Keep me around, waiting behind glass
In case you need, I'll be your piece of ass
Pretend to want me, string me along
Break glass if needed, you can make me crawl

'cause you make me feel like a dog
You can't see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man sinking deep

I was strung out for suck a long, long time
Now I own myself, yes I am mine
No longer will I be your just in case
No longer your shit do I need to taste

'cause you make me feel like a dog
You can't see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man sinking deep

I don't want to be your just in case boy
I don't want to be your just in case
Oh no

    My Interpretation

    A quite basic and direct song. A man who got blinded and fooled by his emotions and got used by a "black widow". Although he was a "happy dog" and kept waiting for the same attention in return, he could not read how she would react. He was confused and kept missing her, until her need for sex was aroused. Aftewards, she would dump him in a garbage can, literally, until next time. The same cycle would happen. Independently of the times this would happen, she would always make him crawl to her.

    Time has passed and he has realized how much of a dog (praising his owner, always happy and around to see him. Does not think of the bad things) he was to her. He had suffered enough time (I'm a man sinking deep in the ocean) and he knew he had to get to the end of the line. For her, It was a mere illusion and just for "fun", which was quite disappointing. He got the balls to cut the evil by the root. Now he's alone and growing cold. He owns himself.

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”

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
