This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I got a lot to say to you
Yeah I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
Crush, crush, crush, crush, crush (two, three, four)
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us is counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, this
If you wanna play it like a game
Well come on, come on let's play
'Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
Crush, crush, crush, crush, crush (two, three, four)
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us is counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, this now
Rock and roll baby, don't you know that
We're all alone now, I need something to sing about
Rock and roll honey, don't you know baby
We're all alone now, I need something to sing about
Rock and roll honey, don't you know baby
We're all alone now, give me something to sing about
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us is counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, no
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us is counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, more than this
Oh, oh, ooh
Yeah I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Zombie
Cranberries, The
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
okay, im gonna try and explain what i get out of this song, line by line xD
I got a lot to say to you Yeah, I got a lot to say I noticed your eyes are always glued to me Keeping them here And it makes no sense at all
he obviously likes her, looks at her. but nothing more, therefore it makes no sence.
They taped over your mouth Scribbled out the truth with their lies, your little spies They taped over your mouth Scribbled out the truth with their lies, your little spies
his friends don't want him to say anything to her, and don't want them together for some reason.
Crush Crush Crush Crush, crush (Two, three, four!)
shes got a crush on him xD
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone Just the one, two of us who's counting on That never happens I guess I'm dreaming again Let's be more than this
all she wants is to be alone with him but thats never gonna happen, cause he never does anything more to make it look like he wants her. she wants them to be together.
If you wanna play it like a game Well, come on, come on, let's play Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending Than have to forget you for one whole minute
so if he just plays with her mind, flirts with her. she's cool with that, cause its better than nothing.
Rock and roll, baby Don't you know that we're all alone now? I need something to sing about Rock and roll, hey Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now? I need something to sing about Rock and roll, hey Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now? Give me something to sing about
somehow shes managed to get alone with him, and his friends can't say anything or plant things in his head. she wants him to fall in love with her, she wants them to be together. so that she can have something REAL to sing about.
this is just what i got out of this song.. i can relate much to this song
Good job :] thats how i interpreted it too
this is really good...what i though too =D
I hate how much I can relate to this song. She has a crush on him and he likes her back, but he's in a position where he can't do anything about it. It's completely unfair to her, but she just wants to be with him, even if it means that their relationship stays platonic.
"They taped over your mouth Scribbled out the truth with their lies, your little spies"
I love that line.
What does it mean?
i doo tooo(:
I think this is my favorite song from Riot. It sounds like she was in love with someone but that person doesn't see her anymore because of someone else that wrapped him up with lies.
i agree with gabbitastic, most of the song makes sense with the idea that she has a crush. playing it like a game is them flirting but nothing ever happens; it makes no sense that all he's doing is looking when they could be together; obviously, "let's be more than this"; and the one "two" she was counting on was.. them as a couple? maybe? hmm?
but i can't figure out who "they" are. i thought maybe it's about gossip, and "they taped over your mouth / scribbled out the truth with their lies / your little spies" might be like the people talking behind their backs about their little crush, and every time someone tells someone else, they warp the truth with their lies.
it's a stretch but it's really all i can think of!
I think you are right ....i think "They" are his friends the popular ones .. he likes her but he doesnt want to lose his status with is friends ..<br /> "If you wanna play it like a game - i think this means he is flirting but e does nnothing about it because he feels his friends dont think she is good enough<br /> They taped over your mouth<br /> Scribbled out the truth with their lies<br /> You little spies - covincing him he doesnt like her ...which is lies <br /> <br /> i <3 paramore<br />
haha id like a quiet evening alone with Hayley Williams =]
haha lol i here that :]
omg lol. MEN!! but...id probably join lol ;)
I'd like to start by saying I LOVE and LIVE this song. It is definitely about a guy. You think he likes you one second, and then suddenly he drops you like a hot potato when his friends come around. It is about basically being fed up with the mixed messages and knowing if you could just get him alone for a few seconds you might be able to change his mind. She is basically saying fuck your mixed messages, if you wanna play a game, well i can play just as hard as you. AND THEN when she finally gets him alone she realizes she has nothing to talk about (or "sing" about). Well, my meaning is just one of many. oh and koishiiyume what the hell r u smoking buddy boy? Peace, Love, Bee.
Rock and roll baby Don't you know that we're all alone now? I need something to sing about.
I LOVE that part. I love the record. They blew me away live. Now I'm a Parawhore lol.
Lmao "Parawhore" That is too funny. <br /> <br /> I love this song. Especially when she says "Honey" Swooooons
im going to be honest.. i hated this song the first time i heard it...lol now its my fave... i love the part where she is like... "rock and roll baby don't you know that we're all alone now i need something to sing about..." this song has an awesome vibe...
i think she has a crush, and wants a nice "quiet evening alone" but he really doesn't like her back therefore she says "That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again" i don't know thats just my guess on this and how i really see it. it could mean something totally different though.
