It's hit or miss upon the gate walls
Are the guards asleep bayonet and all
Are the searchlights coming
We built this tunnel
We shovel with our hands

Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Library laundromats
Inside the dirty sheets
Dig just a little bit

Soup kitchen feeds
Lines of stubble and marrow
A book of matches guides us home
Do they have our scent will we go home
We shovel with our hands

Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Library laundromat
Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Library laundromat
Live just a little bit
Dakota fields will beg
Meet you on the other side
Dig just a little bit

They steamed rolled past the lobby
Did you trip on your shoelace untied
It's in the past and now we toast

Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Live just a little bit
Dakota fields will beg
Meet you on the other side
Winnepeg's a forest
Where the search and seizure hid

Wanted for the crime of the disease that you give

    "this song is about why ATDI sucks. They were all sitting at home and and one of said" Damn! we suck". And the rest were like yeah. so they wrote a song. and it sucked."-TheMadLiteralist

    quoted for being blatantly wrong. Awesome song, but i don't see how it could be about anarchy.

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."

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.

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.
