Look how you've grown,
it's etched in skin and bone,
dressed in make-up
and bleached out in the roses.

That¹s hollow and tasteless,
where spirits make love and pretty corpses hold their brides.

Do you know I'd never hurt you?
(I loved you so much, we are not broken, we are deathless.)
So taste it and we will never be alone,
I¹ll take the first bite,
yeah, I am Ghost,
say goodnight to you,
my darling, my darling.

Few words can kill me,
they inspire in your hands!
The sun outside these glass-shaped walls
will burn the flesh off paper dolls,
my lips and tongue they bleed...
We won¹t fall, we¹ll be together,
just the two of us.

That¹s hollow and breathless,
it kills me slowly,
I¹m lost and lonely!

Do you know I'd never hurt you?
(I loved you so much, we are not broken, we are deathless.)
So taste it and we will never be alone,
I¹ll take the first bite,
yeah, I am Ghost,
say goodnight to you,
my darling, my darling.

I am so sorry,
so take this rose
take this rose
and break this bottle of aged pills,
taste the blue ones
and we will sleep through December.
Awake to the birth of an Angel,
she has your eyes,
and I will hide them, don't worry.
And soon she will grow,
I can¹t believe this is all my fault,
yeah, soon she will grow,
unbury me, and put me back together again.

Taste it!
Sad rose for life
because I am already dead!

So taste it and we will never be alone,
I¹ll take the first bite,
yeah, I am Ghost,
say goodnight to you,
my darling, my darling.

So taste it and we will never be alone,
I¹ll take the first bite,
yeah, I am Ghost,
say goodnight to you,
my darling, my darling.

    because the album is about the war between an angel and vampire falling in love, and how they fight to be together, i think the part that says: "Awake to the birth of an Angel, she has your eyes, and I will hide them, don't worry. And soon she will grow, I can�t believe this is all my fault, yeah, soon she will grow,"

    means that they have a baby, thats an angel like her father, but they know that the devil/vampires/other angels will want her killed, like they want to kill her parents, so he says he will hide her away and she will grow up and live. i'm not too sure about the rest other then what everyone else has said :/

    Yes, they have a record label. You never hear about them on TV because the only channel where "music" is discussed is MTV, and MTV fucking sucks and never plays ANYTHING, unless it's so huge it can't be ignored anymore.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

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.
