This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
As you're falling down,(falling down)
(As you're falling down)
My heart beats the same,(beats the same)
And the tears now,(tears now)
(And the tears now)
Run down your face,
If you had class you'd throw down with me,
Drown in your fake personality,
Shattered glass and frames,
(Shattered glass and frames)
Snapshots of reality,
Burned pictures and memories,
Your heart's cold and grey,
[Chorus:]
To whom it may concern,
(You stayed the same,[x3])
I'm the same,
And all that I've learned,
(You stayed the same,[x3])
Has faded away,
Can you tell me,
All the lies that you have told,
All the lies that you have said?
So keep on lying,
(Just keep on lying to me)
I find less beauty in life then death,
If you had class you'd throw down with me,
Drown in your fake personality,
Shattered glass and frames,
(Shattered glass and frames)
Snapshots of reality,
Burned pictures and memories,
Your heart's cold and grey,
[Chorus]
(I know you,)The blood still stains,
(I know why,)Don't feel the same,
As you're falling down,(falling down)
(As you're falling down)
My heart beats the same,
And the tears now,(tears now)
(And the tears now)
Run down your face,
[Chorus]
To whom it may concern,
(You stayed the same,[x3])
(Can you tell me?)
I'm the same,
And all that I've learned,
(You stayed the same,[x3])
(As you're falling down)
Has faded away, away.
(As you're falling down)
My heart beats the same,(beats the same)
And the tears now,(tears now)
(And the tears now)
Run down your face,
If you had class you'd throw down with me,
Drown in your fake personality,
Shattered glass and frames,
(Shattered glass and frames)
Snapshots of reality,
Burned pictures and memories,
Your heart's cold and grey,
[Chorus:]
To whom it may concern,
(You stayed the same,[x3])
I'm the same,
And all that I've learned,
(You stayed the same,[x3])
Has faded away,
Can you tell me,
All the lies that you have told,
All the lies that you have said?
So keep on lying,
(Just keep on lying to me)
I find less beauty in life then death,
If you had class you'd throw down with me,
Drown in your fake personality,
Shattered glass and frames,
(Shattered glass and frames)
Snapshots of reality,
Burned pictures and memories,
Your heart's cold and grey,
[Chorus]
(I know you,)The blood still stains,
(I know why,)Don't feel the same,
As you're falling down,(falling down)
(As you're falling down)
My heart beats the same,
And the tears now,(tears now)
(And the tears now)
Run down your face,
[Chorus]
To whom it may concern,
(You stayed the same,[x3])
(Can you tell me?)
I'm the same,
And all that I've learned,
(You stayed the same,[x3])
(As you're falling down)
Has faded away, away.

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."
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
ronnie is talkin about the post hardcore scene gettin big and now u have all these fake scene kids but he has been the same since the beginning
Ahhh, I LOVE Escape The Fate. Discovered them from MySpace and bought their EP off iTunes. I've had it on repeat for some time now. =P
I think these lyrics are mostly correct. I just keep hearing: "To Whom It May Concern, I'm the same. And all that I've learned has faded away." Not "You stayed the same."
And I think they're saying "Can you tell me all the lies that you have said" not "All the lies that you have told". Not sure, though. Maybe I'm not hearing things right. -shrug-
I think this song is saying how everyone is changing and no one is how they used to be, acting like someone else with their "fake personalities".
no your right
I think what it's supposed to be is
"To whom it may concern: [You've stayed the same, you've stayed the same] I'm the same
And all that I've learned [You've stayed the same, you've stayed the same] Has fade away"
& they're coming to me this thursday. my friend's band is opening for them. :]

i actually copied that from their oldold website when tehy only had that demo of the song. it may have changed i'm not sure

As you're falling down,(falling down) (As you're falling down) My heart beats the same,(beats the same) And the tears now,(tears now) (And the tears now) Run down your face,
If you had class you'd throw down with me, Drown in your fake personality, Shattered glass and frames, (Shattered glass and frames) Snapshots of reality, Burned pictures and memories, Your heart's cold and grey,
[Chorus:] To whom it may concern, (You stayed the same,[x3]) I'm the same, And all that I've learned, (You stayed the same,[x3]) Has faded away,
Can you tell me, All the lies that you have told, All the lies that you have said? So keep on lying, (Just keep on lying to me) I find less beauty in life then death,
If you had class you'd throw down with me, Drown in your fake personality, Shattered glass and frames, (Shattered glass and frames) Snapshots of reality, Burned pictures and memories, Your heart's cold and grey,
[Chorus]
(I know you,)The blood still stains, (I know why,)Don't feel the same,
As you're falling down,(falling down) (As you're falling down) My heart beats the same, And the tears now,(tears now) (And the tears now) Run down your face,
[Chorus]
To whom it may concern, (You stayed the same,[x3]) (Can you tell me?) I'm the same, And all that I've learned, (You stayed the same,[x3]) (As you're falling down) Has faded away, away.
