Well it's been a long hot road I've been upon
Through the desert of your soul
I've looked high and low for water
But it's not there, no no

And all the promises of springtime
Turned to lies, so cold
But I'm stronger than you know
And I've come to let you go

Go eat your heart out
You've been a bad, bad girl
You've been hungry all of your life
So eat it out

I've been a prisoner just locked away
Inside your velvet jail it don't matter at all
Some things can grow without the light, alright

Spinning cages for her pleasure
Weaving chains to hold the prize
Magic moments with the jailer
All on fire, and then he dies

Eat your heart out
You've been a bad, bad girl
You've been hungry all of your life yeah

Speed across emotions
And then we lose our hold
We move on wings of passion
That we can't control

And all the promises of springtime
Turned to lies, so cold
But I'm stronger than you know
And I've come to let you go

Go eat your heart out
You've been a bad, bad girl
You've been hungry all of your life
So eat it out

Eat your heart out
You've been a bad, bad girl
You've been hungry all of your life
So eat it out

Eat your heart out
Run to the shadows and hide
Eat your heart out
Spinning cages for her pleasure
Weaving chains to hold the prize
Magic moments with the jailer
All on fire, and then he dies, then he dies

    Really? no comments? well i guess it's pretty self-explanatory, it's about finding the stones needed to get out of an abusive manipulative one-sided relationship.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
