Keep the lights on
Outside my window, comfort's trying to sneak in,
In my dream i'm knee deep in corn,
Dreaming of falling asleep next to you. (you)

Sunshine and holes in my plan to settle down and marry,
We're all still young...
But don't you want somebody to hold?

Headaches and sweats
(Feels like I'm falling out my skin)
We do it to ourselves,
I promise not again
I hear it summon
A swing and miss

In your head,
Did you work out the route to conquer all of your fears?
Then whats left?
When the water is dry and your hands won't grip anymore.

Headaches and sweats
(Feels like I'm falling out my skin)
We do it to ourselves,
I promise not again
I hear it summon
A swing and miss

In your head,
Did you work out the route to conquer all of your fears?
Then whats left?
When the water is dry and your hands won't grip anymore.

The more I hear, then the more I hate.
Strike down,
All the fences guarding the one thing that you had left.

The more I hear, then the more I hate. (x14)

    In my dream i'm knee deep in corn the in my dream part isn't even lyrics in the song. it's: Keep the lights on outside my window, comforts trying to sneak in. knee deep in corn, dreaming of falling asleep next to you.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Amazing
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.
