Conquer You

The Mascara Story

This near romance between us
When we kiss I don’t just taste lip-gloss
But a piece of you I would never eat

A box of new butterflies
From you to me
With pink ribbon and everything

Now it’s compulsory, at least to me
To audition my words before I speak
I’m knotting tongues, that isn’t what you'd want

A box of new butterflies
From me to you
But take this compass and map and glue

Lover
Please find attached
A map of yours truly
And I’ll conquer you
Lover
Please find attached
A map of yours truly
And I’ll conquer you

With your shopping list, of positives
I love how we act on our impulses
Kiss me quick, the gentle art of us

Under our sheets
They'll find no, find no sleep

Lover
Please find attached
A map of yours truly
And I’ll conquer you
Lover
Please find attached
A map of yours truly
And I’ll conquer you
I’ll conquer you

And kiss me quick
And kiss me now
And I’ll hold your sides forever
And I’ll hold your sides forever

And lover
Please find a map of yours truly
I’ll conquer you and
In the fire
I would give you the cold water
Next to my heart
But see that’s the fun part
And I’m all for you smiling
Over and over again

You’re turning heads
You're so beautiful
You're waiting for me
I’m nothing at all
But I’m content
And I’ll conquer you

You’re turning heads
You're so beautiful
You're waiting for me
I’m nothing at all
But I’m content
And I’ll conquer you, I’ll conquer you
And I’ll conquer you, I’ll conquer you

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
