If you need to change your style sometimes.
To please and satisfy.
They'll call you a hypocrite.
You're giving birth to all new trends.
Visions they'll never comprehend.
Because they're all so selfish.
Everyone look at me chasing sirens.
Demanding their attention.
So selfish.
Everyone look at me chasing sirens.
Trying to discover what's wrong with my mind.
So they started the upheaval.
But you prompted the war.
You're still a hypocrite.
Snapping the sleepers into motion.
So their systems will change.
Right now you're giving up but let me show you.
Everyone look at me chasing sirens.
Demanding their attention.
So selfish.
Everyone look at me chasing sirens.
Trying to discover what's wrong with my mind.
You like to be the center of attention, don't you.
Under the spell of another phase.
So pretentious.
Plastic uninvited.
Don't you find it strange.
How they wear their egos on their sleeves.
Until they see your face.
Don't you find it strange.
How they wear their egos on their sleeves
Everyone look at me chasing sirens.
Demanding their attention.
So selfish.
Everyone look at me chasing sirens.
Demanding their attention.
So selfish.
This day should last forever.
Stuck on the merry go round.
Keep spinning.
Never want to come down.
So selfish.
This day should last forever.

    This is about pretentious barbie dolls such as Paris Hilton who think they reinvent the wheel everytime they start a new fashion trend...they think their shit doesn't stink and that we should all bow down to them cause they're so original, when really all those barbie doll, models and screen sirens are all the same..blonde, bimbos with plastic parts who have money but zero in terms of intelligence..another great example is that anorexic Nichole Ricci... You like to be the center of attention, don't you Under the spell of another phase So pretentious Plastic uninvited Don't you find it strange How they wear their egos on their sleeves Until they see your face

    She's always doing stuff to grab our attention..for example starvin herself, getting a DUI, drugs and such.

    Oh and I can't not mention Lindsay Lohan....she complains why the media is always invading her life and paying so much attention to her, when she does all this crap to draw attention to her, liife sleeping with every women chaser in hollywood including all of Paris' exes. I mean they always do things to signal sirens, drawing attention to themselves and then complain that the media won't leave them alone...they are hypocrites - hence this line (But you prompted the war You're still a hypocrite)

    they prompt the swarm of the media, then they are stuck in the media war...if they didn't keep feeding the media so much maybe they'd leave them alone more.

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”

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."

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
