I'm in the drink for love
And want to drink your love
Swimmin' a swim in the suds
I want to drink your blood

Up like a rocket, down like the rain
Back and forth like a choo-choo train
I have a secret that just won't keep
All I wanna do is brush your teeth
Butterfly kisses
And the taste of delicious
I'd like to sip the sap from your tree
And the honey in the tea
Dripping amber drips
Patiently

I'm in the drink for love
And I want to drink your love
Squishin' toes in the mud
I want to drink your blood

Caught a snowflake on my tongue
A feathery crystal in the flavor of yum
Dropping clouds fallin' fast
Are you gonna to try some while they last?
Once the birds have migrated
Come Spring twitter painted
Up the river, I journey on
'Cause this salmon is ready to spawn
And f you have some swimming lessons
It would make it easier

I'm in the drink for love
And I want to drink your love
Swimmin' a swim in the suds
I want to drink your blood

    Minor minor correction: Twitterpated. First used in the 1942 film Bambi. Meaning completely head-over-heels in smitten love.

    I think this song is aobut someone who loves someone so much that they want them to be a part of themselves to the point where he would drink their blood

    That was the most bold, (to some) most offensive comment on this website. At least, that I've seen.

    I listened to this song a couple weeks ago, and the only thoughts in my head at the end were 1. wtf??? and 2. Yay! Shoe Box! Seriously, this is one of the weirdest songs ever, even for "BNL" songs (some would say not really BNL because only half the band was involved in recording it). Anyways, I've now used up the comment slot for these two years. Don't even think about it until sometime in 2010.

    SEX! "Back and Forth Like a choo choo train." Possibly vaginal oral sex..."I'm in the drink for love And I want to drink your love Swimmin' a swim in the suds I want to drink your blood." And what about the following paragraph: "Butterfly kisses And the taste of delicious I'd like to sip the sap from your tree And the honey in the tea Dripping amber drips Patiently" Vaginal oral SEX!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
