Slow down, please slow down
I need to find peace, anywhere in me
I feel like I'm under water, struggling to get air
I feel like I'm lost in this body, trying to get inside my head

I wanna know, what I'm thinking what I'm feeling
What I want my life to be
I wanna know how I plan to make things easier
For everyone but me

Tell me, please tell me
What to do, now that I know myself
Do you really think I could rely on this new person I have become
Do you really think I give a damn now that I can do whatever I want

Now I know, what I'm thinking what I'm feeling
What I want my life to be
Now I wanna know how I like to plan things easier
For everyone including me

    Hitten means 'the hit'. Sounds like smitten though And smitten is a cool word.

    Its not .."I feel like I'm on a run or travelling to get air"

    It's ...."I feel like I'm under water struggling to get air"

    Which makes more sense and is very sexy sung in the Swedish accent.

    Love this group.

    It's a shame that some bands as great as this never get the attention that they deserve.

    Meanwhile some retarded Fallout Boy concert carries on...

    at least we were privileged enough to hear them

    its abit boring though, this song sounds a bit like one of camera obscuras, although camera obscura have progressed far more than those dancing days. if you haven't heard camera obscura, you should.

    it's considerably faster paced than camera obscura's stuff, which bores me to tears sometimes, tbh. plus, this is like their first single, give em a chance! Regardless of how they've progressed, I can't hear anything like this song and this maturity in CO's early stuff.

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."

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
