I hurt myself again today
I feel a little numb, I could use the pain
I always find myself in this little bind
It's been a few weeks since you've been around
So here I sit with my hands strapped down
Patiently awaiting our secret games we used to play all alone

So here I sit all tied up
All alone with all my thoughts
I do not mind if this goes on

I think about what I'll say to you
When you finally decide to come my way
I'm sitting around all painted up like a fool
And I don't know how I got this way
And I don't know how much more I wanna take
I know you'll shoot me down and bury me before I get too high

So here I sit all tied up
All alone with all my thoughts
When will I learn to walk away
From the things I do that make me feel the way
I feel when I'm with you?
Tonight it's me, myself, and I

Solitaire

All this pain I seem to put myself through
All the ways I find to submit to you
Cat o' nine tails getting old
And I don't know how I got this way
And I don't know how much more I wanna take
A million ways to tame myself and a million nights to try

So here I sit all tied up
All alone with all my thoughts
When will I learn to walk away
From the things I do that make me feel the way
I feel when I'm with you?
Tonight it's me, myself, and I

When you come around
Do the things you do to me
hate this game of solitaire

    I LOVE this song. You should of heard it here in Sydney, Australia at a free gig they did for Youthfest (in Youthweek). They were SO good. And this song fucking went off. I was in the mosh at the time, and it was the most hectic mosh-pit I have ever been in in my whole life. I was so scared lol but THIS SONG WAS SO AWSOME!

    the songs about heroin addiction! "i always find myself in this little bind" the turniquet. "hands strapped down" fighting to stay away from it. "here i sit all tied up" the turniquet again, "all alone w/ all my thoughts" using drugs is usually done alone. "shoot me down before i get to high" the addiction will get him before he makes too much progress quitting. the song is a metaphor for struggling with heroin (jim cherry was addicted to it). trying to stay clean and giving in to addiction.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
