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.
There's a girl who lives on second street, she cries on every time we meet.
She's the only girl, I want her to be.
On the sidewalks going out tonight, the street lights make her look just right
She's the only girl, I want her to be.
And on the darkest nights, she occupies my time.
I can't wait for the day to make her, make her mine.
And the window that i saw her in afraid that I could not sleep in
To save a place in your head for me.
And on the darkest nights, she occupies my time.
I can't wait for the day to make her, make her mine.
And i'll tell you that its ok
So many things i want to hear you say
There's a girl who lives on second street, she cries on every time we meet.
She's the only girl, I want her to be.
She's the only girl, I want her to be.
There's a girl who lives on second street,
She's the only girl, I want her to be.
She's the only girl, I want her to be.
On the sidewalks going out tonight, the street lights make her look just right
She's the only girl, I want her to be.
And on the darkest nights, she occupies my time.
I can't wait for the day to make her, make her mine.
And the window that i saw her in afraid that I could not sleep in
To save a place in your head for me.
And on the darkest nights, she occupies my time.
I can't wait for the day to make her, make her mine.
And i'll tell you that its ok
So many things i want to hear you say
There's a girl who lives on second street, she cries on every time we meet.
She's the only girl, I want her to be.
She's the only girl, I want her to be.
There's a girl who lives on second street,
She's the only girl, I want her to be.

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."
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/

this song is really cool. i like how its a bit different that the green day stuff. when people make side projects they usually sound the same. but this dont. this and kathleen are like my favorite songs by them. and yes. it is quite catchy! ^__^
havent heard this song actually i was just checkin out this band cuz i love green day :-) but i like these lyrics
this song is about a boy regularly seeing a girl walking by. she is the one he thinks about when he's dreaming and fantasizing at night. he doesn't know her, but as she walks by she looks just perfect and that's all that matters....
funny how 6 comments stretch over a 3 year gap. I agree with MapleLeaf about the meaning, its quite obvious. This is the only song that i can find, on this subject, that i can relate to :(
