one cut for every kiss
one slice to my skin for everytime i wrote the words i love you
for your decieving eyes
one more little slit just cause youre not around
to stop me from doing this to myself

these drops of blood run down my arms and into my palm
those lovely tears roll down your cheeks when you realize
what it is that you have done

im dying
to know what happened
between you and him
im dying

im dying(im dying to know what happened bewtween you and him)
im dying
im dying

one cut for every kiss
one slice to my skin for everytime i wrote the words i love you
for your decieving eyes
one more little slit just cause youre not around
to stop me from doing this to myself

these drops of blood run down my arms and into my palm
those lovely tears roll down your cheeks when you realize
what it is that you have done

im dying
to know what happened
between you and him
im dying

im dying(im dying to know what happened bewtween you and him)
im dying
im dying

    I'm sad to say I actually like this song, because of the melody, the lyrics are kinda bad, because I happen to think that cutting isn't something that should be glorified in any form, be it TV shows that feature it, or songs about it, it's just not cool.

    I agree, I love the melody, however the lyrics, more than anything, are totally... boring. Uninspired, whatever you want to call it. I'm not totally sure it's gloryfing cutting, it could also be about how break-ups (In this case because the girl cheated on him) Is totally over-dramatised.

    I agree w/you Bridgetcore, Brett is a good writer, I couldn't write lyrics half as well as he does, notice how I won't diss the lyrics themselves, just the subject matter.

    I'd also like to add, Brett is offically the skinniest guy I've EVER met, skinnier even than my friend Andy (if you're into the NJ hardcore scene, he's the lead singer of A Chilling Silence), and that's saying something.

    yeah brett is pretty damn skinny, tight pants arn't tight on him. he's a really nice guy too. i like brett's in-out in-out lyrics, and i love those songs, but i don't think he's had any shows with that side project in a while.

    I have nothing against cutting but it hurts peoples' feelings when people do it. So yes, it can be bad. But this song rules!

    i like this song, but i dont really like what its about...i agree with "ErinsEmoTears". No Hollywood Ending's songs are pretty much pointless--they say the same thing over and over again.

    this song is about a guy who loves a girl (possibly girlfriend) , and something happens with his girlfriend and another guy. he finds out and now his life fucks up, the lyrics show how he feels.. and yeah the girl aint there to help coz she doesnt care and he does it to show how he feels, he loves her but hates her at the same time!

Cajun Girl
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”

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."

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,

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.
