This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Last night, I got served
A little bit too much of that poison baby
Last night, I did things I'm not proud of
And I got a little crazy
Last night, I met a guy on the dance floor
And I let him call me 'baby'
And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my momma would be so ashamed
It started off "hey cutie, where you from?"
Then it turned into "oh no! What have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name, woo
We left, the club, right around three o'clock in the morning
His Pinto, is sitting there in the parking lot
Well it should of been a warning
I had no clue, what I was getting into
So I blame it on the Cuervo
Oh, where did my manners go
And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my momma would be so ashamed
It started off "hey cutie, where you from?"
And then it turned into "oh no! What have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name, here we go
Today, I woke up, thinkin' 'bout Elvis
Somewhere in Vegas I'm not sure
How I got here, or how this ring on my left hand just appeared
Outta nowhere, I gotta go, take the chips,
And the Pinto, and hit the road
They say what happens here, stays here
All of this will disappear, but there's just one little problem
I don't even know my last name
Oh, my momma would be so ashamed
It started off "hey cutie, where you from?"
And then it turned into "oh no! What have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name
What have I done, what have I done, what have I done
Oh what have I done, I don't even know my last name
Well it turned into "oh no! What have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name, yeah, yeah, woo
Mm, yeah, eh, eh
Yeah, eh, eh
Yeah, eh, eh
Yeah, eh, eh
Yeah, eh, eh
Yeah, eh, eh
Oh
It started off "hey cutie, where you from?"
And then it turned into "oh no! What have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name, oh yeah

And I got a little crazy
Last night, I met a guy on the dance floor
And I let him call me 'baby'
And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my momma would be so ashamed
It started off "hey cutie, where you from?"
Then it turned into "oh no! What have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name, woo
We left, the club, right around three o'clock in the morning
His Pinto, is sitting there in the parking lot
Well it should of been a warning
I had no clue, what I was getting into
So I blame it on the Cuervo
Oh, where did my manners go
And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my momma would be so ashamed
It started off "hey cutie, where you from?"
And then it turned into "oh no! What have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name, here we go

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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
This is my favorite song off the new album. Carrie should toally make this her next single.. It would be a big hit!
Bad Carrie!
i have a theory; this is the next "Before He Cheats"
hahaha , this song is great.
this song is amazing anyway its about carrie having a night out and getting smashed lol ya gotta love carrie
kdonbabe, she's not PROMOTING it she's saying how its bad. It's just a song chill. There's MUCH worse songs out there about MUCH worse things. Anyway, a really easy song to understand. She just got drunk at a club, had sex with some guy who's last name she didn't know, woke up confused and saw a ring on her left ring finger, thought "oh shit I married a guy and not i don't even know my OWN last name" and how her mother would be ashamed. tada! :]
I agree although I've hated Carrie ever since she sung that phsycopath song Before He Cheats I hate this song because the vocals are all over the place and I find it a bit unsavory...
Sweenys waiting the vocals aren't all over the place she just has a big voice so obiviously you are hearing things and this is a good song, and before he cheats is a good song i guess some people dont apreciate country
i can understand why Sweenys_waiting doesn't like 'before he cheats' because it is kind of psycopathic, she smashed up his car for cheating, but its funny and i still love it. and this because its just funny. its just like the film 'what happens in vegas' where they get married whilst drunk and regret it. its a really good song.
if it made me millions and famous id sing a psychopathic song too....
