Tied off quick,
Looked around,
Plunge it in,
Pull it out.

I have found a fast solution to the pain.
Painted walls, melt away, am I a ghost?
Decide to stay.
I am shooting my solution in the rain.

We're all dead now!
Death will make you dream past tense,
Your hopes fly high and your life make sense.
(Sleep now, dream forever. Sleep now, dream tonight.)

Stay up late, enjoy the view.
Sing with me, die with you.
Come make my dreams come true.
This high up we start to fade and watch the night turn into day.

Breaking high,
We hold forever-changing hearts of gold.
Injection filled with contempt,
I was fine when we met.

Your reflection hides protected eyes of regret.
We're all dead now!
Death will make you dream past tense,
Your hopes fly high and your life make sense.

(Sleep now, dream forever. Sleep now, dream tonight.)
Sunrise before, as we wash ashore,
Now take us from this life, walk alone tonight.
We're all dead now.

Death will make you dream past tense,
Your hopes fly high and your life make sense.
(Sleep now, dream forever. Sleep now, dream tonight.)

    As a heroin addict I'd like to share my thoughts on this song:

    Tied off quick, looked around, plunge it in, pull it out.

    (When you inject heroin you tie something around your injection site to cut off circulation. You then put the needle in, inject, and then take it out)

    I have found a fast solution to the pain. (Heroin is a VERY FAST solution to pain. When you shoot it hits you almost instantly)

    Painted walls, melt away, am I a ghost ? Decide to stay. (Sometimes if you get high enough you can actually trip off of heroin. Walls can melt away and you dissappear into your own head. I'm not sure about the decide to stay part)

    I am shooting my solution in the rain. (Duh) We�re all dead now !! (There was an article written in the 60s by the government about how chooising the life of a heroin addict is choosing to be one of the "living dead")

    Death will make you dream past tense, your hopes fly high and your life make sense. (Sleep now, dream forever, Sleep now, dream tonight.)

    (I don't know here, I guess I agree with everyone else about dying and then watching your life over again. But what if we're all already dead and watching it now? I don't know)

    Stay up late, enjoy the view. Sing with me, die with you. (Staying up late and enjoying the view are two things heroin will do to you. You'll stay up and enjoy how messed up you get, especially at night. Sing with me die with you I think is perhaps about how joyous heroin is, but how much it kills you as well.

    Come make my dreams come true. (When you're in withdrawal you think of nothing but heroin)

    This high up we start to fade and watch the night turn into day. ("Fading" is a term for getting so doped up on any opiate that you almost pass out. Watch the night turn into day has happened to me many times as you just keep getting high over the night.

    Breaking high, we hold forever-changing hearts of gold. Injection filled with contempt, I was fine when we met. (Injection filled with contempt is pretty obvious to me shooting up but how much you hate yourself for doing it. I think he's saying he was fine before he met heroin.

    Your reflection hides protected eyes of regret. (If you get messed up enough you can mask your pain) We�re all dead now !! (Heroin can turn you into almost a zombie when you're high, and your life is meaningless and dead anyways because you don't care about anything else.)

    Death will make you dream past tense, your hopes fly high and your life make sense. (Sleep now, dream forever, Sleep now, dream tonight.)

    Sunrise before, as we wash ashore, now take us from this life, walk alone tonight. We�re all dead now.

    Death will make you dream past tense, your hopes fly high and your life make sense. (Sleep now, dream forever, Sleep now, dream tonight.)

    Any parts I didn't go over are obviously parts I don't get. It just seems to be this song is definitely about shooting heroin there's so many slangs and cues that I recognize, especially when he used the term "fade". ex "Dude I'm so faded right now."

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.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
