I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
LUPE: Yo
PHARREL: Hold it now!
LUPE: Uh
LUPE: Get up and walk up to her and say [go over there] hi. That's all you gotta do is say hi. That's all you gotta do. Say hi.
Well I know I'm not the coolest
And this might sound kind of foolish
Cause I know I'm not the smoothest
Told myself I shouldn't do this
Cause I'm not very well suited
Not the popularest of students
We ain't in the same crowd
Always see you with the hoopers
But we got the same lunch
You might see me with the cooler
That's 'cause I don't eat pork
You can never be sure
Oh, you like Linkin Park
That's the hat from the tour
I got a autographed shirt they wrote “much love to ya!"
Man that's really funny how we like tha same music
But I really love jazz
I was gonna play the tuba
I tried to join tha band they said I was really really bad
Didn't really make me sad
I'm used to being the loser
But you, I think you're super
So much I had to pursue ya
I don't believe the things they say or the football teams rumors
Tha quarterback cant spell
I'm his after school tutor
I just took a cue from cupid
Now I think its stupid
I'm sorry...
And then I walked away
Thinkin' that she would never talk to me
Like what were you thinking?
Bringing up the band..
You would have got a better result if would have just beat her up and ran
You shouldn't have worn your glasses
Take your shirt up out your pants
See, now its all over
And you wont get another chance
Damn..
I was so close to her
Then I felt a hand on my shoulder
She said I know your not the coolest but I swear you are the cutest
And I know you played the tuba
I seen you at the recital
It takes a lot to get up there and embarrass yourself
But you shouldn't put down you should merit yourself
That's just mean you not a punk
I like the loneliest monk
Hest the wallpaper on my computer
I love Final Fantasy
I hate first person shooters (me too)
Meteora was nice, but I bought Hybrid Theory twice
Half of tha cheerleading squad is in the stouper
Tha only reason I do it cause of my mother took state when she was a junior
And she want me to do tha same so I'm like naw
I wanna be an oncologist and diagnose tumors
I gotta a pet parrot his name is Mister Tuna
My favorite food is fish
Remember that for the future
My IM name is miss luana you can hit me after six
(How you feelin' right now?)
Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes!
Come see more, we have things to do
(How you feelin' right now?)

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
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song is one of my favorite on the whole albumn... and I believe that his real name is Seymore... so it should be "Seymore, we have things to do". But this is the dorks anthem, I love it.
his real lame is wasulu...
