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.
Mmm, oh, it hurts so bad
It started out so perfect, something God could only create
A union of both me and you on this special day
Never once did I take for granted that you've been hurt before
So you treated me like a lady and even more
So I can't understand why you brought
Storms into my life, tell me why
You destroyed every part of me
Now what once a beautiful lady that you
Showered with your love must live with a heart that bleeds
I hope you never have to come this way again
(This way again)
You used to be my lover and my friend
(That was the end)
So please don't take offense when I say what I have to say
'Cause if you died I wouldn't cry 'cause you never loved me anyway
Promises made and secrets told, late nights spent in ecstasy
We made love in a bed of roses for the universe to see
There was no holding back from each other both of our minds were free
We never wasted time apart, boy, it seems like eternity, yeah
So I can't understand why you brought
This pain into my life, oh, tell me why
I gave you a reason to live and you used my love in vain
So go on by yourself to survive this alone
You know you can't come back home
I hope you never have to come this way again
(I hope you never come this way again)
You used to be my lover and my friend
(You did you did)
So please don't take offense when I say what I have to say
If you died I wouldn't cry 'cause you never loved me anyway
No way, no way
How could this be, after all the love you said
We shared, you turned around and leave?
Boy, you know you were my heart and soul
But I can't be hurt, I gotta let you go
"Together, forever", that's what we both said
I didn't know that life could be so unfair
I hope you never have to come this way again
(Baby, you did this to me)
You used to be my lover and my friend
(You were my lover)
So please don't take offense when I say what I have to say
I hope you die, I hope you die 'cause you never loved me anyway
I hope you never have to come this way again
(You never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never)
You used to be my lover and my friend
(You used to be my best friend)
You can get struck by lighting, washed away by the sea
Burned in a fire, just don't bring it back to me 'cause
If you died I wouldn't cry 'cause you never loved me anyway
It started out so perfect, something God could only create
A union of both me and you on this special day
Never once did I take for granted that you've been hurt before
So you treated me like a lady and even more
So I can't understand why you brought
Storms into my life, tell me why
You destroyed every part of me
Now what once a beautiful lady that you
Showered with your love must live with a heart that bleeds
I hope you never have to come this way again
(This way again)
You used to be my lover and my friend
(That was the end)
So please don't take offense when I say what I have to say
'Cause if you died I wouldn't cry 'cause you never loved me anyway
Promises made and secrets told, late nights spent in ecstasy
We made love in a bed of roses for the universe to see
There was no holding back from each other both of our minds were free
We never wasted time apart, boy, it seems like eternity, yeah
So I can't understand why you brought
This pain into my life, oh, tell me why
I gave you a reason to live and you used my love in vain
So go on by yourself to survive this alone
You know you can't come back home
I hope you never have to come this way again
(I hope you never come this way again)

If you died I wouldn't cry 'cause you never loved me anyway

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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 song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
when i first heard this song... i thought it was the most terrible thing... to say you wouldn't care if someone dies... because they did you wrong... and at the end of the song to WISH that they would die! that's crazy! but you know... you CAN have those emotions... and surprisingly, it has become one of the songs i've played the most this and last year...
ohh, it hurts sooo bad.... (it started out so perfect...)
