He sits in your room, his tomb, with a fist full of tacks
Preoccupied with his vengeance
Cursing the dead that can't answer him back
You know that he has no intentions
Of looking your way, unless it's to say
That he needs you to test his inventions

Babe, come crawl out your window
Use your arms and legs, it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you?
You can go back to him any time you want to

He looks so truthful, is this how he feels?
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
With his business-like anger and his bloodhounds that kneel
Yeah, if he needs the third eye he just grows it
He just needs you to talk or hand him his chalk
Or pick it up after he throws it

Babe, please crawl out your window
Use your hands and legs, it won't ruin you
Now how you gonna say he will haunt you?
When you can go back to him any time you want to

He looks so righteous
While your face is so changed
As you sit on the box you keep him in
While his genocide fools and his friends rearrange
The religion of the rough ten women
That backs up their views, and your face is so bruised
Come on out, the dark is beginning

Babe, please come out your window
Use your hands and legs it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you?
You can go back to him any time you want to

You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window
You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window
You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window
You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window

Come on please come out your window

You've got a lot of nerve
Yeah, you've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend
If you won't come out your window

Come on please come out your window
Oh, please come out your window

    My Interpretation

    The repetition of "You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend/If you won't come out your window" (Which is only sung once in the original version) makes the narrator of this song seem a lot more unreliable. Dylan's version has always sounded, to me, like someone trying to save a friend/ex-girlfriend/whatever from a bad relationship, but this version... It almost seems like the narrator is misrepresenting his friend's relationship, trying to convince her to feel bad about it so he can have her for himself.

    This is somehow the most accurate vocal i've ever heard. it'd be neat to hear the guy speak japanese in this voice, and get the real dylan in the room with him. they'd probably think they were speaking the same language. keith richards would be the interpreter if needed. <a href="btscene.eu/verified-search/torrent/mp3/">Mp3 torrent downloads</a>

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
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.
