This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Come out angels
Come out ghosts
Come out darkness
Bring everyone you know
I'm not running
And I'm not scared
I am waiting and well prepared
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's no where to run away
I've got a hammer
And a heart of glass
I got to know right now
Which walls to smash
I got a pocket
Got no pills
If fear hasn't killed me yet
Then nothing will
All the suffering
And all the pain
Never left a name, oh
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's nowhere to run
I'm in the war of my life
At the core of my life
Got no choice but to fight 'till it's done
No more suffering
No more pain
Never again
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's no where to run
I'm in the war of my life
I'm at the core of my life
Got no choice but to fight 'till it's done
So fight on (I won't give up)
Fight on everyone, (I won't run)
Fight on (I won't stop for anyone)
Got no choice but to fight 'till it's done
Fight on (I won't give up)
Fight on everyone (I won't run)
Fight on (I won't stop for anyone
Got no choice but to fight 'till it's done
So fight on (I won't give up)
Fight on
Come out ghosts
Come out darkness
Bring everyone you know
I'm not running
And I'm not scared
I am waiting and well prepared
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's no where to run away
I've got a hammer
And a heart of glass
I got to know right now
Which walls to smash
I got a pocket
Got no pills
If fear hasn't killed me yet
Then nothing will
All the suffering
And all the pain
Never left a name, oh
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's nowhere to run
I'm in the war of my life
At the core of my life
Got no choice but to fight 'till it's done
No more suffering
No more pain
Never again
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's no where to run
I'm in the war of my life
I'm at the core of my life
Got no choice but to fight 'till it's done
So fight on (I won't give up)
Fight on everyone, (I won't run)
Fight on (I won't stop for anyone)
Got no choice but to fight 'till it's done
Fight on (I won't give up)
Fight on everyone (I won't run)
Fight on (I won't stop for anyone
Got no choice but to fight 'till it's done
So fight on (I won't give up)
Fight on

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."
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think that this song is about living life. Maybe you're going through a rough time right now. But you know you just have to try...
Sounds like he has been backed into a corner, forced to face the scariest thing he has ever had to face. Something he has prepared for the best he can, even though he is preparing for something he has never really faced. A new chapter in his life that is a uncharted territory. Fear of the unknown. Facing it with a fragile heart easily shattered as if made of glass.

Great song. It just hit me that these lyrics:
I got a pocket Got no pill If fear hasn't killed me yet Than nothing will
Are in reference to his anxiety disorder that he used to have. I guess he still carries a pocket of anxiety pills with him at all times just in case he has a breakdown. Very deep.
Oh..I didn't know he had an anxiety disorder. that makes much more sense.
Great song. I feel like this song is about one of those moments just before one of those moments where you know that your demons are going to catch up with you and being ready for the good and bad that comes along with that...
Come out angels Come out ghosts Come out darkness Bring everyone you know
I'm not running And I'm not scared I am waiting and well prepared
The 'war of life' is having a bunch of these demons who are constantly nipping at your back and facing them with the strength of having overcome them in the past...
I got a pocket Got no pills If fear hasn't killed me yet Then nothing will
This is a powerful song. I think what's important to keep in mind is that the song is called 'War of my Life' not 'Way of my Day' to really appreciate it. Among his best work in my opinion.
Sounds like he is backed into a corner and forced to face the scariest thing he has ever had to face. Something he has prepared for even though it is uncharted territory. Not afraid of the past and terrified of the future. Waiting for the inevitable when life comes to a crossroad. He seems to be in a war with himself. His heart is fragile and easily shattered, as if made of glass.

Wow thank you ruserious. I agree though. I feel like the lyrics are very simple, but also very strong. I think that the hammer stanza and the pocket stanza are the best in the song. "If fear hasn't killed me yet/Nothing will."
I listened to the radio cast John Mayer did earlier this week on Sophie's show, and he debuted the whole album, song by song. About this one, he said he wanted to write a song about overcoming fears, so I think it's a testimony to how you're terrified to move forward, but you know that you've made it this far and you've just got to keep going, even though you aren't entirely sure where you're going (line re: I've got a hammer, but which walls to smash?) Like, there's a ton of uncertainty, but you've got faith in your self and your abilities, so overall there's a positive tone.
Hi elsasparklesa, Thanks a lot for telling us about Sophie's show, <br /> Great song,there's a great emotion behind all the songs of Battle Studies! awesome songwritig!

I enjoy te moment when i hear John singing:
"If fear hasn't killed me yet Then nothing will"
Yes..that's the best line!
If you have followed John from day one, this song will make a lot of sense. He's done with running, hiding, he's finally realizing that he's gotta keep going with whatever emotion it is that he's feeling. He's a deep soul- he feel a lot and I think he's just done with wasting his time hurting. He's accepting his past and his current emotions. It's a fantastic breath of fresh air..
