This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Jena and Jimmy they met at a rally to bring our boys back from the war
Jimmy was dancing he was dancing like crazy showing no mercy to the dance floor
Jena was minding she was minding her business she did not want no company
'Til Jimmy spotted her like a lamb to the slaughter and he coaxed her over with a martini
And Jimmy said "ooohh ooohh ooohh"
She could feel it hitting her bloodstream
Before she knew it she was she was up on his chopping block and he was flagging down a taxi
And Jimmy said..
"If you give me your love
I'll give you my love
I'll give you my love
Gonna take one kiss to shut you up (and that'll be enough)
If you give me your love
I'll give you my love
I'll give you my love
Gonna kiss your lips to shut you up"
She told him stories of social injustices and constitutional rights
He smirked and turned his head "just lighten up" he said "baby we got all night"
Jena was beautiful and spoke convincingly he listened just like a priest
His best shot at stopping her was if he co-opted her so he got two more rounds of drinks
And Jimmy said "ooohh ooohh ooohh"
Jimmy held her like an enemy
Then toasted global peace and dovetailing interests as he threw his shot back with a wink
And Jimmy said
"If you give me your love
I'll give you my love
I'll give you my love
Gonna take one kiss to shut you up (and that'll be enough)
If you give me your love
I'll give you my love
I'll give you my love
Gonna kiss your lips to shut you up"
Jimmy was dancing he was dancing like crazy showing no mercy to the dance floor

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Like pretty much the whole album, this song is just a metaphor. I think this one, unlike some others, is specifically about American Evangelical Protestants and the Republican Party.
Jimmy is the Republican party, Jena is the Church.
Jena wants good, she wants to save the world. Even though they have some vague common interests, all Jimmy really wants is her body. He entices her, intoxicates her, and pretends to care about what she cares about long enough to take her home, and keeps smiling and nodding so she'll keep believing it's her interests he cares about. But in the end, he's only really trying to shut her up about what she cares about so that he can get what he wants.
The Republican party has been keeping the Church intoxicated with lines about being pro-life for how many years now? Yet when they had a majority in both houses, and the presidency, and 5 seats on SCOTUS, they passed 0 bills outlawing, restricting, or otherwise preventing abortion. And that's just one of a dozen issues where the Church is playing the whore to the State. But if the church starts to complain, it's all "just lighten up... baby we got all night" or "Gonna kiss your lips to shut you up".
