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"
Vinyl black stilettos
and fake eyelashes
Blue eye shadow
everything perfectly matches
Touch my plastic face
and see what happens
I'm hiding from the world
behind Chanel sunglasses
"Do I look fat?"
Limo tinted lipstick secrets
Knife thin - can you see us?
Crushed diamonds dollar bills
In my purse is every pill
Fake smiles, tabloid tasteless
Pretty Porsche and Fendi facelifts
Plastic noses, mannequin poses
Expensive clothes, my face is froze
[pre chorus]
plastic parts
broken hearts
masterpiece
scalpel please
[chorus]
Pink razors, so vain
Let's have a sexy party
Nose jobs and champagne
Sounds like a fuckin' party
Pink sherbet, popsicle lips
Perfection is - tucks and nips
Collagen pumps and lipo-ed hips
Hollywood glamour lipgloss tricks
Surgery scars and beauty marks
Botox, amusement parks
Pageant parade, suicide past
Beauty will never last
[chorus]
Don't touch me.
Just fix me. [x5]
[chorus] x2
Pink razors, cocaine
Sounds like a LA party
Rockstars are so lame
Sounds like I'll hate that party
Let's have a fuckin' party.

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."
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/
American Town

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.
omg i totally love jeffree star i wanna be just like him. :D
so yeauhhh.
mhm.
I think imma go buy some stilletos.
"Knife thin - can you see us?"
He uses the word "us" so im pretty sure he means him and all the scene people and what they've become ect. but idk. :)
Behold, Jeffree Star's only goth fan.
I do think this song's about all the fake stuff in Hollywood, and image over personality, and stuff like that. I kind of like the image it gives, though. Glamour, glamour, glamour...
you arent the only one:)
not all all love. im here with ya
gosh darnit i effin love how jeffree can be deep without people even realizing it.
i fuckin love this song!! haha it's totally obvious what he's talkin about
OBVIOUSLY, he is talking about all the fake-ass shit that goes on in high Hollywood/L.A. circles. I think that he's absolutely right, the striving for beauty is getting disgusting...
I love it. She definitly hits this obsession with beauty that we americans are so into. Its ridiculous that we all fall into it.
Totally agree with Technophobia!
jeffree star is my fucking life.
ArsenicMassacre, I don't know for sure but I don't think Jeffree Star has has any actual plastic surgery other than a sex change. But even if he has, I read " image has taken a big step in controlling everyone and everything… talent is put below beauty and vanity wins over intelligence in the marketing world. You can be a good band with a great record but if you don't have a hot singer, it seems you can't get as far." There IS a different in someone who just gets plastic surgery like it's nothing like the person/persons described in this song and someone like Jeffree Star who realizes appearance isn't the most important thing. He has said many times that image is 2nd best next to personality. haha yeah, that's my input. :]
