In Your Skin

-

     In Your Skin was released with the album Smoke and Mirrors in 2010. The song is about three and a half minutes long, and has a really catchy beat, as do most of their songs. In Your Skin seems to be about self-denial, somebody trying to be somebody else.

Throwing stones. breaking bones
Then wonder why you run for cover
You fight the world from inside
Laying down, playing dead
Turn the pages just another
wasted day in your mind

You live to run away
But fear is the hardest act to follow
Let me let you in
Hold on another day 
Face the truth, it's hard to swallow
It's time to begin
There's only one life
In your skin

Wake up, take a breath
Remember why you're even breathing
You're still alive
Give in, give it up
You're the only one believing
In all of your lies

You live to run away
But fear is the hardest act to follow
Let me let you in
Hold on another day 
Face the truth, it's hard to swallow
It's time to begin
There's only one life
In your skin
In your skin

(then follows an epic solo)

You live to run away
But fear is the hardest act to follow
Let me let you in
Hold on another day 
Face the truth, it's hard to swallow
It's time to begin
There's only one life
In your skin
In your skin

Crash and Burn

     Crash and Burn  was released on the bonus disk of the Smoke and Mirrors album, Lifehouse's fifth album.      There are a few different speculations on the meaning of the song, but I believe the most popular, which is that the protagonist is struggling, knowing he's not who he could and should be, and his attempt to change himself for the better. Either way, the song is amazing, with awesome lyrics and great sound. All these nights are catching up to me I just can't put insomnia to sleep I close my eyes but all that I can see Is someone who I'm never gonna be I hope that you can bring me back I gotta make it right And if I fall and crash and burn At least we both know that I tried And as I crawl there's lessons learned Yeah they remind me I survived Yeah yeah yeah Silence just keeps screaming back at me The ones I love are lost in memories And I wish that I could take back what was done You can only change the person you become I have to try and find a way To le

Midnight in Philadelphia

     Midnight in Philadelphia is one of those Lifehouse songs that has a vague name, like Simon, and Better Luck Next Time. It was released in 2005, but not as a part of any albums. There are different opinions on what the song is about. Some people think it's about God, but some of the lyrics suggest otherwise. Others think it's still about lead singer Jason Wade's father leaving his family when they divorced, but I personally think it's about a death. You hear lyrics I know that you are watching me somewhere over the moon shouting down that you love me wondering why I can't hear you.     Either way, Midnight in Philadelphia is a quiet and beautiful song with deep lyrics. Lifehouse as a band was known for their deep and thought-provoking lyrics, which they have in every one of their songs. That's what makes them such a great band. I know what it's like to hide To sit in your room and break down and cry And all I could say was your name I've had my share
