[Dessa]
Oh's of the cigarette just to say who lights it first. All of you didn't think the pirouettes would lift your stink? On the phone with a close friend whose name you don't know something they became a face so sad you can't go. It's amazing what they let you get away with in dim lights, and it's crazy watching you go pale in stage lights. The hand bills the fan mail, the phones that they shoot. You show up just to look at them looking at you? You've got that gold touch you've got that mad rush of the bored and over-lonely adored by young strangers and stranger to old friends. You came up quick and now you've got the bad bends can't remember which houses you live in and which ones you visit. Business is different than what you'd envisioned it isn't it? All this cause and not an effect check. Just gauze and perkasit bump the set till God can hear it. And quell this fear that I'm feeling that heaven is quite deaf.

And all I hear is can we love me, watch me, did he love me, honey kiss me, is she awfully naughty, even naughty laadee daadee move your body

[Cecil Otter]
Or use your body language A) cause it's easy to read B) cause you're stuck in anxiousville C) you don't speak so easily. You know we can be mindfuck buddies or the beast with two backpacks. Just gotta trust somebody after you suck somebody into your laugh track. Your audience is crying and I know you've noticed you're focusin' in circles dear. I see your lips moving but all I hear is does he still love me? Why don't he know that I'm in pain? Why don't he still need me? Why don't he know that I can change?

[P.O.S.]
Take steps like I don't wanna wake ya, not a sound from the floor board four more steps to the door. Don't look back don't get sh don't crack. Don't act so took don't tack another story on the time is gone for that just go. Maybe cuz the time was wrong up in the head but the heart's a strong one. Is what I should have said. Woulda coulda but the door still creaks. Just leave please just don't speak. These dreams need sleep and I walk to remove to relieve not cope. Hope don't float. Hope sinks low. Hope breeds free with the demons below. Faith is a razor blade you can raise to the face of any hangman that gives you up just go.

And all I hear is can we love me, watch me, did he love me, honey kiss me, is she awfully naughty, even naughty laadee daadee move your body

    My Opinion

    Just a few corrections from what I can hear/find.

    [Dessa] Oh's of the cigarette just to say who lights it first. All of you didn't think the pirouettes would lift your skirt? On the phone with a close friend whose name you don't know Something bigger came up baby, so sad you can't go. It's amazing what they let you get away with in dim lights, and it's crazy watching you go pale on stage lights. The hand bills the fan mail, the photos that they shoot. You show up just to look at them looking at you? You've got that gold touch, you've got that mad rush of the bored and over-lonely adored by young strangers, a stranger to old friends. You came up quick and now you've got the bad bends can't remember which houses you live in and which ones you visit. Business is different than what you'd envisioned it isn't it? All this cause and not an effect check. Just gauze and Percocet, bump the set till God can hear it. And quell this fear that I'm feeling that heaven is quite deaf.

    And all I hear is can we love me, watch me, did he love me, honey kiss me, is she awfully naughty, you've been naughty laadee daadee move your body

    [Cecil Otter] Or use your body language A) cause it's easy to read B) cause you're stuck in anxiousville C) you don't speak so easily. Yeah we can be mindfuck buddies or the beast with two backpacks. Just gotta trust somebody after you suck somebody into your laugh track. Your audience is crying and I know you've noticed you're focusin' in circles dear. I see your lips moving but all I hear is does he still love me? Why don't he know that I'm in pain? Why don't he still need me? Why don't he know that I can change?

    [P.O.S.] Take steps like I don't wanna wake ya, not a sound from the floor board, four more steps to the door. Don't look back don't get show, don't crack. Don't act so took don't tack another story on the time is gone for that just go. Maybe cuz the time was wrong up in the head but the heart's a strong one. Is what I should have said. Woulda coulda but the door still creaks. Just leave please just don't speak. These dreams need sleep and I woke to a need to relieve not cope. Hope don't float. Hope sinks low. Hope breeds free with the demons below. Faith is a razor blade you can raise to the face of any hangman that gives you rope just go.

    And all I hear is can we love me, watch me, did he love me, honey kiss me, is she awfully naughty, you've been naughty laadee daadee move your body

    I'm pretty sure the first line is "Pose with a cigarette just to see who lights it first"

    [Dessa] Pose with a cigarette just to see who lights it first. All of you didn't think the pirouettes would lift your skirts? On the phone with a close friend whose name you don't know something they became abandoned so sad you can't go. It's amazing what they let you get away with in dim lights, and it's crazy watching you go pale in stage lights. The hand bills the fan mail, the photos that they shoot, You show up just to look at them looking at you? You've got that gold touch you've got that mad rush of the bored and over-lonely adored by young strangers and stranger to old friends. You came up quick and now you've got the bad bends can't remember which houses you live in and which ones you visit. Business is different than what you'd envisioned it isn't it? All this cause and not an effect yet, just gauze and percocet, bump the set till God can hear it, and quell this fear that I'm feeling that heaven is quite deaf.

    And all I hear is can we love me, watch me, did he love me, honey kiss me, is she awfully naughty, you've been naughty laadee daadee move your body

    [Cecil Otter] Or use your body language A) cause it's easy to read B) cause you're stuck in anxiousville C) you don't speak so easily.

More Featured Meanings

Album art
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/

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
