This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We’re driving through the canyons
Singing songs from the sixties
The telephone rang, she said,
“Babe, do you miss me?”
And ain’t it a shame not to love the one you’re with
Well she spoke with the prettiest mouth
And she scorned me
She sharpened her teeth and flashed them to warn me
That ain’t it a shame when you hate the one you loved
Well, it couldn’t be me
No, it couldn’t be me
No, they’re not in your dreams
He don’t look a thing like me
Well I dated a rich girl
With a mother of pearl
Who paid rent in her high rise
The weight of the world
And ain’t it a shame when you’re exchangin’ all your brand new gifts
Well after a night on the floor,
she put the chain on her door
I’d worn out my welcome
I guess she got bored
She laid her on my brother
And laid him across my bed
No, it couldn’t be me
No, it couldn’t be me
No, they’re not in your dreams
He don’t look a thing like me
Well it sounds like rain
And here that’s a rare thing
Out here in the desert,
I’m stealing my water
From a hole in a mountain that flows to the affordable homes
And from the faucet it drips
And I’ll clean up the messes
The others have left us
Well I think they’ve blessed us
There’s a chain on my door
But I’m in love with the one I’m with
And it couldn’t be me
No, it couldn’t be me
No, they’re not in your dreams
He don’t look a thing like me
Well it couldn’t be me
No, it couldn’t be me
No, they’re not in your dreams
He don’t look a thing like me

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."

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
So.. the lyrics are "No the man of your dreams, he don't look a thing like me" - Not "No theyre not in your dreams"
Johnathan Rice has said during a show that this song is about dating above your class.
Great song.
I went to a concert too. He told the audience that this song was about a girl he was with... but along the way he came home to see her with his friend or brother who looked alot like him. Apparently he said she was really drunk.
yeah a lot of these lyrics are totally wrong..
