Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out.
Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out of here.

Believe me, I'm just as lost as you.
Believe me, yeah, I'm just as lost as you.

And everytime I think I've finally made it,
I learn I'm farther away than I have ever been before.
I see the clock and it's ticking away.
And the hourglass empty, what the fuck do I have to say?

Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out.
Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out of here.

Believe me, I'm just as lost as you.
Believe me, yeah, I'm just as lost as you.

Keep it inside, the image portrayed.
As if I couldn't stand losing.
As if I couldn't be saved, no way.
A small confession, I think I'm starting to lose it.
I think I'm drifting away from the people I really need.
A small reflection of when we were younger,
we had it all figured out, cause we had everything covered.
But now we're older, it's getting harder to see.
What this future will hold for us, what the fuck are we going to be?

Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out.
Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out of here.

Believe me, I'm just as lost as you.
Believe me, yeah, I'm just as lost, as you.

Lost, lost, lost, lost, lost, lost, lost.
I'm just as lost as you, oh well, what am I going to do?

I'm afraid I'm falling farther away,
falling farther away, falling far from where I want to be.
I'm afraid I'm falling farther away,
falling farther away, falling farther away!

Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out.
Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out of here.

Believe me, I'm just as lost as you.
Believe me, I'm just as lost as you!
I'm breaking down!
I'm just as lost as you!
I'm breaking down!

    My Interpretation

    It's about having your computer freeze on you where you can't get in or out of the program that has become nonresponsive. You're just stuck there until it starts responding again.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,
