I just like rolling a stone up a hill in Hades
You want to lie with me, you're going to be a liar
Hell-flavored, I've got mood poisoning
It must be something that I hate
I'm just a prison of property
Buckets full of better misery
There's not a word for what I want to do to you
There's not a word for what I want to do to you
(There's not a word for what I want to do to you)
(There's not a word for what I want to do to you)

[Chorus:]
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh

Murder-cute happy-rape
Murder-cute happy, happy, happy-rape
Killer
Murder-cute happy-rape
Murder-cute happy, happy, happy-rape
Killer

I shot your face, but it was as cold as ice
Okay, I'm not his killer
I shot your face, but it was as cold as ice
Okay, I'm not his killer, killer, killer

[Chorus]

One, two, three
One, two, three
One, two, three
One, two, three

(If you get in bed, someone will fall in love
You and me and the devil makes three)

You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
There's not a word for what the devil makes me
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh

(If you get in bed, someone will fall in love
You and me and the devil makes three)

    My Interpretation

    I’m just like rolling a stone up A hill in the Hades

    Sisyphus was condemned in Greek mythology to rolling a stone up a hill in the Hades for all eternity as punishment for his deceitful acts on Earth in Greek mythology.

    -

    Hell-flavored, I've got my mood poisoning You must be something that I hate

    Almost verbatim from the film Wild Palms:

    Harry Wyckoff: You have a flu? Eli: Small case of mood poisoning. Must be something I hate.

    -

    “If we get in bed someone will fall in love / you and me and the devil makes 3” are lines Manson wrote down on hotel notepaper and the starting point for the song. The devil, he told Jodowrsky, is essentially his dark side. In O Brother Where Art Thou the sirens sing “you and me and the devil makes 3” to lure men.”

    -

    Watch out your face, my sperm’s cold as ice

    A reference to the old Christian myth of the Medieval times of how the Devil was said to have cold sperm particularly the witchcraft confession of Slyviane de la Plaine (1616), alleged to have had sex with the Devil, who wrote “The devil’s member was like that of a stallion and when it penetrated it was as cold as ice, as was his sperm.” In the film Brother Of Sleep, one character says “they say that the devil has cold sperm”.

    I heard it out as this. I couldn't make out the third line, sounds like he's stuttering something with "kay."

    "Watch out your face Murmurs as cold as ice Kill it nice? Killer"

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Blue
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.

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.
