star-Studded, like the cast of a big budget motion picture. the song even explicitly states this "Make the truth appear for me as distant memories like pictures on a silver screen" and even in the song, the chaos inside the nebula is sung by the Angel of Afterlife, which to me is Revisionist History personified, sings the chorus "I am your angel of afterlife calming you down Silence inside your nebula And when the wrong turns to right in a celestial light I’ll be your testimony" referring to in time the movie's account slowly becomes the generally accepted truth no matter how romanticized or inaccurate the account may be.
