Consider me an object
Put me in a vacuum
Free of all conditions
Free of air and friction
Yea, I'll be hanging upside down.
And there I will swing
For all eternity
Fell it rising, yea next stop falling
Feel it rising, comatose, with no fear of falling
Consider me an abscess
Leave me in my vacuum
Blood on all the pistons
Running my transmission
Feel it rising, yea next stop falling
Feel it rising, comatose, with no fear of falling
Feel it rising, yeah next stop falling
Feel It rising
High above I'll break the law,
If it's illegal to be in love,
Leave the hatred, on the cross
Yea I'll be hanging upside down and here I will swing
For all eternity
Feel it rising, yea next stop falling
Feel it rising, comatose with no fear of falling
Feel it rising, yea, next stop falling
Feel it rising
Something never thought you'd be part of...

    My Interpretation

    Ohhhh.... So close. Everybody did great but you all forgot that Eddie's a closet goth kid.

    Much like Red Mosquito, this song is about vampires. I'm not sure if he's conjuring the image of an emotional vampire or a literal vampire, though.

    Consider me an object Put me in a vacuum Free of all conditions Free of air and friction

    The undead really aren't people so much (devoid of soul and life) as they are things, so he can be considered an object. Stuck in a vacuum, as nothing can touch him to end his eternal torment. This train of thought follows into the final two lines.

    Yea, I'll be hanging upside down. And there I will swing For all eternity

    ...Obviously the bat image of vampires.

    Fell it rising, yea next stop falling Feel it rising, comatose, with no fear of falling

    On this one, I'm torn between the images of the vampire's hunger and his rage towards the humanity that he can no longer be a part of. Another, more literal interpretation that I considered is that it may be a reference towards the sun that could be the bittersweet end to his wretched existence but he somehow still instinctively avoids.

    Leave me in my vacuum Blood on all the pistons Running my transmission

    He really just wants to be left alone to feed his hunger and keep his motor running with the blood of the (in his eyes) wretched humans. It's what keeps him moving.

    High above I'll break the law, If it's illegal to be in love, Leave the hatred, on the cross

    As he swoops in upon his victims from the sky, he has no concern for mankind's laws. All of his concern and passion is directed towards the lust for the feeding. Forget about the horrible goriness of it all, revel in the beauty and leave the hatred behind. ...And well, crosses... Crosses BAD!!!

    Something never thought you'd be part of...

    The final message for his victims before their own turning.

    Bwhaaahahahahaaa!!!!! Not really. I think that Eddie just wanted to throw a fast, fun little punk rock song in with some obscure lyrics to make people ponder and over-analyze them. ...More like Bugs or Stupid Mop.

    ...Although, I did think the gay marriage thing was a good catch but I agree that it's probably a little too literal for this song. ... But I also agree that "With Vedder, you never know..." :-D

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.
