Exponentially serving
Perpetually unnerving
Vehicle swerving
The adjectives they are all a blurring
Freud walking the sidelines
Clipboard, score on the brain
Black magic viente why tres
Makes me sane
Hormones firing like a fifty foot roman, yeah
Please don't make me explain
Don't matter anyway
Phantom pain in my brain
It's all that's left of my leg
Black and red and yellow, black and red and yellow
Heard you repeat a what ya heard
Me knowing the truth I cannot concur na-na
Hormones firing like a fifty foot roman, yeah
Please don't make me explain
Doesn't matter anyway
Hormones firing like a fifty foot roman, yeah
Please don't make me explain
Yo bro tell us what's happenin' um I'm on the west
West side of, on the west coast
Give me a jingle uh when you get in
From where the fuck you're at
Hormones firing like a fifty foot roman, yeah
Please don't make me explain
Doesn't fucking matter anyway
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah
Please don't make me explain

    Well, I never thought that Rodman would be a Pearl Jam fan, but oh well...I don't really know if this song was made for him though...like, the verses have nothing to do with the guy...it's pretty confusing.

    Especially the "fifty foot Roman" part...WTF? lol...

    Pretty good song, a throwaway, yes, but it was made just for fun...

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”

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
