I Know Somethin' ('bout You)

Alice in Chains

Why can't I take it all okay?
I like to dig and fuck around with your day
I'm gonna tell your mama
Yeh I'm gonna blackball your name
Ain't now way you'll go without me
Every chance I'll make you pay

On your face, in my space
I tell you I know somethin' 'bout you
I know somethin'
In my space, on your face
I tell you I know somethin' 'bout you
I know somethin'

Why can't I put your words away
I'd like to have more of you in my veins
I'm gonna tell your papa
Yeh, I'm gonna try and ball your babe
Your gold key don't fit my crapper
Ain't got no shit today

On your face, in my space
I tell you I know somethin' 'bout you
I know somethin'
In my space, on your face
I tell you I know somethin' 'bout you
I know somethin'
On your face, in my space
I tell you I know somethin' 'bout you
I know somethin'
In my space, on your face
I tell you I know somethin' 'bout you
I know somethin'

I'm gonna tell your mama
Yeh, I'm gonna blackball your name
Ain't no way you'll go without me
Every chance I'll make you pay

On your face, in my space
I tell you I know somethin' 'bout you
I know somethin'
In my space, on your face
I tell you I know somethin' 'bout you
I know somethin'
On your face, in my space
I tell you I know somethin' 'bout you
I know somethin'
In my space, on your face
I tell you I know somethin' 'bout you
I know somethin'

    The Real Thing is more about taking coke to be honest.

    This song is just about having a problem with someone and not about an ex girlfriend. Other wise he wouldnt threaten to ball this persons babe....

    How about we read the lyrics then make judgement.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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/

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.
