Barbarella

Scott Weiland

You play the game
I'll masturbate and sing a lullaby
You run the race
I'll pay the miles

You sing the pink love fuzz
And dance the musty queer
I'll stay at home ‘cause I'm the mouse
So high that I can't fly

More deep than space number nine
Can't tell time by telling time
She's so ready I'm so heavy
It's so heavy on me

Can't hold time by holding time
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease

Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
Lost in space-we could be free
Let go, let God they say

I do believe but not in yours or yours
I just believe it's all the same
Don't know just who I am
Don't know about the lamb

I'm the meat of the feast
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease

Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
Lost in space-we could be free
Na Na Na Na Na Na

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
And all the tangerines
They taste like jelly beans

This must be boring by now
Grab a scale and guess the weight of all
The pain I've given with my name
I'm a selfish piece of shit

Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease
Shoot the bad guys

And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
Lost in space-we could be free
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery

Can't you see it's a disease
Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
We'll watch Lost in Space on my TV

    Who knows? It's weird but it's funny when he says "and all the tangerines...they taste like jelly beans."

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
