every thing was right until you came in
and ran your dirty mouth
spouting out anecdotes??? of nastiness
and then indulge yourself attracting
on to anyone that listens well????
you're the one who's fucked up
i won't pretend to be your friend
ever again

get me off, then get off me
I've had enough of you
your name your frame are nothing new


I don't know who you think that you are
you've turned into a whore
we can take this to the floor again
i know that you're spent
but we're not finished yet
I've got my own life to transcend

you make everyone look like
they're wrong, and your always right
but at night you sleep alone
and i know you're bed is cold
though you don't say so
maybe let me i can't
wait to get away from you
and your negativity


so get me off then get off me
I've had enough of you
your name your frame are nothing new.

I don't know who you think that you are
you've turned into a whore
we can take this to the floor again
i know that you're spent
but we're not finished yet
I've got my own heart to transcend
so catch me if you can

if i could say one thing
I'd probably have a conniption that
????? people standing up for you

if i could say one thing
I'd probably have a conniption that
???? people standing up to you

i don't know who you think that you are
you've turned into a whore
we can take this to the floor again
i know we've just met
but we're going to bed
I've got my own ship to transcend
so catch me if you can
you can
you can

    "I've got my own ship to transcend" doesn't make much sense to me. I think he's probably saying "I've got my own shit to transcend."

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
