If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
'Cause right now on earth I can't do jack
Without the man up on my back

Now heaven would be a DJ
Spinning dub all night long
And Heaven would be just kickin' back
With Jesus packing my bong
And if you don't believe in Jesus and Mohammed or Buddha too
And while the world is warring
We'll just sit back and laugh at you
Singing

If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
'Cause right now on earth I can't do jack
Without the man up on my back

Now when most people think of heaven
They see those pearly gates
But I looked a little closer
And there's a sign that says "Do Not Skate"
So if you wanna come to my heaven
Well we're all gonna have a ball
And everyone you know is welcome
'Cause we got no gates or walls
Singing

If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
'Cause right now on Earth I can't do shit
Without the man fucking with it

And then I got to the gate
Pulled out a list that I'd been calling fate
I'm sorry friend you can't come in
You gotta a list here that doesn't end
You're mad 'cause I smoke dope
You teaching any classes in how to cope
I'll find a place to rest my head
I'd rather be alone now that I'm dead
Like Christian Hossoi way back in 87'
We'll be busting Christ air's until we get to Heaven
You think I really care that I miss my Biology
Got my education in stale fishology
With all your rules you gots to chill
I'm gonna twist out like Mike McGill
I'm gonna twist out 'cause I got the skillz
I'm gonna twist out 'cause I got the skillz (got the skillz, got the skillz)

Heaven is a halfpipe

If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
'Cause right now on earth I can't do jack
Without the man up on my back (Heaven is a halfpipe)

If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate (Heaven is a halfpipe)
'Cause right now on earth I can't do shit
Without the man fucking with it

If I die before I wake (If I die before I wake)
At least in heaven I can skate (Heaven is a halfpipe)
'Cause right now on earth I can't do jack ('Cause right now on earth I can't do jack)
Without the man fucking with it

If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate (I don't care, no I don't care)
'Cause right now on earth I can't do shit (I don't care, I don't care)
Without the man fucking with it (I don't care, I don't care)

If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
'Cause right now on earth I can't do shit

    Great song... pretty damn humorous. I played it for my friend though, and he was like, "How do you listen to this crap?" But then again that's him, over reacting because they are making a little fun of heaven...

    Hey, nobody's seen heaven and lived to tell about it... That may be what heaven's like. I sure hope so anyway.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“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.
