Astounded

Tantric

Hey, hey Hey, hey

You don't care
How I feel
You care about yourself
I understand the way you feel
Your pity is your wealth

Lost in time
She don't mind the
Change in the ways

Now you're mine
We don't mind the
Change in the ways

[Chorus:]
Hey hey hey
I just found my way
All you stupid fuckers
Walk around astounded and drowning

Hey hey hey
I just found my way
Some things can be lost
But now I found a new way
Through it again

I'll never wish you harm in life
I pray you find your way
I have found I'll live my life
Discovering my fate

Lost in time
She don't mind the
Change in the ways

Now you're mine
We don't mind the
Change in the ways

[Chorus x3]

A new way
Through it
A new way
Through it Again

    This song really is astounding! I used to live a life with no direction and the lyrics really helped me to better understand the song and now I feel as if I have sort of direction and all you stupid fuckers walk around astounded and drowning.

    The song is wonderfully sung and has great meaning. It very well may help someone out who has no direction. I hope everyone finds their own person direction. Listen and Feel.

    I think the song is to his former band "days of the new" and how the lead singer kicked out the whole band cuz he didnt like them

    SpdyGnzlz31, I think you're a little confused which part of the band was formerly Days of the New. If I'm not mistaken, the lead singer is actually new...the other 3/4's of the band were formerly Days of the New.

    rtplease is right. The band you hear on the First Daws of the New cd is actually this band. Chris Cornell did not like the way the cd turned out so he fired the band, which in turn hired Hugo Ferreira to sing for them, calling themself Tantic. Your Welcome

    To the first two posts:

    You two both spoke of this song providing direction. Did you say that without thinking, or did you really glean direction from these lyrics?

    If the direction of a person's life can be changed from a song such as this one, I would truly be interested in an example.

    Hope to get a response from this one.

    All the best, Jeremy

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."

Punchline
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.
Album art
Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
