Brave, yeah I know
Burn a mark when you let me go
It’s like you don’t even own what you’re selling me
Clock time down this empty street all alone

Mmm all alone
I’ve never given it up this way
Never given it up this way


Now please stop (stop)
And know that you’re running me rapid
I’ve really got to try for this
Try for this
(And I've really got to try for this)
Now please stop (stop)
(Try for this)
And know that you’re running me rapid
I’ve really got to try for this
Try for this

Boy, let’s sit on your carpet
I really want a chance
And let go of your body
Say Vasey ya hey
They won’t find us if we get lost on the road

Boy, let’s sit on your carpet
I really want a chance
And let go of your body
Say Vasey ya hey
They won’t find us, so get lost and go

Boy, let’s sit on your carpet
I really want a chance
And let go of your body
Say Vasey ya hey
They won’t find us, so get lost and go

Boy, let’s sit on your carpet
I really want to dance
And hold my body
Vasey ya hey
They won’t find us, so get lost and go

Brave, yeah I know
Burn a mark when you let me go
It’s like you don’t even own what you’re selling me
Clock time down this empty street all alone

Mmm all alone
I’ve never given it up this way
Never given it up this way


Now please stop (stop)
And know that you’re running me rapid
I’ve really got to try for this
Try for this
(And I've really got to try for this)
Now please stop (stop)
(Try for this)
And know that you’re running me rapid
I’ve really got to try for this
Try for this

    Song Meaning

    Okay well I think this song is about a guy named Vasey who Veela loved. But I really don't know. I searched up "Vasey ya hey" on google translate and it turns out it's French for "Hey there Vasey" and Veela is French Canadian...sooooo.

    Yeah, it's probably about a guy, but isn't Vasey a strange name? Maybe it means "vas y" (also french, means something like "let's go" or "come on"). At least it fits, doesn't it?

    Song Meaning

    Veela: "One of the few songs about a boy. I know a guy (hint: he was in one of my videos) who I find so interesting. He’s very reserved. I always just wanted to bring him home, sit on his carpet and have him just open up to me. He drove me nuts, and I loved it. "

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
