You claim your innocence, but I blame your reticence
For why I never knew no, never knew how you play.
One love has two equal parts, but you leave your love with your mark
On your unfortunate prey.
But there is no excuse,
I don't like being used. And someday it's gonna get back to you.

You're so predictable man. You hit the ground and you ran.
Ran as if I, if I could chase you.
But your dear delectable prize 'neath your near electrical skies
Is damn near disappointment at most.
I didn't know I paid for merely a masquerade.
So I want my money back , hey.

You're sorry that you hurt me so bad
Sorry if I thought you were madly in love
You only just pretend to start something that you can end.
Sorry you're addicted to cruel
Sorry has nothing to do with you
Go on play your games cause I'm sorry I'm too good for you anyways.

How is it up on your high horse
You know we miss you of course
But if a moment ever rolls around you may be interested in looking down
Cause you're not so far from the ground
I was a fool for you but you were foolish too. And fools never get the last laugh

You're sorry that you hurt me so bad
Sorry if I thought you were madly in love
You only just pretend to start something that you can end.
Sorry you're addicted to cruel
Sorry has nothing to do with you
Go on play your games cause I'm sorry I'm too good for you anyways.

You were an open book, but after a second look
I realized I was wasting my time.
I know how the story goes and everyone looks for a hero
And here we are one at a time, standing in line to tell you you're not mine.
But you're sorry

You're sorry that you hurt me so bad
Sorry if I thought you were madly in love
You only just pretend to start something that you can end.
Sorry you're addicted to cruel
Sorry has nothing to do with you
Go on play your games cause I'm sorry I'm too good for you anyways.

    I love this song. It just sums up what I want to say to a certain someone.

    It's about someone that led you on then let you go, said they never liked you anyway, he faked it ("i didn't know i paid for merely a masquerade") and she's sarcastically saying "sorry if I thought you were madly in love". it's about someone who manipulates people, tricks them, lies and uses them to make themselves feel better. So she's realised she's too good for him anyway, and she's telling him.

    Best line: "But there is no excuse, I don't like being used...and someday it's gonna get back to you." Oh yes it is. Oh, and "I was a fool for you but you were foolish too. And fools never get the last laugh."

    She needs to do a studio verson of this song it's too good!

    So, yeah. Though the song is self explanatory. Writing this all out, helped me realize things myself.

    Too good for you He calims his innoncence, but he only seems that way because he appears to be mysterious by his lack of communication, and a person like that is always hard to figure out. So, it's like you're always playing a game, even when it seems like you 'have' the person because you're together, you still haven't pinned them down. Which, normally always keeps one coming back for more.

    "One love has two equal parts", but uforunately the person is just a victim to 'the game'/ the chase of figuring the other out, or believing the other shares the same type of heart. That's the only way to really make it work.

    There is no excuse for how he went on about it, but what goes around comes around and it's going to bite him in the ass.

    It was forseen that when the shit hit the fan and he would run from the affectionate feeling. But she's not going to chase him, because the prize of winning his heart, is basically almost not even really worth the drama.

    One would want to get to know the REAL person, and not merely what the pretend to be in order to 'get' the person, instead of being real from the start, so that they may evolve into something more and true.

    She's sorry that she mistook his feelings as being the same as hers. He only pretended that he liked/loved her to get a prize, and if all didn't work out he would be the one to break it off. So, in the end it's like he's still the winner. She's sorry he's addicted to being this way, so crueal and misleading. Bt he can go on and play his games, because she knows that she's better off and can do so much better.

    The guy has a chip on his shoulder; the world doesn't revolve around him as much as he'd like to think it does. So she tells him, that they of course miss him and when it's fit to his schedule to come back down to earth; it's in his best interest to open his eyes and see things as they really are, because things aren't what they seem, or even people, in this case I suppose.

    She admits she was foolish, but knows that she wasn't alone in being a fool for him. Thus, he isn't the true winner in this game, since she has realized her mistake.

    In plain he's not as complicated as he once appeared. Once again, she has realized that she was wasting her time. And to those even before her, they're realizing their worth and that they're just too good for ihim, so it isn't much of a loss.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
