Butterfly

Candlebox

All I know I see it, what for?
All I know you see it, what for?
Lies to, love to, feel it all
What I've dropped to,
And I never see what I want
Never see what I need
Now it's for
To die for, To die for,
To die for, to die for
(Butterfly)
A simple change for me to
(Fly us home)
(Butterfly)
In your life you'll feel it all
(Fly us home)
(Butterfly)
Simple change for me to
(Fly us home)
(Butterfly)
Anything free from
(Fly us home)
(Butterfly)
Simple change for me to
(Fly us home)
Softer than softer
All I
Well I fall, and I fall
Every light I need
Upon me place it all
Everything is simple to, simple for me
What I need
Some things matter,
Some things they feel
Set it for, to kill for,
I set it for to kill for,
Kill for you
(Butterfly)
Simple change for me to
(Fly us home)
In your life you free it all
(Butterfly)
Simple change for me to
(Fly us home)
Anything you're free from
(Butterfly)
Simple change for me to
(Fly us home)
Softer than softer than anything,
(Butterfly)
My butterfly,
(Fly us home)
Anything,
(Butterfly)
My butterfly,
(Fly us home)
Softer than anything,
(Butterfly)
My butterfly,
(Fly us home)
Softer than,
(Butterfly)
And anything
All I
Every life is taken. What for?
And every life is taken. What for?
You lie to, you love to, feel it all
I've dropped to,
Now I never see what I want
Never see what I need to kill for
(Butterfly)
A simple change for me to
(Fly us home)
In your life now you feel it all
(Butterfly)
A simple change for me to
(Fly us home)
Everything
(Butterfly)
Now you're free from
(Butterfly)
(Fly us home)
Simple change for me to
Softer than softer than anything
You love to lie to
You love to
You lie to
You love to
You lie to
You love to
You love to
You love to
You love to
Lie to me

    It's about killing butterflies in a jar.

Little Feat
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 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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
