I keep falling out of line
I was drained and left behind
All will fade and petrify
Feed the hate and start the lies
Falling in between, I am caught beneath

Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive!

I keep falling out of time
I was blamed and cauterized
All will change and calcify
Feed the hate and start the lies
Falling in between, I am caught beneath

Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive!

Control!
Lies inside, lies inside

Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive!
Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive! bury me alive!
Bury me alive!

    I think "Bury me alive" <--- that line alone means look I'm going through so much pain you might as well place me in my coffin alive and bury me because it can't get much worse than this. This is rock bottom for me.

    "All will change and calcify" <--- my life is crap right now but life will change for me. Eventually I'm not even going to care about any of this.

    "I will break and watch you crawl" I think she messes up in life a lot. He's trying to leave her in the past and move on but he will cave in and watch her mess her life up. It bothers him that she is so careless about her actions but maybe he also gets a sick pleasure from seeing her down? You love someone so much that when you feel betrayed by them, you hate them.... but deep down you really do love them more than anything.

    The song is sung in such a dark "I'm a villain tone" so maybe she got him mad over her mistakes and also for leaving him.

    I love it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
