The Wallflowers - Three Ways

Good song by The Wallflowers. My interpretation, either you do it of you don’t’, stop messing around and get it done.

There's three ways out of every box
Fall out the bottom, or you crawl out the top
There's three ways, Out of every, every box
But if you can't find your way out
The you just burn it to the ground
Then you'll disappear
Like smoke
Into the clouds

There's three ways off a merry-go-round
You either jump, Or you let it slow down
There's three ways Off a merry-go, merry-go-round
But if you can't put your foot down
Then you just burn it to the ground
Then you walk away
Real slow
Back into the crowd

There's always somebody there for a laugh
Then you're the only one that's left
Now that's what you get
Left behind in the wreck

There's three ways off a burning bridge
You pray for rain or you learn how to swim
There's three ways off of every burning bridge
But if you can't find the strength and you quit
Then you can just burn up and sink
Then you'll drift away
Real slow
Down into the ground

The Rain Band - Knee Deep and Down

Great song. Don't know much about the band because they don't exist anymore. Did give their album a listen, looks pretty good.

Jars of Clay - Dead Man/Carry me

Love this song by Jars of Clay. To me its about getting up and doing something. Don't let the world get you down, and strive to achieve something bigger that just yourself.

Lyrics

I've got a lot of things on my mind.
I'm looking at my body,through a new spy sattelite.
I try to lift a finger, but I don't think I can make the call.
So tell me if I move, 'cause I don't feel anything at all.

Oh, oh, oh...

So carry me!
I'm just a dead man, lying on the carpet, can't find a heartbeat.
Make me breathe!
I wanna be a new man, I'm tired of the old one; off with the old plan.

I woke up from my dream,about an empty funeral.
But it was better than the party,full of people I don't really know.
Well, they've got hearts to break and burn, dirty hands to feel the earth.
I've got something in my veins,but I can't seem to make it work......won't work.

So carry me!
I'm just a dead man, lying on the carpet, can't find a heartbeat.
Make me breathe!
I wanna be a new man, I'm tired of the old one; off with the old plan.

Can you find a beat... Inside of me?
Any pulse? Getting worse...
Any pulse? Getting worse...
Inside of me... Can you find a beat?

Carry me!

I'm just a dead man, lying on the carpet, can't find a heartbeat.
Make me breathe!
I wanna be a new man, I'm tired of the old one; off with the old plan.

Carry me! (Carry me!)
I'm just a dead man, lying on the carpet, can't find a heartbeat.
Make me breathe! (Make me breathe!)
I wanna be a new man, I'm tired of the old one; off with the old plan.

Meaning: This is a song about waking up to the greater conversation about life and justice, and the realities that we are implicated in the sufferings and joys of a global community. We need to be rescued from the trivia that keeps us blinded to our role in changing the world and paralyzed to act against our complacency. (Dan Haseltine; lead singer of Jars of Clay; Found in WOW Hits 2007 cover booklet)

MuteMath - The Fight (Live)

“The Fight” Great song about perseverance. MuteMath originally wrote it after Hurricane Katrina and recently released it after performing it at a benefit concert for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Enjoy
