Living a lie, let's not pretend -
That you like me, or we are friends
We can call it for the few that are listening tonight
We'll divide the dream, cut the loss
Feel no pain - You can f*** the fame
You can f*** the fame!
For the ones that are listening...
(chorus)
All this time that I called you FRIEND!
I won't be there for you again
All this time that I called you FRIEND!
I won't be there for you again
You're future's bleak, you better save your skin
It's that flesh you smell - It's that skin you're in
You're soul is rotting as well as your inners -
Your mind and teeth, they're getting thinner
Selfish, Self-sustaining
Regrets, Unmistaking
F*** the fame, you can f*** the fame
For the ones who are listening...
All this time that I called you FRIEND!
I won't be there for you again
All this time that I called you FRIEND!
I won't be there for you again
SLEEP WELL, SLEEP TIGHT
You know this song is about you, don't you?
All this time that I called you FRIEND!
I won't be there for you again
All this time that I called you FRIEND!
I won't be there for you again

    This song is awesome. It's a good way to tell your old "friends" to fuck off after you've lost interest in them. Almost like Rowboat is good for telling chicks to get out. :)

    I feel this song is directed towards Meegs. It was very clear, they didn't like each other, and they didn't like working together. Dez is telling Meegs his plans on leaving, which he did.

    dez obviously does not give a fuck about keeping any secrets, like meegs' meth addiction...

    "Your Mind and Teeth Are getting thinner..."

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”

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/

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.
