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”
Yeah, say somethin' (ooh)
Say somethin', say somethin', yeah, damn (ohh)
Say somethin', say somethin', damn (oooh, ohh, yeah)
I'm over here, looking at you
You are over there, watching me too
Both painting pictures of, of how we'll kiss and hug
So what we gon' do?
(So what you gon' do, what you gon' do?)
Tell me why we're standing here
The moment's fresh and so sincere
You've got my mind blown and baby, I'm ready to go (hey)
But, uh
If it's worth your while, say somethin', say somethin'
If it's worth your while, say somethin' good to me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
If it's worth your while, do somethin' good to me
Let's make it
Hot as you can stand it, somethin' like volcanic
You and me seems organic just like the stars and planets
Yeah, we are, so what you gon' do?
(So what you gon' do, what you gon' do?)
Tell me why we're still in here (tell me, tell me, tell me)
There's nothing for us to fear
I could tell with my eyes closed, now, baby, I'm ready to go
(Hey)
But, uh
If it's worth your while, say somethin', say somethin'
If it's worth your while, say somethin' good to me (say somethin', somethin')
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
If it's worth your while, do somethin' good to me
If it's worth your while, say somethin', say somethin'
If it's worth your while, say somethin' good to me, baby
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
If it's worth your while, do somethin' good to me
Every time I fall though, want me to speak on the word or two
It's the D-O, double-G, and I do it so love-ly
Digging this track by the Neptune's
Baby girl, follow me to the restroom
Now get buck wild, shh, don't make a sound
I'll take you, lay you down
Make your body go 'round and 'round
Do you want me to, don't say you won't, I know you do
Most girls play shy, it won't hurt until you give it a try
I know you like my smile
Dig my style, dig the bow wow
But, uh
If it's worth your while, say somethin', say somethin' (say somethin', ooh)
If it's worth your while, say somethin' good to me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
If it's worth your while, do somethin' good to me
If it's worth your while, say somethin', say somethin'
If it's worth your while, say somethin' good to me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
If it's worth your while, do somethin' good to me
Say somethin', say somethin', yeah, damn (ohh)
Say somethin', say somethin', damn (oooh, ohh, yeah)
I'm over here, looking at you

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is a fun lovely song, I love the MC and Snoop Dog combination...not too much meaning behind it, unlike Crybaby, but she seems to feel better here and that's always a good thing! Lol at "Both painting pictures of, how we’ll kiss and ****!" hahaha
Looks like Say Somethin' is the next single released from TEOM, along with Fly Like A Bird (Gospel)
Why is this half done? It doesn't have what Snoop Dogg says... :|
