(Chorus)
She says she loves me
but she comes and goes when she pleases
when the door shuts
it's like another papercut
and now I'm stuck with a hand full of bandaids
until she comes back around like them ceiling fan blades
claims she loves me
but she cuts me into pieces
when I'm sewed up
here comes another papercut
now I'm stuck with a hand full of bandaids
until she comes back around like them cailing fan blades.....

we met 22 years back
fresh out the womb
now she consumes me,
no room for self these days
and she's so demanding
do this, do that
don't forget to take your medicine
I hate it when her face is invading my head again
the welcome mat reads "please take off your shoes"
but she disregards the statement
I've grown accustomed to bending my beliefs to
satisfy her needs
but I'm fed up
with plugging cuts everytime they bleed
so I dip my pen in the puddle
what a bloody mess its been
trying to end this struggle
but I love her,
she's the reson for the lesions
man I love her
I start bleeding when she's leaving
and every scar on my fingertip is a reminder of
all the lessons learned
on my missions to try to find her but
I'll sit alone until she comes back home
and I'll be waiting by the phone

(phone rings: "Hello?")

(Chorus)

(On the Phone)
She don't live here no more
I heard she's staying down the street with two dead beat
that don't treat her right with two bad ass kids
Guilt and Regret
and I'm willing to bet
my last album (that?) she's wishing she was kissing me

Man the nerve of this bitch
pardon my French
but it's been 10 days
and I'm getting kind of light headed
maybe I'll write her a letter in a gentleman's way
and send it with the hopes that she might get it
I can't believe I let her run all over me
but all I think about is
when she's here and holding me
I love her
She's the reason for the lesions
man I love her
I start bleeding when she's leaving
and every scar on my fingertip is a reminder of
all the lessons learned
all my missions trying to find her and
I can't complain
I kind of like the pain
She ain't even got a name
she just lives in my brain
and says.......(chorus)

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
