Bigfoot step over me
Spare me from embarassing defeat
Numb to the thought existing
I'd be estatic
Would the find complete the puzzle for me
I could be fiction from the entry
The entry

What do you think you know
I know its ok now
Lay down more stupid rules
That only I apply to

I'm made for medusa
But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic
And now you know

If I call it how I see it
I may never call it
Your teeth they talk and talk
And I never follow
If you repeat what you here
You wont be repeating, be repeating, be repeating
Anything to anyone

I'm mad for medusa
But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic
And now you know

Amelia I may never meet you
Maybe the ocean's where you rest
Bermuda I may never see you
Just because no one's coming back
Along came a spider
That crawled inside her
Now I think I'm sick for christian's sake
But frozen with fear of god the earthquake
And now you know

I'm mad for medusa
But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic
And now you know

    My Interpretation

    "But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic" could these refer to loving the feeling of being stoned? cause that would make sense to me

    Heres a shot in the dark. I think maybe he's talking about this girl he likes or is "Mad for" that makes him feel like he's been frozen by her (like Medusas gaze, hence making her Medusa). The "hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic" attests to this idea of being turned to stone/ceramic by her gaze. I don't really know, cause there's still a lot of stuff I'm not addressing. Someone else do it.

    What does this even mean? Iosephus, that's as far as I get, too... the ceramic thing does make sense a little w/ the whole Medusa idea. But yeah...the whole decoding thing...I'll leave it to someone else on this song because reading those lyrics out just confuses me.

    alright. this song is actually more straightforward than you are making it out to be. while visiting a friend at Illinois State in Normal ( where TJV was founded) i found the answer in bloomington....Medusa's Adult World. there ya go. the song is about an adult bookstore. "big foot step over me" (monkey painted on building) spare me from embarassing defeat ( its embarassing to look at porn?) I'm made for medusa But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic And now you know (there are statues at medusa) Amelia I may never meet you Maybe the ocean's where you rest (Amellia is his fantasy girl from something he found at medusa's)Along came a spider That crawled inside her Now I think I'm sick for christian's sake But frozen with fear of god the earthquake And now you know(STD's????) anyways i cant really decode it, but its about an adult bookstore in bloomington, end of story.

    i seriously thought the lyrics were "mad for medusa"... not made for medusa... considering the song is titled "mad for medusa" but you know i guess whatever lol

    that book store thing is actually pretty funny... i think a lot of times we make lyrics out to be bigger than they actually are... but i mean lyrics speak differently to each different person, and thats what makes music so wonderful... i mean, what i thought the song meant, and finding out that it was written about a porn shop basically.. ha lol

    dewthelew, great analysis.

    Amelia is not actually fiction though.

    It's an ex girlfriend of the lead singers.

    First of all, it's not about an adult bookstore. While there is a place in Bloomington called Medusa's, that is completely and utterly false. Somebody with too much time on their hands made that shit up. Sorry to burst your bubble. Quoting my brother asa, "it is about nothing really dude"

    and there you have it.

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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
