This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I feel like a leech to everyone around me
Unsure and false promises I make
I invade your existence with my dependence
And leave you guilt tripped until you take
Care of me, for if not, I will surely die
I don’t feed or clean myself and I am always high,
Putting pipe dreams before the necessities in life
Without your help I have no hope to survive
Now I know that sounds pathetic
That’s because that’s what I am
So open about my flaws
But it’s all a part of my plan
For If I can recognize my flaws,
You’ll assume I’m trying to change,
But I am lazy and disheartened
And I know I will remain the same
Taking all you can give me trying to live in excess
You know, you’ll make my life much easier, I’ll make your life a mess
Squirm away, stupid leech boy, go and die now in the drain,
You speak only of your sadness but are yet to feel true pain.
As I get older I also worsen
I used to be a better person
Growing into a constant burden
Introducing: man-child
I am scared I’ll lose my job because I always go in stoned,
If I do will you feed me, take me in and hear me moan?
If you don’t, I’m on your conscience and will surely die alone
Invite me in to regret it, as I take over your home
Oh so useless and demanding no I will not help out with chores
I’ll bring no money or conversation. Unmotivated and bored
Staring blankly into space, absorbing all you have worked for,
I will disappoint those who think I can do more
I warn you now to avoid me
I may not bite the hand that feeds,
But I will wrap my lips around it
And I will suck off all the meat
You’ll be left feeling used once you find out I’m a leech,
I’ve taken all you can give and then I will up and leave
No shame or dignity left in me as I scout out brand new friends
To invade with my dependence and let it start again
As I get older I also worsen
I used to be a better person
Growing into a constant burden
Introducing: man-child
Unsure and false promises I make
I invade your existence with my dependence
And leave you guilt tripped until you take
Care of me, for if not, I will surely die
I don’t feed or clean myself and I am always high,
Putting pipe dreams before the necessities in life
Without your help I have no hope to survive
Now I know that sounds pathetic
That’s because that’s what I am
So open about my flaws
But it’s all a part of my plan
For If I can recognize my flaws,
You’ll assume I’m trying to change,
But I am lazy and disheartened
And I know I will remain the same
Taking all you can give me trying to live in excess
You know, you’ll make my life much easier, I’ll make your life a mess
Squirm away, stupid leech boy, go and die now in the drain,
You speak only of your sadness but are yet to feel true pain.
As I get older I also worsen
I used to be a better person
Growing into a constant burden
Introducing: man-child
I am scared I’ll lose my job because I always go in stoned,
If I do will you feed me, take me in and hear me moan?
If you don’t, I’m on your conscience and will surely die alone

Oh so useless and demanding no I will not help out with chores
I’ll bring no money or conversation. Unmotivated and bored
Staring blankly into space, absorbing all you have worked for,
I will disappoint those who think I can do more

But I will wrap my lips around it
And I will suck off all the meat
You’ll be left feeling used once you find out I’m a leech,
I’ve taken all you can give and then I will up and leave
No shame or dignity left in me as I scout out brand new friends
To invade with my dependence and let it start again
As I get older I also worsen
I used to be a better person
Growing into a constant burden

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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
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.
