Her daddy got a big aeroplane
Her mommy holds all the family cash
A beautiful blows, I stay at the corner
She is living in and out of tune

Hey you
You're losing, you're losing
You're losing, you're losing your vitamin C

Hey you
You're losing, you're losing
You're losing, you're losing your vitamin C
Your vitamin C

A monster press machine in on her body
While she is stepping on the quicksand
A beautiful rose, stay at the corner
She is living in and out of tune

Hey you
You're losing, you're losing
You're losing, you're losing your vitamin C

Hey you
You're losing, you're losing
You're losing, you're losing your vitamin C
Your vitamin C

Hey you
You're losing, you're losing
You're losing, you're losing your vitamin C

Hey you
You're losing, you're losing
You're losing, you're losing your vitamin C

    Her daddy got a big aeroplane Her mommy holds all the family cash:

    Her “Daddy” is “God” [Big Aeroplane = Wings = Takes her to Higher Planes of Mind and Soul = Air = Spiritual energies] Her “Mommy” is “Mother Nature” [Cash is made from paper, paper is made from trees = Family = Roots = Earth = Takes her Deep within Body and Heart = Physical energies]

    Her Mommy gives her Roots. Her Daddy gives her Wings.

    A Beautiful Rose Is Standing In The Corner: She is mostly a wallflower. She likes it there, it’s comforting, and she prefers to observe (people watch), her surroundings, but given the right atmosphere and energy…“Nobody puts Baby in the corner.” [Dirty dancing]

    She Is Living In And Out Of Tune: She alternates between mostly living in the clouds/space and sometimes grounded on earth. Her mind and soul lives in the clouds/space, but her body and heart are grounded here on earth.

    Hey you you're losing, you're losing, you're losing, you're losing your vitamin C Your vitamin C:

    [Vitamin C] sounds a lot like [Vibrancy]. You’re losing your lust for life, your energy, your glow. She sounds like a homebody and doesn’t ever go outside, which creates no opportunities for positive experiences to happen in her way/path. By not taking in Vitamin C [activity], she is slowly losing her Vibrancy, which she is slowly looking dull on the outside to people looking at her from the outside. To her, maybe she is vibrant on the inside, but she just may not want to show it, be afraid to show it, or wants to show it, just doesn’t know how to go about doing so. She just can’t seem to grasp what she wants to do with her life…or maybe she does, but it is not what society looks at as “ambitious.” If she doesn’t show vibrancy/take in vitamin c though, she won’t be in any opportunistic position to find what she is truly passionate about. Maybe she just isn’t ambitious and already knows what will make her happy…Who knows what could be going on in a head that alternates between mostly living in the clouds and sometimes grounded on earth.

    Both of these lines could be taken positively, negatively, or both depending on how one views it. Who’s to judge?

    [Have not gotten to interpreting, "And at Christmas, riding on her pony Or she is stepping on the pigman's head." Not sure if that is the correct lyrics there. I found another lyric site, and it said "A monster press machine is on her body She's stepping on quicksand"]

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."
