I am taking you over to the dark side
Rock n' roll

I'd like you to meet
The other side of me
Gotta getcha, gotta getcha, gotta getcha

When it's time to rock
She's a celebrity
Gotta getcha, gotta getcha, gotta getcha
I got you, I got you
And now she's got me

She drowns me out
When I shout
I'm so overpowered
I cannot hide
From the opposite side
When she takes me over

Flip the switch
Makes me split into insanity
Gotta getcha, gotta getcha, gotta getcha

Out of control
Shocking like electricity
Gotta getcha, gotta getcha, gotta getcha
I got you, I got you
And now she's got me

She drowns me out
When I shout
I'm so overpowered
I cannot hide
From the opposite side
When she takes me over

Let's co-exist
What's wrong with this
What's wrong with this
What's wrong with this

She drowns me out
When I shout
I'm so overpowered
I cannot hide
From the opposite side
When she takes me over
When she takes me over

I cannot hide
From the opposite side
When she takes me over

    Good song. It's great because we all do have 2 (or multiple sides) whether you want to admit it or not. thats your choice.

    I agree with immortal. It's all about having 2 sides to yourself. It could mean anything; a good and evil, happy and sad, lonley and energetic, etc.

    This is a hidden track on her album, but how come it's considered to be in the "other songs" category? No one makes any references to it being on the album..

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/
