There she goes
There she goes again
Racin' through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains

There she blows (there she blows again)
There she blows again (there she blows again)
Pulsin' through my vein (there she blows again)
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name
Pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
But I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Chasin' down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains

There she goes (there she goes again)
There she goes (there she goes again)
There she goes (there she goes again)

    it's a song with a double meaning, therefore there is no "real meaning," because there are TWO. one being drugs, one being a girl, it doesn't matter which you choose, neither one is wrong because that's how it was written. you just take it how you will. personally, i always thought it was about a girl, so no, it's not "obviously about heroin." he says nothing about needles or being high, he just uses words that could also go with a love song, so it's NOT obvious, and i think that's how it's supposed to be.

    A lot of people might say this is about a girl, or about drugs or about whatever. But I just like to think of it as one of the songs that was big when I was a kid. Ace track.

    This song is about heroin addiction, "there she blows... pulsing through my veins... calls my name... no one else can heal my pain... chasing down my lane" its a wee bit obvious if you look at it! Lee Mavers may have said its not, but thats not what he said at first, and seeing as hes lived for the last decade off the royalties he gets for the song i wouldnt be surprised if he tries to clean it up a bit in retrospect! Absolutely brilliant song, even if it was written about heroin, as with all art its open to personal interpretation, if you want to read it as one of the most beautiful love songs ever written then thats what you do

    I like this song, cause you don't have to think too much to understand the meaning (regardless of whether you choose to believe it is about drugs, or a girl, which it's perfectly plausible that it could mean either). I think it's an uplifting song that is great to sing along to.

    The "pulsing through my vein" line is the only one I can see remotely related to drug use. Personally I prefer the more innocent take on the song, but that's just me. The love song take is far more universal. Everybody has somebody that makes their heart race. Often times it might be a friend who you can't admit those feelings to.

    I like to see the much more innocent meaning of seeing a girl he likes, not about a serious heroin addiction. Call me naive or ignorant, but it fits the innocent and simple feeling of the song better.

    I don't think this is about drugs I think this about a guy who loved a girl but eventually he stopped loving or having a crush on her. But he keeps on seeing her or thinking about her and the part of him thats stills loves her is getting bigger.

    there she goes there she goes again racing thru' my brain

    and i just can't contain this feelin' that remains

    I dpn't think this is about drugs because if he was taking the drugs he would be blowing her not him blowing him (that sounded very wrong).

    If it's not about drugs, what is it's true meaning?

    There have been rumours about Mavers heroin addiction for ages. Either way, its a genius song...taken as a sweet love song(u hear this everywhere from nappy to holiday commericials)or a dark take on heroin.

    Mavers would be stupid to admit the real meaning of this song seeing the royalties he must get off this track and the fact that it's so damn obvious.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

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.

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.
