Its a plague, this constant weight, it haunts my thoughts when you're away.
And would it be safe for one to say, that i made your heart smile at the end of the day?
I know my songs were never profound, they were never sincere enough to make your heart sing out.
So where am i wrong, in hoping that i might someday realize where i was all along?

where i was all along

    all the lyrics; Its a plague, this constant weight, it haunts my thoughts when you're away. And would it be safe for one to say, I made your heart smile at the end of the day?

    And what, what was hidden behind your smile? Was it love, or pain in disguise? I know my love never took that away, I know my love was just a plague.

    With everyday I pray you'd say I brought you joy in some way. But that's not the case, cause I took it away, I turned your joy into pain. I know my songs were never profound, they were never sincere enough to make your heart sing out. So where am i wrong, in hoping that I might someday realize where I was all along?

    where I was all along

    and what, what was hidden behind your eyes? was it love, or pain in disguise? I know my love never took that away. I know my love was just a plague.

    I'm listening to the full thing right now, and I'm in love with it. I think this is one of their more deeper and meaningful songs.

    A plague is also a sickness/disease that spreads.

    He might think his love was just something that made matters worse in his relationship. I think this might be about him trying to please someone so much, but he thinks it's not enough. Maybe he wants to think of the best, but something happened with their relationship to make it to the point where things can't get fixed, no matter how hard he tried.

    He wrote this song about Tara. They dated for like 2 years. She pretty much bailed on him his senior year. She was already graduated. This was one of their first songs, and took a long time to actually finish. He wanted to spend as much time as he needed to make sure it was perfect. So it's not about him "thinking" it wasn't enough. It just wasn't. As much as it sucks, that's how that whole thing worked out. Sooo that's the story behind this...and like every other song of theirs. I know this, because while you're all obsessed with them, I actually know them. Oh and Grant is who I'm referring to by the way.

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."

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.

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/

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.
