And then the seasons get you down
I'll come running to tuck you in
Out the window looks like all of the colors
All of them melting down
Been escaping, barely keeps him awake, shivering in your clothes
Frosty glasses cracking into the shades,
tryin' to forget you yet

Hello, hello
You always seem to call and nothing's on
Proceed to memory
Hello, hello
You always seem t forget before we leave the information's in
You're awfully calm and dull
Hello, hello
You're awfully calm, is all
Hello, hello

And when the seasons get you down
I'll come running to tuck you in
And out the window looks like all of the colors, all of them melting down
I hate escaping, barely keeps you awake, shivering in your clothes
My frosty glasses cracking into the shades,
tryin' to forget you, no

Word, fire, wind, hey, eh-oh
And soon, all you'll have is the memory
And then you won't even have that memory
Oh-oh-oh
And soon, all you'll have is the memory
Oh-oh-oh
And then you won't even have that memory
Oh-oh-oh
Until all you'll have is the memory
Oh-oh-oh
And then you won't even have that memory

Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a
Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a
Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a
Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a

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.
