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”
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Can you believe that I write this shit
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Stupid people thinkin' I am cool
I definitely give myself props
And that way I always get what I want
I always try to keep my edge
With 2 hookers and an
8 ball niggas and all the dope dealers
As I rock them digits and get
Freaky deaky with a front row ticket
For all of my bitches
Cuz my momma said to pick the very best one
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Can you believe that I write this shit
2 hookers and an 8 ball
It ain't that fucking hard
I'm standing up to all my abuse
Inexperience is where I lose
I'm struggling to keep my edge
With 2 hookers and an
8 ball, babies for all the fine ladies
Rollin out in my Mercedes
And into the 80's
With a bad case of rabies
And a high-top fade
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Can you believe that I write this shit
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Stupid people thinking I am cool
Saturday

Oh, no, no

8 ball, niggas and all the dope dealers
As I rock them digits and get
Freaky deaky with a front row ticket
For all of my bitches
Cuz my momma said to pick the very best one
2 hookers and an 8 ball
Can you believe that I write this shit?

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 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,

“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.
"I definitely give myself props And that way I always get what I want"
Giving yourself 2 hookers and an 8 ball is a nice reward for doing something (props is something we all want right?) He always gets what he wants (right? ;p
"I'm standing up to all my abuse Inexperience is when I lose"
A war can stengthen the man fighting it (with experience). If one "stands up" (fights) his own abuse, he's getting an experience and moving forward (rather than away from his abuse)
"How 'bout that coke? You want that coke? Oh, oh, oh I thought I told ya to go I want that cocaine Want the coke Oh, ah, ah I thought I told ya to go How bout that cocaine Want that coke Oh, ah, ah I thought I told ya to go Well then go Fuckin go"
Sounds like yourself when you're fighting an addiction? (video games, women, booz, COKE, maybe HEROIN)
Rollin out in my Mercedes And into the 80's With a bad case of rabies And a high-top fade
