They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend,
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud
My old friend,
I sweat I never meant for this
I never meant
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend,
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud
My old friend,
I sweat I never meant for this
I never meant
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

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
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."
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
This is a beautiful song and I love this band-- it's starting to gain a little buzz (even though the likeliest place to hear the songs is still Myspace.com) and I'm surprised it wasn't on here; I had to add it myself.
I see this song as being about a meaningful, old friendship gone wrong. The first part critisizes the subject of the song; the second part, after the chorus, indicates that it was really the storyteller who had done something wrong. It is about the decay of a mutual relationship.
I agree with lovefool and thanks for posting these songs. I think this band is awesome, I heard them through an new indie radio station and found them on myspace. When I first heard them I was blown away. I love how theyre songs just make you want to get up and dance.
I first herd this song on TV, and liked it then. Now its one of my favourites.
i love this song i heard it the other day nd i thought da lead singer from this band sounded like brandon flowers from the killers..da video rocks aswell da dominos r so cool!
luv the video also the singer is hot lol
this song is aishe, the video is really good, i dont know why but i really like how the arrow misses in the end lol
i really love this song, the lead singer sounds like alex kapranos outta franz ferdinand a bit. it always seems to be i find a band i really like just as soon as they are being hyped up on mtv :( ah well, us lot are ahead of the pack eh they are gonna be well famous i bet ya xxxxxx
LOVE THIS BAND!
no, the lead singer sam endicott does not sound like alex kapranos or brandon flowers, sam has a deeper depth in his voice and it's alot more melancholy that alex or brandons, i think this song is sam explaining to someone who has fallen out of friendship with him and apologizing without saying "i'm sorry".
sometimes i forget that i'm awake ,I fuck up and say these things out loud, my old friend
this line is him explaining what he did.
I read somewhere that Sam Endicott uses this song as a homosexual reference. As in he he kissed like one of his friends when drunk and it was an honest mistake and that person doesnt want to talk to him anymore.
Don’t look at me that way It was an honest mistake
