I've been away for every day and every fucking night,
I've seen your eyes, I've seen your eyes,
I've seen your eyes for every day and every fucking night,
And with every city, it gets harder

You've got a mouth like a razor-blade, it cuts so deep,
So kiss my wrists and my neck, give me eternal sleep

You say, you say, I'm only a phone call away
But for me, this distance is decay

So line my throat with lipstick, and leave my blood for flies,
I'll gurgle the blues under a sea of lies

Before you take me to the sea, let me kiss the bride
Before you take me to the sea, let me kiss the bride

Now take my body to the shore and I'll wait for the tide
Now take my body to the shore and I'll wait for the tide

I will always love you!
But I need pills to sleep
I have always failed you!
So throw away my memories

Move!

I will always love you!
But I need pills to sleep
I have always failed you!
So throw away my memories
Throw away, away
So throw away my memories
Throw them all away

    i agree, its bout being on tour and being in a relationship at the same time "You say, you say, I'm only a phone call away. But for me, this distance is decay." i think that the song is pretty clear :)

    LMAO it does make sense if it is about chlamydia "You gotta mouth like a razor-blade, it cuts so deep. So kiss my wrists my neck and give me eternal sleep."

    haha

    if you would pay attention to the lyrics the song is clearly about being on tour "I've been away for every day and every fucking night." "And with every city, it gets harder."

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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/
