(216)

FILTH UNDER THE FINGERNAILS
LIES DISGUISE THE QUEEN
TRUTH CORRUPTS THE KING
BRINGS THE KINGDOM TO ITS KNEES
THESE PIPES ARE RUSTED
PAINT PEELING PORTRAIT
THE BLOOD
THE SNOT
THESE THOUGHTS THEY ALL DRAIN
GOT TO GIVE THEM EVERYTHING
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
THESE PIPES ARE RUSTED
PAINT PEELING PORTRAIT
THE BLOOD
THE SNOT
THESE THOUGHTS THEY ALL DRAIN
GOT TO GIVE THEM EVERYTHING
ALL THE MORE TO THROW BACK AT YOU
THERES NO WAY TO WIN
THERES NO WAY OUT
ITS TIME AGAIN
THE TARGETS ON MY HEAD
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
FILTH UNDER THE FINGERNAILS
LIES DISGUISE THE QUEEN
TRUTH CORRUPTS THE KING
BRINGS THE KINGDOM TO ITS KNEES
YOURE BETTER WHEN YOURE NOTHING
PEOPLE FEEL BETTER NEXT TO NOTHING
AS SOON AS YOU GOT SOMETHING
ITS TIME TO KNOCK YOU DOWN
THERES NO WAY TO WIN
THERES NO WAY OUT
ITS TIME AGAIN
THE TARGETS ON MY HEAD
THERES NO WAY TO WIN
THERES NO WAY OUT
ITS TIME AGAIN
THE TARGETS ON MY HEAD
THERES NO WAY TO WIN
THERES NO WAY OUT
ITS TIME AGAIN
THE TARGETS ON MY HEAD
THERES NO WAY TO WIN
THERES NO WAY OUT
ITS TIME AGAIN
THE TARGETS ON MY HEAD (YOU)
FILTH UNDER THE FINGERNAILS
LIES DISGUISE THE QUEEN
TRUTH CORRUPTS THE KING
BRINGS THE KINGDOM TO ITS KNEES
YOURE BETTER WHEN YOURE NOTHING
PEOPLE FEEL BETTER NEXT TO NOTHING
AS SOON AS YOU GOT SOMETHING
ITS TIME TO KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN

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.

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."

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.
