Just like a dream

She called me kinda late last night.
Said that she knew everything
And all those pretty little words came out.

And just like I planned,
She fell into my arms again,
And I could pretend that I would lie with her forever
And wait for the end.

You're right, you're right, we should be together.
Tonight, tonight, I could make it better
If I just gave up on my stupid little fantasy world.

You're right, you're right, that was a fake smile
And you're right, you're right,
I am in denial.
I should just go home to my perfect little fantasy girl.
You're my fantasy girl.

And just like I said
She crept back up inside my bed.
Said that she missed everything
And all those words that made me fall came out.
Just like a trap, everything just fell right back
And we were on track. And I could lie with her all night now
And wait to react.

You're right, you're right, we should be together.
Tonight, tonight, I could make it better
If I just gave up on my stupid little fantasy world.

You're right, you're right, that was a fake smile
And you're right, you're right,
I am in denial.
I should just go home to my perfect little fantasy girl.
You're my fantasy girl.

    I might be way off, and the ideas above are good, but....

    I feel like this song is about how he doesn't really want to be with this girl, but he's settling for her because, apparently, he thinks she is the best girl he'll ever be able to get, but he still isn't happy being with her.

    In the first verse, his ex (they probably just recently broke up) calls him upset because she found out that he has already been screwing around (or something) with other girls. He sweet talks her into getting back together with him because the new girls he's meeting aren't as good as his ex and he's afraid that she's the best girl he can get. But, when they get back together he realizes that he isn't happy with her; he's trying to convince himself that he's happy.

    In the chorus, the line "you're right... we should be together" definitely implies that she wants them to be together more than he does. He wants to go out and find someone new and better, but he isn't having any luck, so he figures that he might as well go back to her. The whole second half of the chorus is saying that he's in denial and trying to tell himself that she's his fantasy girl, but she definitely isn't.

    The second verse when he says "just like a trap" implies that he's stuck with her and everything is back to the way it used to be with them together, but he doesn't have any feelings for her. He's numb to it all and he's hoping to feel emotion; he's "waiting to react."

    I'm definitely reading personal experience into this one, but that's what this song makes me think of. There are definitely too many references to fake emotions for this to actually be talking about how this girl is really everything he wants.

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."

Magical

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
“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.
