swallow your eyes
circle the tired
survive
sharing the light we have lost
you might believe
that it was so lost
forcing us down intoanother belief to carry us home
forcing us down into
you wrote the words
that we said so wrong
swallow your rights
sample the sweetness of your life
show me what it means to be free
you might believe
that it was so wrong
forcing us down into
another belief to carry us home
forcing us down into
but you wrote the words
that we said so wrong
I feel like I shed my skin
we've done it this time
we've lost all self control
follow us this time
I wish I could
imprisoned this time
when will the truth be told
follow us this time
I wish I could
you might believe
that it was so wrong
forcing us down into
another belief to carry us home
forcing us down into
but you wrote the words
that we said so wrong
forcing us down into
another disease that's killing us off
so wrong
we're so wrong
I feel like I shed my skin

    This song is about misinterpreting some sort of scripture that has driven an entire lifestyle and therefore the lifestyle or skin needs to be shed to reveal a new beginning

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
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.
