Love Rhymes with Hideous Car Wreck

The Blood Brothers

These tire tracks
zigzag your torso like the devil's self portrait
the car accident, the skin graft treatment, the flower baskets, the wincing relatives

You bid her farewell then you got in your car
and that's the last thing that you can recall
and when they pulled you out, you didn't know your name, exploding semi truck blurred your face with flame

You met Jane four years ago today, dancing at some vomit stained frat party
her newspaper gown, her flashing headline brown, her violent gypsy dance, her tired underpants

Jane let you touch her and feel her and she was so free like a pineapple in a tree but
You said it's dangerous to be so intimate, you know it's dangerous, dangerous, dangerous

Jane said when she laid on her back the sun hit her body like an ugly landscape but
Some things never get better,
Like used cars and bad livers,
So you traded her in for a better looking brand
One with fake porno tits,
A padlock on her lips
A disposable tan
Biodegradable hands

And back at the hospital you got no visitors at all, but she visits you in your sleep, and that Newspaper gown is always on fire (x2)

She met him a week after you left her
When you tossed out her touch to the garbage collector.
He talked her out of her skirt in his beer-soaked apartment
And then they did all the things
You never said that you wanted.
And the sirens are laughing underneath your skull
And your thoughts are turning dull, callous and cold
Yesterday you gave your burden a name
Yesterday you gave your burden a face

And that burden, looks an awful lot like her

    Ok, Alucard is right, "Nitsirhc." You're a pathetic moron. You're contradicting yourself and you basically said you have no life (right after saying you have one). Being alive doesn't mean you have a life or live it fully. Posting on a website makes no one pathetic; it is rather something that anyone is allowed to do for free and is not looked down upon for. So stop posting on the sites of bands you claim to hate and making up words like 'retardedly.' It's just pissing everyone off. BTW, I'm astonished to read that you have a 'virtual cock' when in fact your username is "Christin" spelled backwards.

    P.S. Fuck you.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
