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”
Dark night, it's a dark night.
And you can feel it, out with the big cats.
And there's a jaw trap, and there's a razor net.
And it's a dark night,
so paint your necks red,
so we can see you.
Vastness, there's a vastness,
and it looks empty,
but it's really full up to the brim.
And you can taste it,
like a battery on your tongue,
electricity passing particle, to particle, to particle.
And I’m gonna need some proof,
I'm gonna need some proof,
so set your traps right before I lay my money out for you.
Decision or indecision,
is it safer to stay in the light where I can see them?
But there was nothing there,
but you could feel the hum.
And it could core you like an apple kid,
or burn you 'til you turn to dust.
And I'm gonna need some proof,
I'm gonna need some proof,
so set your traps right before I lay my money out for you.
Buzz saw in the ears for days
and there's only so much a man can take
before crack, crack, crack, cracking in.
Buzz saw in the ears for days and there's only so much a man can take
before crack, crack, crack, cracking in.
Car ride,
we'll take a car ride,
out to the country,
to see the goldmines.
See where that hill ends?
That's where it all began,
and it was teeming then,
now it's a fucking wasteland, and it's such a waste man.
And I'm gonna need some proof,
I'm gonna need some proof,
so set your traps right before I lay my money out for you.
And I'm gonna need some proof,
I'm gonna need some proof,
so set your traps right before I lay my money out for you.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
no comments?
why?
Probably cause no one has anything worthwhile to say except no comments?
why?
Will come back and give it a whirl when I've got a bit more time (and not just procrastinating)

this is song is confusing but amazing all thr same, i love the emotion in his voice, it makes it a way stronger song. i cant say i really know whats about really, all i know is its a great great song.
i was hoping someone would be able to explain these lyrics to me, lol.
but it seems to be about spending time with someone but being scared to open up to them because you could get hurt which in the end he did? i dunno. it kinda makes sense but i dont know how to explain myself :\ help me please.
The meaning to this song for me is its about a persons journey with a loved one who is on some sort of addiction. The loved one hides it, and lies and says they need money for other things but in truth they are wasting their life away, "and its such a waste man". The person cannot trust their loved one and are at odds at how to fix them "is it safer to stay in the light where I can see them?" The relationship is failing and its breaking this persons heart, but its soo hard to let go as the person keeps remembering how good the relationship used to be. Any thoughts?
yet another beautiful song by josh pyke
the lines "to see the goldmines. See where that hill ends? That's where it all began, and it was teeming then, now it's a fucking wasteland, and it's such a waste man. "
possibly meaning the 'goldmine' as the relationship starting off greatly, now it's a fucking wasteland since he knows what they are up to, etc.
however, upon reading aja182's comment i'm not sure how to go about interpreting it.however, i'm sure it's open to interpretation - them having some sort of an addiction, cheating on them, some sort of secret life which he knows is true but has no proof of. i also think the swears in the last line add to the feeling and really are neccessary, contrary to what many people say.
