It's True That We Love One Another (feat. Holly Golighty)

The White Stripes

All: Well it's true that we love one another

Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother

Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

Holly: Jack give me some money to pay my bills

Jack: All the dough I give you Holly
You been using on pain pills

Holly: Jack will you call me if you're able?

Jack: I got your phone number written
In the back of my bible

Holly: Jack I think your pulling my leg
And I think maybe I better ask Meg
Meg do you think Jack really loves me?

Meg: You know, I don't care because
Jack really bugs me
Why don't you ask him now?

Holly: Well I would but Meg
I really just don't know how

Meg: Just say 'Jack , do you adore me?'

Jack: Well I would Holly but love really bores me

All: Then i guess we should just be friends

Jack: I'm just kidding Holly
You know that I'll love you 'til the end

All: Well it's true that we love one another

Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother

Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you
Holly give me some of your English lovin'

Holly: If I did that Jack I'd have one in the oven
Why don't you go off and love yourself

Jack: If I did that Holly there won't be anything
Left for anybody else

Holly: Jack it's too bad about the way you look

Jack: You know I gave that horse a carrot
So he'd break your foot

Meg: Will the two of you cut it out
And tell 'em what it's really all about

All: Well it's true that we love one another

Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother

Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

    "Elephant" is supposed to be about "The Death of the Sweetheart"... I think that has to do with all the obscure sexual references hidden in the seemingly innocent songs.

    "I just don't know what do with myself" could be about jerking off-

    "Black Math" could be about the occult

    And "Ball and Biscuit" is obviously about sex--

    so this could be about a three way. who knows.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Magical
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
“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.
