A heart drops it's emotion
Towards, it's not how it's supposed to be
And it all moves into one

Slow burn the devotion
We took turns, the stars fell over
And it all moves into one

The outcome is pseudo bliss
Turn hours sung, I went in tears
And it all rolled into one

Mind lit up
The second for
Centered on you
My conscience all lit up
This second for
Centered on you

She went, all we are
She went, all we are
She went, all we are
She went, all we are

A heart drops it's emotion (She went, all we are)
Towards, it's not how it's supposed to be (She went, all we are)
And it all moves into one

Mind lit up
The second for
Centered on you
My conscience all lit up
This second for
Centered on you

Mind its up for
The second for
Centered on you
My conscience all lit up
This second for
Centered on you
These moments uh
The second for
Centered on you

    My Interpretation

    I love this song! Very relaxing guitar and rhythm. The vocals add a nice touch too. I think the song is about two people, and one of them has just confessed their feelings towards the other. However, the other does not share the same feelings as the other person creating an unbalanced shift in their relationship.

    "A heart drops it's emotion Towards, 'it's not how it's supposed to be'"

    • The narrator confessed that they have greater feelings towards this other person. Unfortunately, this person does not share these feelings but would rather remain as friends. To be beyond friends "is not how it's supposed to be" and now the relationship is at an imbalance. Almost immediately, the person who confessed their feelings feels their heart drop due to the rejection and the possibility that they messed up their relationship.

    "Slow burn the devotion We took turns, the stars fell over"

    • After that, things don't seem to go back to normal. The stars falling over symbolizes that the sparkle in the relationship is burning away.

    "The outcome is pseudo bliss Turn hours sung, I went in tears"

    • They decided to remain just friends regardless that one of them wants to be more than that. As a result, one of them will not be truly happy being stuck in the "friend zone."

    "And it all rolled into one"

    • The last line ties all of these phases together very well. By admitting that they loved the other individual, they rolled their mutual relationship together into this one-sided romance. Now all of the possibilities of anything else beyond what they are now are gone like fallen stars.

    "Mind lit up The second for Centered on you My conscience all lit up This second for Centered on you"

    • They keep thinking about the possibility of being more than friends with the other person.

    (She went, "all we are" She went, "all we are" She went, "all we are" She went, "all we are")

    • The other person's rejection. The phrase "all we are" rejects the idea of something greater than from what it is now.

    This is just my interpretation.

    I'm pretty sure the lyrics are actually,

    "Mind lit up With second thoughts Centered on you Conscience all lit up With second thoughts Centered on you"

    And...

    "These moments of Second thoughts Centered on you"

    As well as,

    "Should we all wait up x4"

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/
