Let me tell you 'bout this girl, maybe I shouldn't
I met her in Philly and her name was brown sugar
See, we be making love constantly
That's why my eyes are a shade blood burgundy
The way that we kiss is unlike any other way
That I be kissin' when I'm kissin' what I'm missin'
Won't you listen?

Brown sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar)
Ooh, ooh

Oh, sugar when you're close to me
You love me right down to my knees
And whenever you let me hit it
Sweet like the honey when it comes to me (oh, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Skin is caramel with those cocoa eyes
Even got a big sister by the name of Chocolate Thai

Brown sugar babe, I gets high off your love (oh)
Don't know how to behave, yeah (oh)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar, ohh)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar)
(Oh, ayy) ooh, ooh

Oh, oh, ooh
Yo, Tail, cut me up some
Ohh
Oh no, no, ayy (ooh, ooh)
Da-da, da-da (ohh, ayy, ohh)

Now that'd be how the story goes
Brown sugar got me open, now I want some more, huh
Always down for a ménage à trois
But I think I'ma hit it solo
Hope my niggas don't mind
Stick out my tongue and I'm 'bout
Ready to hit this gritty, pretty
Bitty with persistence
Yo, I don't think ya'll hear me

Brown sugar babe, I gets high off your love
Don't know how to behave (yeah)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (oh, yeah, yeah)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar)
(I want some of your brown sugar, baby)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (oh, ayy, oh, baby)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (oh, yeah)
(Gimme some of your brown sugar, baby)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (ayy, said, oh yeah)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (ah, yeah, ooh, yeah, oh)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (ooh, yeah, ooh)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (ooh, yeah, brown sugar)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (so sweet, sweet, baby, so sweet to me, babe)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (oh, brown sugar, yeah, oh)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (that brown sugar, oh, hey, hey)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, ayy)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (brown sugar, sweet to me every night)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (every day, said, brown sugar in my cup)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (oh, brown sugar, baby, sweet as could be)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar) (give some here to me, ooh, ooh)
I want some of your brown sugar (sugar)

    Song Meaning

    This song is DEFINITELY about weed . Brown sugar --> meaning a swisher sweet (the body is brown . Sugar=Sweet)

    See we been makin' love constantly That's why my eyes are a shade Blood burgandy --> When you smoke weed your eyes turn bloodshot red .

    The way that we kiss is unlike any other way That I be kissin' when I'm kissin' what I'm missin' Won't you listen --> The way he kiss (smokes) the blunt is UNLIKE any other way that he kisses, when he kisses what he misses (actual woman) . Its a difference from the way he smoke to the way he actually kisses..

    Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love I don't know how to behave --> Basically self explanatory, if you understand anything about getting high .

    And whenever you let me hit it, Sweet like the honey when it comes to me. --> 'Hit it' hit the blunt , or the 'sweet' .

    Skin is caramel with the cocoa eyes Even got a big sister by the name of Chocolate Thai --> Up until this point i may not have convinced you . But Chocolate Thai is a form of Cannibus or WEED .

    Explaining the rest of the song from here on out is quite pointless . Point made .

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
