My weaknesses
With their ugly faces
On a day to day basis
Stay calm and try to see this
I'm always sensitive relaxing
Always delicately asking
But I can't seem to fly away
Felling tall, small, sick of it all
And all I want do is cry, fly away
Felling tall, small, sick of it all
And all I want to do is say

How to cook up pride?
Well if you live in your behavior
It will slide a different flavor
And how to change my mind?
Well if you break up all the candy
Gently slip it within my brandy
But I can't seem to fly away
Felling tall, small, sick of it all
And all I want do is cry and fly away
Feeling tall, small, sick of it all
And all I want to do is fly away
Feeling tall, small, sick of it all
And all I want, and all I want
And all I want, and all I want
And all I want, and all I want is you

Hold your candle high
Well if they jeopardize your meaning
You must strike upon their ceiling
If I'm right then who am I?
Well I'm simply just that candy
You slipped within my brandy
Well I can't seem to fly
I can't seem to fly
I can't seem to fly away
Feeling tall, small, sick of it all
And if he says then it's my calling
I fly away
Felling dull, small, sick of it all
And all I want to do is say

    Song Meaning

    DISCLAIMER I have just obtained a copy of Justin Furstenfeld's book Crazy Making. It's not very detailed, but it contains all the lyrics to all current (The Answers - Approaching Normal) Blue October songs, and his inspiration behind them. As I said, it's not very detailed, but it's his words on every Blue October song that is in the book. I know everyone interprets a song differently from everyone else, but having the original intent behind the song will be helpful to people who don't fully understand a song. Also, any grammatical errors are not made by me, I'm putting down Justin's words exactly how he writes them. So yea... enjoy :)

    Weaknesses: "I love the chords, the music, the movement. I just think I tried to hard to be deep."

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."

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/
