i write you these words
i’ll sing you this song
i’ll make up these notes
i’ll play along

and there’s nothing to assume
i’ll steal you stars but you want the moon
and you hear the call

i’ll never be wrong
you’ll never agree
i’m just what you want
but now you see

and there’s nothing to assume
i’ll steal you stars but you want the moon
and you hear the call
you don’t fear the jump but your scared to fall
i know that fear
and I’ll hold your hand

I steal
the stars
i lie

and i’ll steal you all that you need
and i run but no one fallows me
and i’ll give all i have to you
and i lie but it is always true
it’s true
it’s true i lie to you i fell for you
it’s true
i lie to you
and to you
i fell for you

and there’s nothing to assume
i’ll steal you stars but you want the moon
and you hear the call
you don’t fear the jump but your scared to fall
i know that fear
and I’ll hold your hand
nothing to assume
i’ll steal you stars when you want the moon
i’ll steal you I’ll steal you I’ll steal you stars

i steal
the stars
i lie

and I’ll steal you stars
and I’ll steal you stars

    I seen Emotep perform live, and its a great experience...to me the song mean that a girl tries everything to let this guy know she would do anything for him...but he just can't see this... with the lyrics "i’ll steal you stars but you want the moon" mean what she has to give just isn't what he wants.

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.
