This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
One for the road, ooh ooh
One for the road, ooh ooh
From the bottom of your heart
The relegation zone
I saw this coming from the start
The shake, rattle and roll
The cracks in blackout blinds
Cast patterns on the ceiling but you're feeling fine
I thought it was dark outside
I thought it was dark outside
(One for the road)
So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
There's no need to show me 'round, baby, I feel like I've been here before
I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go
Will you pour me one for the road?
I knew this would be on the cards
I knew you wouldn't fold
I saw this coming from the start
The shake, rattle and roll
(One for the road)
So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
There's no need to show me 'round, baby, I feel like I've been here before
I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go
Will you pour me one for the road?
The mixture hits you hard
Don't get that sinking feeling
Don't fall apart
Some out of tune guitar
Soundtrack to disaster
Ooh ooh, one for the road
Ooh ooh, one for the road
Ooh ooh, one for the road
Ooh ooh, one for the road
So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
There's no need to show me 'round, baby, I feel like I've been here before
I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go
Will you pour me one for the road?
One for the road, ooh ooh
From the bottom of your heart
The relegation zone
I saw this coming from the start
The shake, rattle and roll
The cracks in blackout blinds
Cast patterns on the ceiling but you're feeling fine
I thought it was dark outside
I thought it was dark outside
(One for the road)
So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
There's no need to show me 'round, baby, I feel like I've been here before
I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go
Will you pour me one for the road?
I knew this would be on the cards
I knew you wouldn't fold
I saw this coming from the start
The shake, rattle and roll
(One for the road)
So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
There's no need to show me 'round, baby, I feel like I've been here before
I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go
Will you pour me one for the road?
The mixture hits you hard
Don't get that sinking feeling
Don't fall apart
Some out of tune guitar
Soundtrack to disaster
Ooh ooh, one for the road
Ooh ooh, one for the road
Ooh ooh, one for the road
Ooh ooh, one for the road
So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
There's no need to show me 'round, baby, I feel like I've been here before
I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go
Will you pour me one for the road?

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."

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think that the rapey interpretation is plausible, but I think it can also be viewed from another angle that isn't so creepy. I choose to believe it's a song about a guy who's in the friend zone, and he thinks that this might be his chance to finally get intimate with this girl. From the start, he knew that eventually he'd get his chance (I knew this was in the cards) and he knew that she'd be interested (I knew you wouldn't fold). Then, when she pours him that one last drink, the mixture hitting her hard and the disaster that comes isn't her getting drugged, it's just her getting too drunk and passing out, and he missed his chance. He's still in the friend zone. Disaster. When interpreted this way, it's a song about sexual tension and missed chances, but not rapey.
