Never Slept So Soundly

Rx Bandits

Couldn't see the moon when she came tonight
Emptiness inside her filled my room
I know its only distance but it feels just like the end
I won't ask this same old question

Adamant resistance
To my lasting desires
Searching for an explanation
To why I sleep alone
Oh, I'm not darling anymore
If you call you just use my name
Let these clenched fists open wide
To see where all the answers lie

Looking for a sign that I'm still alive
With these pilled-up smile and these sloppy eyes, yeah
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don't mean anything now
Pray it's over soon

Never slept so soundly
Than with your breath on my neck

The present has no future
The future has no past
The past is just a graveyard
For the lonely ghost, regret
It's so hard to say goodbye
When I shake too much to hold
Let this blood within me run
So I can see the answers dry

Looking for a sign that I'm still alive
With this junky smile and these sloppy eyes, yeah
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don't mean anything now
I pray it's over soon

We're finding our directions
Stumble, stagger, fall away
Oh, yeah

Finding our direction
Let it lead the way
Part of what you borrowed
Can never be replaced
So pardon my deflection, baby
There's no more blood to bleed
But if I can I'll be sewin' up the seeds
Pickin' up what's left of me
To sing together

Looking for a sign that I'm still alive
With this pilled-up smile and these sloppy eyes, yeah
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world that don't mean anything, yeah
Isn't that the truth?
And now I'm looking for a sign that I'm still alive
With this pilled-up smile and these junky eyes
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don't mean anything now
Pray it's over soon

I never slept so soundly
Than with your breath on my neck

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.

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.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
