(Ah, Erica Kane)
Erica Kane

She's back on the streets, a fee for the night
Fill you with grief, she cuts like a knife
Make you do things that no others could do
She turn a professor into a fool

Oh, she ain't hard to get, the girl gets around
Those that she met, they're destined to drown (to drown)
She'll make you change like you'd never believe
She turn a working man into a thief
Oh

She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (she's Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (yo, yo)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica (she's Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)

Oh, back on the block she's at it again
She'll be your friend as long as you spend
I know she's torn whole families apart
She'll shoot a poison arrow straight through your heart

Oh, this is the day for Erica Kane
There's nothing to lose, none for her to gain (none to gain)
She'll make a honest man steal from his folks
And drain a millionaire until he go broke, oh

She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (yo, yo) (hey, baby)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica (she's Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)

She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (ooh)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (she's Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (I wanna tell somebody)
(Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (yo, yo) (about Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (yeah, yeah)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane) (oh, yeah)

I really don't think you should mess around
(I really wish that you wouldn't mess around)
'Cause all she'll do
(All that she can do is bring you down) oh, yeah
And there's nothing for you to gain
(There's nothing to gain)
And she goes by this name

She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (yeah)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (do you hear me? What I'm sayin'?)
(Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (yo, yo) (yeah)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica (she's Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)

She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica (yo, yo)
She's Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica, Erica
She's Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane)

(Erica Kane)
(Erica Kane)

    I love this song! but yeah i do think its about the character Erica Kane on the soap "all my children"

    the character is very sudictive, persuasive, with only slef-success intentions...that it maybe Aaliyah liked the soap and wanted to sing about this famous lady/character

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
