This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
here you sit across from me
you wear your heart upon your sleeve
you say your colors don't mean a thing
and that means a lot to me
I'm losing patience, and my filler is wasted
this place gets in my eyes my clothes my nose
I try to hear your voice through the drone but I don't
it's been this way for some time
the shoe don't fit but I still try
will I ever catch myself in my own lie
I'm losing patience, and my filler is wasted
you're not lost, you're not lonely
perhaps that's why you own me
you're not lost, you're not lonely
and maybe that's the only
reason I try
you sit and smile simply
saying your garden and your flat
and your life are complete
I want it simple like that
I want your life I want your garden
I want your flat
I'm losing patience, and my filler is wasted
you wear your heart upon your sleeve
you say your colors don't mean a thing
and that means a lot to me
I'm losing patience, and my filler is wasted
this place gets in my eyes my clothes my nose
I try to hear your voice through the drone but I don't
it's been this way for some time
the shoe don't fit but I still try
will I ever catch myself in my own lie
I'm losing patience, and my filler is wasted
you're not lost, you're not lonely
perhaps that's why you own me
you're not lost, you're not lonely
and maybe that's the only
reason I try
you sit and smile simply
saying your garden and your flat
and your life are complete
I want it simple like that
I want your life I want your garden
I want your flat
I'm losing patience, and my filler is wasted

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

I'm almost positive this song is about a girl. But that's where my confidence starts to wane. Specifically this song is about a girl who is genuinely happy. She says everything in her life is complete. The speaker really admires her for it, but I don't think it's because HIS life is incomplete. He seems to suggest that he's had experiences with girls that are a little emotional and their lives weren't complete. I think that's found in the lines "You're not lost, you're not lonely." The speaker likes the girl because she's so carefree and "sits and smiles simply."
I think the first stanza or whatever it's called is describing when the speaker first met the girl. She says her "colors don't mean a thing" and the speaker is relieved to hear that. She was probably wearing black or some other dark color implying that she's sad. But since they were simply the clothes she was wearing that day, they didn't mean she was like that, once again to the relief of the speaker. My interpretation of this part is a little sketchy, though.
The second part is the speaker saying how he's trying hard to win her over. He's tried for a very long time and he's "losing patience."
I think the meaning of the words "my filler is wasted" is that she's in between relationships and, for now, he's just a toy. The speaker wants more than that because she's so carefree.
But those are just my thoughts...
