This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Oh yeah, yes
Ooh
Can I talk to you for a minute?
There's something on my mind
That I wanna say
Ooh, reality is taking control of me 'cause I know, baby
I know that your not with me (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh loving you boy
I wanna contradict my word
I belong (I) with you, I do truly want to know (want to know)
When you hear me talking, what you think (ooh)
When you looking into my eyes, what you see (oh, yeah)
I know you ain't trying to be my man
What you think about us being friends, making plans (oh)
To be everything we want to be, making our dreams turn reality
I'm digging everything you appear to be
And I'm wondering if we could be real good good friends
So emotional, you know I am
That's why you do me the way you do me, if you'd be cool with me
You'll see, that I'm all you need and all that you dream
And never would leave, you'll be by my side forever
Swear to God we'll grow old together, then reality would be you and me
When you hear me talking, what you think (oh yeah)
When you looking into my eyes, what you see (when you see me, baby)
I know you ain't trying to be my man
What you think about us being friends, making plans
(Sometimes I think you're so, so, so, so scared
To be everything we want to be (ooh), making our dreams turn reality
I'm digging everything you appear to be
And I'm wondering if we could be (wonderin' if we could be friends)
If we could be friends, baby
You'll be all I need, baby
I'll give you what ever you wanted and never would leave you a front and
Be what you need, baby
You'll be all I have, baby
And I'd be there for you, never would front, do what you do
When you hear me talking, what you think
When you looking into my eyes, what you see (What you see)
I know you ain't trying to be my man (oh baby)
What you think about us being friends, making plans ('cause I know)
To be everything we want to be, making our dreams turn reality
I'm digging everything you appear to be (we'd be so good together, baby)
And I'm wondering if we could be real good good friends
(You and me, you)
If we could be friends, baby
You'd be all I need, baby
Be everything you wanna be
Making our dreams turn reality
I'm digging everything you appear to be
Ooh
Can I talk to you for a minute?
There's something on my mind
That I wanna say
Ooh, reality is taking control of me 'cause I know, baby
I know that your not with me (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh loving you boy
I wanna contradict my word

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
This joint is about Keyshia being in love with this fella, however this fella doesn't share the same feelings as her. However, that isn't gonna stop her from telling him the reasons they should be together. But in the meantime she would like for them to become good friends, because she believes this will lead them into becoming lovers.
