Am I the one you see in your so-called nightmares?
Wake up and dance, dance to the beat of the drama.
Since beggars can't be choosers, I'll play the victim while you play the fool.
This one goes out on, this one goes out on popular demand.

So hit me back, here's another track you can count on losing.
So take that, here's our plan of attack so count on bruising.

We are the ones you've named the, the unaccepted.
Wake up and dance, dance to the beat of the drama.
Since liars can be bruisers, you'll play the victim while we play the fool.
Tonight this goes out on the shelves because of popular demand.

[Repeat: x5]
So hit me back, here's another track you can count on losing.
So take that, here's our plan of attack so count on bruising.

    this song (i feel) is directed towards Fall Out Boy (hense the whole "Dance, Dance" reference) I've been told that Pete Wentz heard about the idea of their song while writing "Under the Cork Tree..." and decided to use it as his own. Unfortuntaly for the Audition, FOB's album was coming out before theirs so they had to change the idea around bc their song/ song idea was stolen. So they used this opperunity to write one about how they felt about what happened and it's my favorite song on the record (go buy it, bitches!)

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."

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
