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.
We hide in the cupboards
And under the stairs
We poison each other
But we know that nobody cares
We look at each other
With a compound eye
See something that's nothing
And then start to cry
You made me
I am a part of you
You made me want
I am a part of you
I liked you once
Crawl quick past each other
The cord starts to break
I gave you too much
That's my big mistake
We look like each other
Sew you to my chest
Then say that I won't
Faithfully, as I fuck all the rest
You made me
I am a part of you
You made me want
I am a part of you
You loved me once
Help me shut out painful world
When insect boy becomes a girl
I am a part of you
You made me want
I am a part of you
I was you once
I don't want this
I want this
I don't want this
I want this
Cockroach will rise, will crash, will burn...
And under the stairs
We poison each other
But we know that nobody cares
We look at each other
With a compound eye
See something that's nothing
And then start to cry
You made me
I am a part of you
You made me want
I am a part of you
I liked you once
Crawl quick past each other
The cord starts to break
I gave you too much
That's my big mistake
We look like each other
Sew you to my chest
Then say that I won't
Faithfully, as I fuck all the rest
You made me
I am a part of you
You made me want
I am a part of you
You loved me once
Help me shut out painful world
When insect boy becomes a girl
I am a part of you
You made me want
I am a part of you
I was you once
I don't want this
I want this
I don't want this
I want this
Cockroach will rise, will crash, will burn...

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.

Another Love
Tom Odell
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
like one of the previous posters, i think it's about incest. her father. she says that she dropped her last name, fodera, because she isn't fond of the person it belongs to. and these lines:
we hide in the cupboards and under the stairs
see something that's nothing and then start to cry
you made me i am a part of you
i liked you once (until you started abusing me, maybe?)
we look like each other sew you to my chest then say that i won't faithfully, as i fuck all the rest (the whole thing, like how fathers get all protective of their "little girls" when they get old enough to start having boyfriends and stuff. and the possessiveness that comes with incest, "no-one will ever love you as much as i do, and i'm going to prove it to you by having sex with you." but then the girl rebels and has lots of casual sex with people she doesn't care about because she's so messed up from the abuse.)
i don't want this i want this i don't want this i want this (understandable confusion...)
no clue what it means, but i love this line anyway:
help-me-shut-out-pain-ful-world when-in-sect-boy-be-comes-a-girl
this line. oh dear.
cockroach will rise, will crash, will burn
now this is probably totally weird of me to think. but has anyone read marilyn manson's autobiography, the long hard road out of hell? as you probably know if you're a spooky kids/jack off jill fan, manson was pretty involved with the beginning of jessicka's band. and in that book, he catches his grandfather masturbating, "i turned my head away, too late to keep from imagining the white pus squeezing out of his yellow, wrinkled penis like the insides of a squashed cockroach." ok, TECHNICALLY he's comparing the SEMEN to cockroach GUTS, not the actual penis to a cockroach. but still, it makes me think of that, "cockroach will rise" and i'll leave that to your imagination...and then whole situation blows up, "crashes, burns." like that other line, see something that's nothing/and then start to cry. like a family member maybe saw something suspicous and they tried to convince themselves it was nothing.
anyway. it's a great song, one of their best.
i dont see the reason for the lack of posts on this song. it may not be as deep as vivica or strawberry gashes but its still fucking great. very morbid. one of my favorite songs at the moment.
could be based on the relationship btw a child and parent. Perhaps the child is old now and is very distant, or minimally-emotionally-tied to the parent. When I read the lyrics I saw a person who remembers something good about this parent, but realizes he/she was really no good. That's how I saw it, but is not neccessarily how I would interpret it =P
i dont see why either this song is one of the best!
Umm... Awesome song. Not sure exactly how to interpret it, though. It's definately about a relationship of somesort. Maybe I'll post something more after.
i think it's about needing someone and wanting them but she/you end up giving them to much and you both end up destroying each other.
Awesome song. One of my favorites. Best line "faithfully, as I fuck all the rest, you made me" I think this song is about a relationship and hating one another, so you go around with other people.
I think this song is about a relationship , but it doesnt always work that well between you and that person, you love each other but at the same time you also feel hate:
"Crawl quick past each other The cord starts to break I gave you too much That's my big mistake
We look like each other Sew you to my chest Then say that I won't Faithfully, as I fuck all the rest"
You both know that the thing you have is something you cant keep.. it will always turn out wrong, even though you want it to be perfect:
"see something thats nothing and then start to cry"
You are destroying each other, because of the pain you both feel, it makes you fall apart.. you're feeling like a part of you is dying. I think they mean that with "I am a part of you".. With "You made me" they might mean that the other person made you love him/her (because he/she seemed so special but now you also know the badsides of the person) , but now everything changed and you just dont feel like being a part of his life anymore because the other person doesnt feel love for you anymore and you're just staying together because of what you once used to be:
"You made me I am a part of you You made me want I am a part of you You loved me once"
I really love this song, I love the lines and I love jessicka's voice, the song seems cute, but the lines are filled with sadness and I agree that it is a very good song, its not like the usual stuff.. its very special to me..
I really want to hear this song. Can't download it anywhere, i tried limewire or kazaa, but the files in the results never have enough users.
I think this song is about incest
