This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone
It's not in your music, no
You need a vacation to wake up the cavemen
And take them to Mexico
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
My body's in shambles
Encrusted with brambles
That sharpen the air I breathe
What's on the menu
Jessica can you
Take down my order, please
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
Tomorrow gets closer
A purple bulldozer
Is calling you on the phone
Your love life precedes you
Your son in law feeds you
Injections of cortisone
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone
It's not in your music
So where has it gone?
Then, Jessica
It's not in your music, no
You need a vacation to wake up the cavemen
And take them to Mexico
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
My body's in shambles
Encrusted with brambles
That sharpen the air I breathe
What's on the menu
Jessica can you
Take down my order, please
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
Tomorrow gets closer
A purple bulldozer
Is calling you on the phone
Your love life precedes you
Your son in law feeds you
Injections of cortisone
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone
It's not in your music
So where has it gone?
Then, Jessica

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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
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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
The song uses nonsensical imagery, but makes a very clear point. He's lambasting 'artists' like Jessica Simpson, as well as the soulless trash that they churn out. He imagines Jessica reduced to being a waitress, or old and decrepit being held together by Cortisone injections.
And isn't the line "The way that you faked it the day that you died."
"The way that you faked it the day that you died." could mean that jessica sealed her destiny in the moment she begun to be a faked ignorant popstar
It's incredible how he wrings so much meaning from such utter nonsense.
Ultimately I agree with with likelylad91. That she has sealed her destiny as a faked ignorant popstar. The lyrics: "whats on the menu, jessica can you take down my order please" I at least interpret, that she is such a sellout that she act upon orders from the public.
why is eveyone being a douchetard, saying its meaningsless instead of admitting that they just don't understnad it. of course there's meaning to it's a riducle of the empty, thoughtless, and meaningless lives people like jessica simpson lead. It might also have something to do with them probably not knowing what true, emphatic love is, both in life or for other people since they're so fake and truly do not seem to have deeper more thoughtful sides to their personalities. "Jessica Simpson where has your love gone it's not in your music so where has it gone then?" obviously points this out so does "your love life precedes you"
but does anyone know what he's getting at with the cavemen going to mexico or the purple bulldozer?
The cavemen to Mexico is a reference to when she whisked Tony Romo off to Mexico for a long weekend. The purple bulldozer is I assume a reference to a domineering record/film industry exec. Great song!

thak you adam for this song, someone had to do something
Sounds like he's trying to make fun of Jessica Simpson, which she certainly deserves... but it makes no sense, so it defeats the purpose.
By the way, it's "the way that you faked it the day that you died". Which is nonsense.
umm his lyrics are all nonsense, but it doesn't make them any less awesome
hey, well, I write a lot of poetry that probably sounds like nonsense to anyone but me, but it's usually the part of the poem I like best. so whenever I see nonsense, I assume it means something, if only to the person who wrote it.
hehe, I like this song. certainly it is nonsense, but funny how everyone seems to know what he thinks of jessica. so he doesn't have to make it concrete. I like the way he adds lovely melodies to his mockings.
