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.
They say the problems come
Come in pairs and I am number one
So take a look at your friends
Oh envy is a terrible thing
No you, your so smart
So smart you that didn't call my bluff
And if you could, you just would
If you run
If you run
If you run away you wont stay
And that's so cool
And its like you wanted it too
Say, take it away take it away
Its easy to stay, easy to stay
When you no everything
You had us all convinced
You were something, someone couldn't miss
Well why did you miss?
You say
You'll give it up and you'll give it up all the way
You'll give it and give it up all the way
Give it up, give it up, give it away
If you run
If you run
If you run away you wont stay
And that's so cool
And its like you wanted it too (we stay)
Say, take it away take it away
Its so easy to stay, easy to stay
When you no everything
Oh
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason, to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat
And your so cool
Run around, just running your mouth
You're by the hotel, who's doing you now?
And your so cool, so cool
Run around, just running your mouth
You're by the hotel, who's doing you now?
And your so cool, so cool
Come in pairs and I am number one
So take a look at your friends
Oh envy is a terrible thing
No you, your so smart
So smart you that didn't call my bluff
And if you could, you just would
If you run
If you run
If you run away you wont stay
And that's so cool
And its like you wanted it too
Say, take it away take it away
Its easy to stay, easy to stay
When you no everything
You had us all convinced
You were something, someone couldn't miss
Well why did you miss?
You say
You'll give it up and you'll give it up all the way
You'll give it and give it up all the way
Give it up, give it up, give it away
If you run
If you run
If you run away you wont stay
And that's so cool
And its like you wanted it too (we stay)
Say, take it away take it away
Its so easy to stay, easy to stay
When you no everything
Oh
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat
I've got one good reason, to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat
And your so cool
Run around, just running your mouth
You're by the hotel, who's doing you now?
And your so cool, so cool
Run around, just running your mouth
You're by the hotel, who's doing you now?
And your so cool, so cool

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think maybe as my perception of this song, would be how his girl just blames him as the problem, as she's in denial and would just give it all up, and run away from everything because its easier to runaway than to face the truth. Her talk is cheap and wont take a stand for him. He wants her to stay but knows she just wants to take off and leave him, and he loves he, but she doesnt love him enough to stay. He wants her to see everything shes got to stay for but she just wont listen.
I mean, this song means diffferent things to different people but when i got sent this song, i guess i realised what that person was saying about me.
Other from that.. absolutly powerful amazing song, would love to see them live next year sometime!!
