I see her body move in deadly positons
Her fingers graze my neck for the last time
Her lungs are spilling out
What's keeping me alive?
What's keeping her alive?
Let's see, let's cut of all her long blond hair

Listen sweetie
You never meant that much to me
Hope your eyes can see
What you did to me
You'll always be my enemy

I see the victims of the deadliest poison
My face has turned her skin chalk white
My lungs are spilling out
What's keeping her alive, but was she ever dead?
Let's see, there's footprints trailing out of the morgue

Listen sweetie
You never meant that much to me
Hope your eyes can see
What you did to me
You'll always be my enemy

I see her body move
I watch her body move
She's deadly poison
My only poison
I see her body move
I watch her body move
She's deadly poison
My only poison

Let's see, let's cut of all her long blond hair

Listen sweetie
You never meant that much to me
Hope your eyes can see
What you did to me
You'll always be my enemy
My enemy
My enemy
What you did to me
You'll always be my...

Listen sweetie (I see her body move)
You never meant that much to me (I watch her body move, she's deadly poison, my only poison)
Hope your eyes can see (I see her body move)
What you did to me (I watch her body move)
You'll always be my enemy (She's deadly poison, my only poison)

    My Interpretation

    When I first heard this song, I also thought it was literally about death. But, I couldn't figure out how anything made sense with that interpretation. Now, I imagine this song is in the middle of a scenario where the guy is pissed at his girlfriend after finding about her past and she initially tried calming him down.

    "deadly positions"-- Deadly in the seductive sense. Perhaps she was trying to be charming/seductive to change the atmosphere. "Her fingers graze my neck for the last time" -- Her touch & charm wasn't working on him. "Her lungs are spilling out" -- she's trying to sweet-talk him out of the argument.

    Chorus -- He's telling her off, as well as trying convince himself he doesn't need her.

    "i see the victims of the deadliest poison"-- he's remembering and probably confronting her past.

    "my face has turned her skin chalk white"-- he's probably pissed and she's either guilty for being caught or afraid of his anger.

    "my only poison"-- even though he knows she's bad for him, he's still addicted to her and can't quite let her go.

    I don't understand how to interpret the other stuff though: "Let's see, let's cut of all her long blond hair" -- Is he just saying that out of anger? "What's keeping me alive?/ What's keeping her alive?" -- is "alive" supposed to contrast her "deadliest positions"?

    "Let's see, there's footprints trailing out of the morgue"-- does this refer to seeing the route of her cold-heartedness?

    "Let's see let's cut off all her long blonde hair" is saying let's see if her words are legit, if I take away from her beauty I can see through the bullshit. I just got out of a year and a half relationship with a fucking whore who has this kind of hold on me. I love her but I don't want to. I want to fucking hate her, I want her out of my heart. This song fits perfectly.

    my sister thought that this was Fall Out Boy at first. i think it could be about how he lusts for a certain girl but actually hates her, and he can't stop his addiction (i guess) for her.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
