the one that i'm with thinks sex is a beautiful thing and that's simply adorable.
when my time is affordable, dimes pay the price. i get abusive and that's the truth.
it's just a fuckin' shame this is how i choose to communicate,
excuses i produce have their roots in the music i make.
she's not a fan...nor am i famous.
i may just change and adjust
when i branch out and leave. get off my damn couch and achieve
what i dream about, leave my house, hand out my keys
to the sleepless beauty who failed math class and can't count her z's.
ha ha ha ha "the tree died."
she says that she's mine, she's my proprietress.
i can't hold onto most of what i own, besides she likes to kiss
and that's cute. i hug her 'til i start to hurt her.
she wants to dance to my pulse but i've got heart murmurs.
a shark circles our lifeboat 'til its fin folds.
the monster we created might choke in clothes.
i'm naked walking tightropes without big toes,
couldn't see this with a nightscope if my skin glowed.

falling, calling for a safety net.
the great white might drain me of my life, bite into my veiny neck.
wet dreams of falling asleep
could dry up when she sees that i bleed off beat.
head over heels 'cause she's tripping on her own feet,
that puzzled look on her face that isn't complete.
she gives bits and pieces of herself.
while i'm breaking myself open, i pour my contents to her shelf.
pardon me, but is that me wearing my hard-on on my sleeve?
with razor sharp teeth...gnawing at my wrist... how beautiful is this?
the most beautifulist thing in the world,
is making up words when i have none else left to say to a girl.
making her curl up in a ball in the corner of my eye,
taking a time-out, i don't want her to cry.
i don't ever wanna be considered the sort of guy
who says "i just might break your face tonight."

i spread my love like the legs of a crackwhore,
we sleep together but don't sleep to keep it simple.
you dance around me like a fire,
blow me away, blow me away.

i spread my love like the legs of a crackwhore,
we sleep together but don't sleep to keep it simple.
you dance around me like a fire,
blow me out and i'll send you love poems in the form of smoke signals.

over-average marriage materialist, mr. righteous,
a savage miscarriage of justice. just us and the dust that never settles.
i'm rust that spreads on metal to make it weak, plus disgustingly ugly.
nobody wants to fuck with or touch me.
underappreciative with a hundred weaknesses. what do i need to live?
the blood i bleed is thicker than the skin i shed people with.
beat a fist to the air, pretend to make believe she cares,
'til i open up old wounds, and the usual bruises on my ego appear.
i'm a low self-esteem engine in need of a whorespower. out of sleeping powder.
dark clouds follow me with heat-seekers, i need a colder shower.
the showboat won't expose his open ended quest,
'cause it won't float if it turns out these are permanent echoes in his chest.
i think it's best to turn the reverb down, kill the delay,
and get me the fuck out of this cave!

i could paint you pictures all day.
but i'm not gonna pander to neanderthals that way.
i'm not gonna pander to neanderthals today (uh uh).

the one that i'm with thinks sex is a beautiful thing.
she thinks i'm something special. she's my specialist and more beautiful than sex.
'cause only something like sex can make something so lovely turn ugly, and fuck up shit.
i'm holding a sleepless beauty pageant on my shark infested water bed until it's punctured.

i spread my love, spread my love, spread my love until i pull a muscle.
spread my love, spread my love, spread my love until it's see-through.

i spread my love like the legs of a crackwhore,
we sleep together but don't sleep to keep it simple.
you dance around me like a fire,
blow me away, blow me away.

i spread my love like the legs of a crackwhore,
we sleep together but don't sleep to keep it simple.
you dance around me like my fire,
blow me out and i'll send you love poems in the form of smoke signals.

    Personally, as a woman, this song makes me want to kill myself. I love Sage Francis, though. Shit.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
