Strapped down and heavy, tied up
And bound
This weight I carry, this weight
I've found
So, let me be the one to say I've
Really had enough

Downfallen on
(Yes, you meant the world to me)
My sweet love
So headstrong
(Are you?)
Strong

One time too many
You've let me down
Won't think what could be
Can' feel much now

Downfallen on
(Yes, you meant the world to me)
My sweet love
So headstrong
(Are you?)
Strong

Does it really meant that much to you,
To hide your fear, to test the way I feel

Watch me fall
Watch me break
Watch me crawl
Watch me throw it all away

I can't believe the things you say, so
Wrong for how I eel this way
I'm sleeping to relieve this strain so...
Calmly, slowly, softly, just let it all
Just drift away

    i'm not trying to bag on earshot or anything, i like the song and all, but they don't really have a very original sound. when i first heard this song, i thought it was tool. there's nothing wrong with it of course, but call it what it is: good, but unoriginal music.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
