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”
[Chorus]
Its either sink or swim get ripped limb from limb
We stuck with this through thick and thin (Argh)
And we the kings of kings
So bow down, now, pucker up kiss the ring (Mwah)
Its either sink or swim get ripped limb from limb
We stuck with this through thick and thin (Argh)
And we the kings of kings
So bow down, now, pucker up kiss the ring
[Possessed]
My acapellas are an act of terror, mad professor
Drill sergeant's skulls with a Black and Decker
Anorexic man possessed with Samson's strength
Pull the Pillars of Hercules back together
Taken for granted like genies and jinns
Swallow live grenades pick my teeth wit the pin
The father of lies
Tried to commit suicide slicing my wrist it only sharpened the knife
(Homie) larger than life, got you trembling shook
I'm fishing with President Bush's head on a hook
(Cursed) who inherits my looks
Spark forest fires flame breathing down your neck of the woods
If the crowd stand still, their scared stiff
Forget Eve I made the Blair Witch from my spare rib
Creations master stroke
Scrutinised Medusa's eyes, was only left with a heart of stone
I'm from parts unknown
Lay undiscovered for a hundred thousand years in Antarctic snow
Twisted S.O.B microphone fiend
I'm the one you but don't see
My picnic's a few sandwiches short
You get dispatched and put back in contact with the source
We carry the torch
You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours with adamantium claws
[Chorus]
[Psiklone]
I was sent here from the future to serve my mission alone
Descendent of medusa turning my optician to stone
I write lines in poisonous lead
My overpowering presence replaces the voice in your head
Keep body parts refrigerated
I got attitude - replaced cabin crews parachutes wit pillowcases
Integrated with the matrix
Fight myself rapidly moving between two different places
Knowledge trapped in forgotten chapters
Crossed the atlas with prehistoric packs of Velociraptors
Yo... I solve codes and impossible puzzles
Run rings round you like 2-player Sonic and Knuckles
Inflicting multiple injuries
Open my mouth and unleash vultures and killer bees
Vocals blow you to smithereens
My head grows a new body if you sever my throat with a guillotine
Deflecting military firing squads
I was an atheist until I finally clocked that I was God
Tongue tied in knots mouth shut with iron locks
Brain seeps from my skull thinking outside the box
Searching Firefox to murder cyber cops
Break the Bill Gates smash the windows n burgle Microsoft
Don't get your wires crossed you're far from the truth
I'm no geek I'm just infinitely smarter than you
[Chorus]
Its either sink or swim get ripped limb from limb
We stuck with this through thick and thin (Argh)
And we the kings of kings
So bow down, now, pucker up kiss the ring (Mwah)
Its either sink or swim get ripped limb from limb
We stuck with this through thick and thin (Argh)
And we the kings of kings
So bow down, now, pucker up kiss the ring
[Possessed]
My acapellas are an act of terror, mad professor
Drill sergeant's skulls with a Black and Decker
Anorexic man possessed with Samson's strength
Pull the Pillars of Hercules back together
Taken for granted like genies and jinns
Swallow live grenades pick my teeth wit the pin
The father of lies
Tried to commit suicide slicing my wrist it only sharpened the knife
(Homie) larger than life, got you trembling shook
I'm fishing with President Bush's head on a hook
(Cursed) who inherits my looks
Spark forest fires flame breathing down your neck of the woods
If the crowd stand still, their scared stiff
Forget Eve I made the Blair Witch from my spare rib
Creations master stroke

I'm from parts unknown

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
