This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The city is a jungle, you'd better take care
Never walk alone after midnight
If you don't believe me, you'd better beware
Of me
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me
I am the tiger
The city is a nightmare, a horrible dream
Some of us will dream it forever
Look around the corner and try not to scream
It's me
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me
I am the tiger
Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city lights
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me
I am the tiger
The city is a prison, you'll never escape
You're forever trapped in the alleys
Look into the shadows, and you'll see the shape
Of me
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me
I am the tiger
Yellow eyes were glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city lights
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me
I am the tiger
And if I meet you, what if I eat you?
I am the tiger
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger, tiger, tiger
Never walk alone after midnight
If you don't believe me, you'd better beware
Of me
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me
I am the tiger
The city is a nightmare, a horrible dream
Some of us will dream it forever
Look around the corner and try not to scream
It's me
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me
I am the tiger
Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city lights
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me
I am the tiger
The city is a prison, you'll never escape
You're forever trapped in the alleys
Look into the shadows, and you'll see the shape
Of me
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me
I am the tiger
Yellow eyes were glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city lights
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me
I am the tiger
And if I meet you, what if I eat you?
I am the tiger
I am behind you, I'll always find you
I am the tiger, tiger, tiger

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
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 lyrics are pretty self-explanatory, I gotta say.
In the song, this person is always underestimated, and that person's tired of what people think of him/her, so she finally shows that she/he's someone you should fear and never go near, like a tiger
Wrong and wrong, sorry. This song is about heroin. It uses metaphors, much like "Yellow" or "Hotel California". The reference to the tiger is about the drug creeping up on people; those who know heroin is bad stay away etc. Its actually quite simple when you listen to it knowing what its about. And as for people claiming that Bjorn did not know what he was writing about- thats truly an insult. He is a very astute man, extremely clever. He knew exactly what he was writing about and covered quite a number of very adult topics, cleverly disguised as bubble gum pop..
Ah yes! I see it. I knew the people saying it was a rapist were stretching. I thought it to be a more general: simply about the multiple dangers of the city, but heroin explains many of the lines. However, "never walk alone after midnight," what does that mean?
@ladyethelwinterbottom Except the nickname for heroin is brown not yellow. And it doesn't mention Hotel California.<br /> It's most likely about the dangers of night life and predators on the streets.
Have you even read their other lyrics? Erotic obession is everywhere, not heroin ????
Sure are some nutty interpretations here. The city can be a scary place, that's all.
This has to be one of the most intense, deep, complex and controversial songs ever written by Bjorn/Benny. I worked out that this song is most likely about rape from the rapists point of view; he sees himself as a tiger, prowling about after unsuspecting women. But he also has a human side; he fears himself and his own desires, and is telling women to beware of him as he is out of control.
I really began to take a deep interest in ABBA after I worked out the meaning of this song. Its just a fine example of how Bjorn and Benny, especially Bjorn, were such clever songwriters. But I wonder how many people actually ever picked up on the true meanings of their songs
@bigdave69 exactly, this theme of erotic obsession is evident in most of their songs, most lately in Don't shut me down, about stalking. Which Tiger as well as Watch out! Is about.
@bigdave69 exactly, this theme of erotic obsession is evident in most of their songs, most lately in Don't shut me down, about stalking. Which Tiger as well as Watch out! Is about.<br /> <br /> But already in the innocent sounding Mamma Mia. <br /> <br /> I'm particularly fond of the theme of boring office jobs and the general routine of things suddenly disrupted by obessive infatuation like If ut wasn't for the nights as well as The day before you came, masterpieces really.
