Well you keep coming up to me
You keep saying that it's up to me
You ain't nothing but a true embrace
You ain't nothing but a hidden face
And you're looking fair enough to me
You just see what you want to see
I want to know if you really care
I want to take you way down there
And stand in the rain and get you wet
You say you love me but not quite yet
I want to go out there to an open space
Those tears to cry and show your face
Oh I'm so soaked to the skin
Yeah I'm so soaked to the skin
You want to talk about the weather
Saturation is a point
There's nothing left you know
Nowhere left for me to hide
Nothing left but still alive
To face it all and here today
There's nothing left in you and me
And I can't show you this inside
If all you want to do is hide
I want to take you out and get you wet
You say you love me but not quite yet
I want to go out there to a sheltered place
Those tears to cry and show your face
Oh I'm so soaked to the skin
Yeah I'm so soaked to the skin
You want to talk about the weather
Sheltered from tomorrow
As though it may never come
You hide behind a wall of stone
And then you fell you're not alone
So face it all it's here today
You love me in your sheltered way
And I can't hold you in my hands
And talk about these hidden charms
I want to take them
You want to talk about the weather
Oh I'm so soaked to the skin
Yeah I'm so soaked to the skin
You want to talk about the weather

    Wow No comments? Haven't everyone felt this way before.

    Picture Yourself with someone. Something in the relationship is going on. You both know it. you both feel it. However No word of it. You are dying to speak of it. however the other person isn't showing any signal of it what so ever. pretending it's not happening because they are to scared to deal with it. or just don't know how to. so they pretend it's not happening, but he feels it too.

    instead of saying whats on the mind, thats killing you inside. you talk about the weather.

    casual talk. is a cop out.

    I am so soaked to the skin.

    You see me here. fucking dying to get something out of you.

    and you slap me in the face.

    "talk about the weather"

    this song is so sad.

    This song is about unrequited love. To those who like this song and it's meaning I recommend the "Boy Meets Girl" by Leos Carax, which was released at the same time as this record.

    A relationship without any conflict isn't going to work.

Little Feat
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”

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."
