You?re just an object to me
I?d like to get to know you better
Paste you across my body
You?re just an object to me

you?re just a piece of meat
And I am the butcher
I love you better, love you forever
You?re just an object to me

why sit in the shade
Drink what we made from our lovers cup
Dreams don?t always come when you fall asleep
You?re just an object to me

I?m gonna do something wrong
Nobody?s gonna like it
But I?ve got my pride and my time isn?t free
You?re just an object to me

you?re just an object to me
I feel a little better
They found your sweater
You?re just an object to me

    What about this one: Not speaking in metaphors here or at least not in "out-there" or "stretch-of-thought" but rather taking it as something you think about visually and in direct correlation with what the words are saying. If we think of it this way then we could say that it is about a man cheating on somebody/somebody cheating on their spouse (or what have you) with him.

    "You're just an object to me" - The hooker is nothing to him but an object "I'd like to get to know you better" - I wanna be inside of you sexxxing you up (laymen terms of course) Saying paste in the next line in order to keep the idea of it being an almost inanimate object, following immediately and not in just the same verse but the same line that he/she is an object. "Just a piece of meat" and "I am a butcher" all point to how this particular hooker or person is just an object and that he is so detached from him/her ("it") that he cares not what happens to them/it after he is done (they are sold) (alternatively what I said about the first two-three lines could be put in conjunction with the serial or psychopathic killer theory [the first of mine to be honest]) "Why sit in the shade?" - in the car doing their thing "Drink what we made from a lover's cup" - drinking wine or champagne (a drink treated typically as a "special occasion" between lovers or dating peoples) and "lover's cup" meaning that it is the significant other of the person saying it so it is a lover's cup and not just a regular cup (most likely a wine glass or the like) Putting it together asking why he brought this cup because it may be that it is bringing about memories of him and his lover "Dreams don't always come when you fall asleep" - Her dreams of prestige or his dreams of a happy and wondrous marriage "I'm gonna do something wrong" - Cheating or getting the hooker and sharing the cup etc "Nobody's gonna like it" - His wife/children/family/God/Church/Friends & etc. "But I've got my pride, and my time isn't free, you're just an object to me." - Nigga needs to get laid and he has to get back home to his wife or whatever. That or flip this Entire interpretation to where instead it is from a prostitutes mentality, but that seems ever a further stretch than this one. "I feel a little better" - Got laid but still feels bad about his marriage and the fact of his cheating ways "They found your sweater" - The wife or family found the sweater.

    Sorry if that was a little hard to follow but you know I writing it on the fly. All this was another way to look at it. Really, if you know anything about music and artists and what they are trying to say and how and us the on lookers and amateur interpreters of such artists, you must know that you HAVE to look at the album in it's entirety. With that being said it is a little hard for me to believe that this truly about a murderer, because the rest of the songs are, in my views, about degrading, then coming together, reproducing, and love. Friends (Friends), Lust (Big Blue Balloon), then fuck buddies (Object), then trying to feel for one another (Learning to Love), then more sexual frustration and degrading (My Own Bare Hands-here the man winds), then spiritually together (Spirit Walker), then argumentative-loving type deal (Shamemaker-Here the man lost), then infatuation and doting love remembering how it was (Sweetheart in the Summer), then sweet nothing to bed-time/baby (Lullaby), then unity (Women and Man-trying to make the relationship work), and finally a happy ending after a lovely party (Your Party).

    Blah, sorry that was long it's just my ideas on the whole thing. Erm, Fiesta.. I dunno Fiesta s just cool hahaha.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
