What's happening to me
I'm dying from the inside
Body hurts too much to feel
And pressure adds to pain
Deliver us from evil
Straying out of sanity

Why can't you let me be?
Is nothing else important?
Does my mind mean more to you?
'Cause if I carry on
Deliver us from evil
Screaming for your vanity

Will darkness turn to light?
Will darkness turn to light?
Can someone wake me from this nightmare?

Here we go
Here we go

The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering, a passion ending
So the world ceases turning
The tank is empty; let it dry

So now I hope you see
I'm nothing more than human
Making plans for enemies
But here we go again
Deliver us from evil
Crawling back to insanity

Will darkness turn to light?
Will darkness turn to light?
Can someone wake me from this nightmare?

Here we go
Here we go

The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering, a passion ending
So the world ceases turning
The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering, a passion ending
So the world ceases turning
The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering

What's happening to me
I'm dying from the inside
Body hurts too much to feel
And pressure adds to pain
Deliver us from evil
Through evil
Pressure adds to pain
We're evil
We're evil
We're evil

Will darkness turn to light?
Will darkness turn to light?
Can someone wake me from this nightmare?

Here we go
Here we go

The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering

The tank is empty; let it dry
I'm suffering
A passion ending so the world ceases turning
A passion ending so the world ceases turning

    Bullet played an awesome concert here in Spokane last week and before playing this song, Matt said this song was very personal to him and it was about when he needed to get vocal chord surgery.

    Yeah I saw them the first gig of the tour last year in Brighton and Matt said it's about "all the shit" him and the guys have been through "in the past year" with his vocal chords and that. But it's awesome he's still able to sing... even though they say he'd play guitar and they'd just get another vocalist, it wouldn't be the same.

    I must have listened to this at least 10 times over to transcribe the lyrics and yet I still 'aint totally sure what it is about. Lol.

    I have some abstract ideas. I imagine it is about feeling heart-broken. That is all I can say for certain at the moment.

    Anyone else?

    It's mainly about matt's problems with his voice, about how people were treating him and how noone beleived him when he'd say that he wasnt feeling well etc

    moorsim you're right it seems like it... A lot of expectations and too much pressure

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

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.
