Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands

Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands

Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands

Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands

Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands

Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands

Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands

Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands

Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands

    actually.... i take my comments back.... here is the reply from jake (health)

    "hey, they are as follows.

    Eyes lit On sharp threats From darks lips

    But lights press The soft skin To rough hands.

    If you are inquiering about the CC remix then they are just a non sensical mish mash of the lyrics listed above.

    XOXO Jake + HEALTH

    merry fu***n.. Christmas"

    REGARDLESS OF THE CORRECT LYRICS, I get a creepy tone from it in both the music and lyrics. Every different interpretation of the song I've read leads me to this conclusion: It's about a rapist with no eyelids (aggressive-eyes open) and short breaths (sexual aggression!) who kills her when daylight comes because her 'soft skin' falls into 'rough hands'.

    But hey, I'm high. I might be just paranoid.

    Memory

    "nice, live life on short breaths, i don't ignore my lips nice breaths ---- something into the hand

    I live life on short breaths"

    I listend to the song when i was really baked, and convinced those were the words lol. I thought it was about life, i went really deep into it and started describing how it's about people only living their lifes by halfs and always holding back, never really letting go. Going into the hand is about when you die, your lifes over and you go into the hand of God or whatever it is that comes after life. LOL. Well that was a stoned persons intake on the song. <3

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but 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."
