Crazy as I may
Make my way through this world
It's for no one but me to share
What direction I turn in

'Cause I am the captain of this ship
Eyes, eyelids, and kissing lips
The same as it was and should be when you will
You give
Roll me back again
You give
Roll me away
You give
Roll the homes back again
You give

The same respect for them that turn and change
And don't you see the strange way
That the girl dances away a day
Even ridiculed display
Won't stop her feet from moving

Because I am the captain of this ship
Eyes, eyelids, and kissing lips
Just the same as it was away (?)

Maybe it's strange
I live a lie
I'm going back again

Oh, turn back
The lights from yourself
And turn the spotlight down
Or turn it on yourself

Because you are the captain of this ship
Eyes, eyelids, and kissing lips
Just the same as for all
I reign and waiting to be

Why should I be hypnotized
By someone else's lie?
Why should I
Oh, take time and pride in
What someone else believes?
Oh, tell me go on
Won't you roll on then maybe you
You give
Roll the backside on the wind
You give
Roll me away
You give
More than ever seen before
You give

Say, It may be all I can
Same as it was
And made me believe my head, my whole

    I love this song, it represents this guys looking down on this girl that doesnt give a flip who sees her, and is danceing to her own drum. He says be the captain of your ship..dont care what others do, guide your own dam ship.

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.

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.
