Satellites mediate for us
The days events through fiber optics.
I hope we can change the saying.
I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope.
I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope.
Clear as a bell are the short breaths
That you take when you're distracted.
Same as the way that you roll your eyes
When I've asked too many stupid questions.
My faith in zeroes and ones to host our romance,
Rests on hope you gave that I've some claim to your heart.
I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope.
I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope.
Clear as a bell are the short breaths
That you take when you're distracted.
Same as the way that you roll your eyes
When I've asked too many questions.
I will call you in three weeks,
Maybe then you'll have some more to say.
The days events through fiber optics.
I hope we can change the saying.
I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope.
I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope.
Clear as a bell are the short breaths
That you take when you're distracted.
Same as the way that you roll your eyes
When I've asked too many stupid questions.
My faith in zeroes and ones to host our romance,
Rests on hope you gave that I've some claim to your heart.
I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope.
I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope.
Clear as a bell are the short breaths
That you take when you're distracted.
Same as the way that you roll your eyes
When I've asked too many questions.
I will call you in three weeks,
Maybe then you'll have some more to say.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."
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.
Boy oh boy do I know how this feels.
"I will call you in three weeks, maybe then you'll have some more to say."
I think any song is open to any interpretation by anybody. To each his or her own! If it means something special and important to a person, but it means something wholly different to another but still equally special and important, so be it.
To me, it's a long distance relationship in which the singer gives a lot more affection than is returned. And again, to me, the singer wants to not care about it, to be all right with being the one who calls, but it's not. And it hurts.
Goodness, this song! Amazing.
Who can't relate to this song? Ever called the lastest crush and they just run you in circles? Amazign song, so real.
Mary - this is my life i think. this song is pretty self-explanitory. its such a fun song. not a fun person to be though...
to true...sadly
This song is me singing it... No lie. I mean if you have had a long distance relationship thathas ended badly you know what he is saying...
I love this song... his voice is just so heartfelt... it really gets you, especially if you can relate to the meaning.
This song isn't about a relationship between two people but rather the relationship between Bazan and Jesus. It's an example of how people think that Jesus doesn't hear our prayers and doesn't answer us back, hence the title, "I'm Always the One That Calls". Bazan feels like he's getting no response from Jesus when he prays, he keeps calling him, but no one is calling back. Perhaps this seems like it's about a relationship but Bazan is not nearly as juvenille as that; there's a bigger picture here kids.
keithlittle dont be so modest in saying your interpretation is right, youll hurt someones feelings. you are already hurting my brain. just because bazan is very religiously oriented doesnt mean every song is about religion or jesus. this song is about a romance and i think this is so because HE SAYS IT IS. or do you think jesus is the one rolling his eyes. you sound like such a juvenile, get the picture.... kid? listen to "the longest winter" it sounds like your forgetting what it feels like to be young, cause you sound like an old grouch.
wow tex calm down on keith's view....everyone has there own opinion =P
while i agree that it is a relationship with someone long distance, a lover, or even a past friend, it definitely could be about his relationship with jesus. nice observation keith
its "i hope we can change the saying" not "i hope we can chane the same" and its "same as the way that you roll your eyes when ive asked too many stupid questions" i can so relate to this song, this and the jazz june the phone works both ways
