This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Uh huh
Baby
Uh huh, uh
Said it's goin' on tonight
Yo, see yo, uh huh, ya'll know what it is
We 'bout to do it real big, yo
So So Def
Off the heezy
[Chorus]
You off the heezy
The way you walk
I'm tryin' to sample that tonight
Off the heezy
We can do it real big, baby
Would that be alright
Off the heezy
If you was my boo
You could do whatever you want to
I don't want to try to hold you down
I just want to get it started
Tyrese
[Tyrese]
All night long it's been hard for me to pay attention
To what me and my peoples are doing, eh
It's not often that I'm in this position
Though I've seen a lot, but not this hot
Girl, you've got me crazy
[Chorus]
Usually I don't pay no mind to girls this way
Me neither
But honey ain't your average little mommy
Oh
[Tyrese]
Just tryin' to find the right thing to say
Something tells me that if you and I got it poppin'
Girl, it won't be no stoppin'
It'll be one thing after the other
[JD]
This is the part I like right here
[Tyrese]
Where've you been
What I gotta do to see you again
Are the first words that came into my mind
I never met nobody as bad as you (That's right)
Who ain't got no attitude
That's what makes the situation, for sure
[JD]
Uh-oh
It's that cat from the south
Everybody just can't stop talkin' about
Lips stay poked out cause I cannot lose
Every record I make, I got something to prove
It's a man's world, so don't even trip real big
Y'all know how I do this shit
And I'm the truth like a California bag of trees
From ATL to Watts nigga, off the heez'
[Chorus: x2]
I want to get it started oh
Baby
Uh huh, uh
Said it's goin' on tonight
Yo, see yo, uh huh, ya'll know what it is
We 'bout to do it real big, yo
So So Def
Off the heezy
[Chorus]
You off the heezy
The way you walk
I'm tryin' to sample that tonight
Off the heezy
We can do it real big, baby
Would that be alright
Off the heezy
If you was my boo
You could do whatever you want to
I don't want to try to hold you down
I just want to get it started
Tyrese

All night long it's been hard for me to pay attention

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”
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."
Magical

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.
