This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's over, look out below
And I'm wasted, I still taste it
Yeah, it's so hard to let go
Breathe in now, and breathe it out
The forecast, a car crash
It's looking like another breakdown, rebound
This could be my last goodbye
You cross your heart, I hope to die
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
No rewinds, no second times
And I won't break, I won't waste
Everything you left behind
Don't follow, just let it go
The weather's been better
Don't let it be another breakdown, rebound
This could be my last goodbye
You cross your heart, I hope to die
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
All the nights spent sitting at home
When you were out there on your own
All the nights waited by the phone
When you were going in alone
And all your different faces
And all your different ways
Are making everything a mess
And all I'm saying is that
I have different places and
All the complications led to this
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
(Never loved at all)
And I'm wasted, I still taste it
Yeah, it's so hard to let go
Breathe in now, and breathe it out
The forecast, a car crash
It's looking like another breakdown, rebound
This could be my last goodbye
You cross your heart, I hope to die
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
No rewinds, no second times
And I won't break, I won't waste
Everything you left behind
Don't follow, just let it go
The weather's been better
Don't let it be another breakdown, rebound
This could be my last goodbye
You cross your heart, I hope to die
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
All the nights spent sitting at home
When you were out there on your own
All the nights waited by the phone
When you were going in alone
And all your different faces
And all your different ways
Are making everything a mess
And all I'm saying is that
I have different places and
All the complications led to this
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
(Never loved at all)

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
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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I can't stop listening to this song ..... .....
great song, but two tenative corrections.
"Don't let it be another" instead of "So let it be another"
and "All your different faces and all the complications led to this" instead of "I have different places and all the complications end today"
not sure but thats what i think haha.
i think this song is also about losing someone and regretting ever even taking the chance.
I'm pretty sure it's 'threw' not 'feel'
And I think that it is:
All the nights spent sitting at home When you were out there on your own All the nights waited by the phone When you were going in alone And all your different faces And all your different ways Are making everything a mess And all I'm saying is that I have different places and All the complications led to this
Haha thanks for the edits guys. I tend to do these at like one in the morning, so that's probably why it was all messed up.
And I agree that it's about losing someone and regretting ever trying to have a relationship with them in the first place.
yep i agree with the meaning - aw this song is actually really sad lol. it sounds like he's still hung up over his ex in the chorus part.
nonetheless, this song is amazing and i love the album.
i think this is song is about a guy who liked a girl and she didn't like him/was planning to dump him & the guy kind of saw what was coming, but after it happened he was really hurt.
ya break-up song. but i've noticed its got a killers feel to it... if you listen to the music... not the words you know. hah just an observation
the killers?? NO WAY.
but anyway....this is one of my faves. in agreeance with everyone, it is a break up song. one of my faves on the album.
Alfred Lord Tennyson first said, in his poem In Memorium, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Just wanted to piont that out. I think this is one of my favorite songs by BLG.
