"This one's going out to all my heartbroken thugs"

On the east side
That's where I met my Ramona
"Ok, now, we're going to change the pace"

On the east side
That's where I met my Ramona
"I wanna go to a party"
That's what she said
Lonely, That's what I've been
"Here's my telephone number call me"

East side where the girls are fast
Tight jeans show lots of ass
I love the ladies who got some class
Love you baby til it just don't last
It's all in the past

My ruca got me waitin'
and the truth is I'm debatin'
If I'mma hang around here much longer
Waiting for my heina with a Heineken
Tryna decide if I'mma buy Ramona a Corona

She wants to have this dance
Call me
She also has a friend
Call me
She saw you on the hip hop show
But never thought she'd see you walk through that door

The parties were meant to be crashed like
Her waist was meant to be grabbed
She loves the way that we rap
But I ain't really doing nothing
Just running my track

To a party
A house party
Oh let the people
Just rally round me

And love
She sent a message of love
She said "I love up the way you move,
I love the way you rap"
Ramona please step back

Now she's my ruca
I'm barely waiting for my heina

Rally round, feel the sound
Pulled up to the party like a washed up celebrity
Waiting for the homies to get back from a beer run
Pushed a circle into a square
Shapeshifting like nobody cares
Drunken vandals playing Sublime records
While your ruca always has you waitin'

Hot boxing in a car full of females
Spread the legs in so many ways
She don't care about politics or religion
She just wants to hold you til Armageddon

Well play that song that we both dig
And then make yourself useful and pour me some whiskey
And when you move, please stay in touch with my touch

She moved from Long Beach up to LA
Right now she's selling oranges by the freeway
I wanna know, Ramona am I the only one tell me
And she said "You are the only one,
But the best is Bradley"

"Haha dude did she really say that?"
"Yup"
"Aww don't cry"
"It's cool...she's right"


And now I'm waiting for my ruca
I barely pulled up with my heina
I know tonight I'll be behind her
Don't fuck around with my heina

"See I'm from the West Side but I'd love to travel down to see ya"

    My Opinion

    Can't believe nobody's comment on this yet. It's my favorite track offa "Look at All the Love We Found". I think is line is obscenely cute:

    I wanna know, Ramona am I the only one tell me And she said "You are the only one, But the best is Bradley"

Silent Planet
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.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
