Yeah-yeah, oh
Yeah-yeah, oh
Look'it here
(The lights go out) the lights go out, the smell of doom
Is creepin' into your lonely room

The bed's on fire
Your fate is sealed
And you're so tired
And the reason is Camille-mille, Shockadelica
The girl must be a witch
She got your mind, body, and soul hitched, Shockadelica
You need a second opinion but she never wears a stitch
So you can't take her home

She got you tied with a golden rope
She won't let you play your guitar
And when you've cried enough
Maybe she'll let you up
For a nasty ride in her shockadeli-car
She'll make you beg (please) girl
Shockadelica, got you in a trance
'Cause when this woman say dance you dance, Shockadelica
You need a second opinion but you just can't leave her alone
With her you got no mind of your own
Shockadelica
Shockadelica
Doo-bee-doo-bee, yeah, Shockadelica
Shockadelica
Doo-bee-doo-bee, Shockadelica

The lights go out, the smell of doom
Again is creepin' into your lonely room

Is this a dream or is this real (or is this real)
Or is this just a mirage you feel, Shockadelica
Shockadelica
Shockadelica, she must be a witch
She got your mind, body, and soul hitched, Shockadelica
You need a second opinion
She never wears a stitch
You can't take her home, Shockadelica

She got you in a trance
When this girl say dance, baby, baby, baby, you dance (Shockadelica)
You dance, you dance, you dance, you dance, you, oh!

Shockadelica (she must be a witch, yeah)
Shockadelica, doo-bee-doo-bee (she got my mind, body, and soul hitched)
Shockadelica (I need a second, I need a second opinion)
Shockadelica, doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee (I just can't leave her alone)

Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee
The lights go out, the smell of doom
Again is creeping into your lonely room (is this a dream?)
Is this a dream
Or is this real
(Or is it just a mirage?) or is this just a mirage you feel?
(Is this just a mirage?) (or is it just a mirage?)
(Is this just a mirage?) (or is it just a mirage?) (Shockadelica)
(Is this just a mirage?) (or is it just a mirage?)
(Or is this just a mirage?) (or is it just a mirage?)
Shockadelica

    whoops, i didn't realise this was already here!

    Such a fantastic song! It's about this woman that's got him completely drawn, like he's under a spell. It's so witchy/halloween-y.. He's fascinated by her but he doesn't understand why.

    I love the characteristics of this song. shockadelica!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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/
