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”
Loaded forecast on you
the pants are tight
you are ready to use
searching for some trouble
who’s gonna be the one
and try to feed your hunger
empty eyes
leading your own sorrow
none to get on
none to roll over this night honey
the lavatory is open
as you blocked his head away
twenty-one is such a good number
conversation lost its weight anyway
we are walking on a thin line
no you better stay away from this
and shut your mug
and read my lips
we are just kids
do you talk to me
pull the string
so I can be a doll
you won’t cover me up
cause I’m the girl who kisses the dawn
kiss the dawn
kiss the dawn
rebel mad and broken
why do you throw your days away
twenty-one was not a good number
conversation lost its hate anyway
you are walking on a thin line
and you better avoid the risk
so shut your mug
and read my lips
we are just kids
do you talk to me
pull the string
so I can be your doll
you won’t cover me up
cause I’m the girl who kisses the dawn
don’t you talk to me
pull the string
don’t want to be your doll
you won’t cover me up
because I’m the girl who eats the scrub
the pants are tight
you are ready to use
searching for some trouble
who’s gonna be the one
and try to feed your hunger
empty eyes
leading your own sorrow
none to get on
none to roll over this night honey
the lavatory is open
as you blocked his head away
twenty-one is such a good number
conversation lost its weight anyway
we are walking on a thin line
no you better stay away from this
and shut your mug
and read my lips
we are just kids
do you talk to me
pull the string
so I can be a doll
you won’t cover me up
cause I’m the girl who kisses the dawn
kiss the dawn
kiss the dawn
rebel mad and broken
why do you throw your days away
twenty-one was not a good number
conversation lost its hate anyway
you are walking on a thin line
and you better avoid the risk
so shut your mug
and read my lips
we are just kids
do you talk to me
pull the string
so I can be your doll
you won’t cover me up
cause I’m the girl who kisses the dawn
don’t you talk to me
pull the string
don’t want to be your doll
you won’t cover me up
because I’m the girl who eats the scrub

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
pretty song!
i can't understand what did she says at the last part of the song...
"i was alone" ???
IMO lyrics of GA songs doesnt have straight meaning at the first sight so i interpreted it in my own way a long time ago and now even if i'd be sure that the main message is so remote i wont change my mind xD
So, this song is for me about a girl who is in some kind sexually used by the man that she totally loves and he of course doesnt love her back and somehow he decided to take advantage of her love while they are somewhere alone and he became so focused on her body and his desire and he don't get any attention to her deep love. They are some kind of friends they know each other since they've been kids, they're talking but he doesnt even try to listen and he's doing everything to seduce her but in that very special way which would make him innocent in the morning(hard 4 me to ilustrate it). But she knows him a lot and she know about every his step just like women have, she feels it and he thinks that he's got control but he's not. His human nature made him do this. And then, after all, the next day(week, month) comes they both know that it wasn't good idea so he's back into his life, it was some kind of one night stand for him, while she must get the responsibility for that night, she feels like a bitch, she feel used, she so f**** hates him, but after all she loves him so much more cause she got that feeling of his body every night she sleeps alone. But somehow she's so strong and she try to tell herself that she won't let him do stuff like, she's so sure about her strenght and hate and the feeling of being used. Until the next time...
OMG, I know I'm so retarted but it's exactly the way I see it!
