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.
Hey, I geuss I'll figure it out
The reasons why things went the way they did
And why we can't accept it
We'd Fall asleep, but not before we excorcised the evil things that everyone
Hides
We would lie there in my bed,
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
No clothes, sweaty doing all those things I never thought I'd do
And I did them with you
and hey, don't feel bad.
No one can ever take away the boardwalk trips or the subways
I think we grew up
Past the hang-ups and the evil stares
The fuck you toos and I don't cares
We would lie there in my bed,
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
No clothes, sweaty doing all those things I never thought I'd do
And I did them with you
Hey, I geuss I'll figure it out
The reasons why things went the way they did
And why we can't accept it
We'd Fall asleep, but not before we excorcised the evil things that everyone
Hides
We would lie there in my bed,
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
And even though we brought it crashing to an end, I loved it all
And now I love my friend
I loved it all,
I love the girl,
I love my friend.
The reasons why things went the way they did
And why we can't accept it
We'd Fall asleep, but not before we excorcised the evil things that everyone
Hides
We would lie there in my bed,
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
No clothes, sweaty doing all those things I never thought I'd do
And I did them with you
and hey, don't feel bad.
No one can ever take away the boardwalk trips or the subways
I think we grew up
Past the hang-ups and the evil stares
The fuck you toos and I don't cares
We would lie there in my bed,
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
No clothes, sweaty doing all those things I never thought I'd do
And I did them with you
Hey, I geuss I'll figure it out
The reasons why things went the way they did
And why we can't accept it
We'd Fall asleep, but not before we excorcised the evil things that everyone
Hides
We would lie there in my bed,
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
And even though we brought it crashing to an end, I loved it all
And now I love my friend
I loved it all,
I love the girl,
I love my friend.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

I love this song1 It's mi favorite on the new album.. It's about doin' the nasty ;) and i love it! It's so great..
there is something about this song (and also "kelly"), where the simplicity of it is what makes it such an amazing song. it's just simple, and true, and very understandable.
my god i love this song.
hmmm. i agree. amazing song. completely true to many of our situations. its def. one of those... i love it so much i have to be a loser and put it in my info kinds of songs. Ive known about the movielife for years, and they are still doing great.
this song completely kicks ass
I think we grew up Past the hang-ups and the evil stares The fuck you too's and I don't care's
i can sooo relate to that
i think that when they say "exercise" they really mean "exorcise"..like when you exorcise your demons...tho sex can be a good workout!
exercise can also mean to "act out" like when you "exercise an option"... but ... it sure would be interesting if they had chosen "exorcise".... crazy connotations there... but as for me... sex is a mmm wonderful, beautiful thing... don't exorcise me!
undrmyumbrlla you're right saying "exorcise". If you have the actual CD, the lyrics read "exorcised" not "exercised."
I've seen them live twice since their new CD came out and they played this song the second time and it made me so happy! It's my favorite off of "40 Hour Train Back to Penn."
Yeah this song is soo good
this is the first movielife song i had heard. i immediately fell in love with it. my friend just recently burned the cd for me and it's guuurate! the movielife are an awesome band!
No one can ever take away the boardwalk trips or us away
I think its "take away the boardwalk trrips and subways"
