Hold it, I'm about to drop off
Let me tell you my last thought
Drift into a deep fog
Lost where I forgot to hold it
I can feel you most when I'm alone

Coming home 'cause I want to
Hang out with a starlet
Stare up at the ceiling
Preview of a screening
Flashback of a feeling
Sick sense of a calling
Heard you fuck through the wall
I heard you fuck

When I'm bored
I send vibrations
In your direction
Through the satellite mind

When I'm bored
I send vibrations
In your direction
Through the satellite mind

I'm not suicidal
I just can't get out of bed
I drift into a deep fog
Lost where I forgot to hold it
I can feel you most when I'm alone
I can fell your ghost when I'm alone

Coming home 'cause I want to
Hang out with a starlet
Stare up at the ceiling
Hiding and revealing
Flashback of a feeling
Sick sense of a calling
Heard you fuck through the wall
I heard you fuck

When I'm bored
I send vibrations
In your direction
Through the satellite mind

When I'm bored
I send vibrations
In your direction
Through the satellite mind

When your voice
Became vibrations
Through the satellite mind
Through the satellite mind

It sounded like mine, mine, mine
It sounded like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

It sounded like mine, mine, mine
It sounded like you, you, ooh

It sounded like mine, mine
It sounded like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

It sounded like mine, mine, mine
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    I think this song is personally about cheating in a relationship.

    "coming home 'cause i want to hang out with the starlet stare up at the ceiling preview of a screening flashback of a feeling sick sense of a calling heard you fuck through the wall i heard you fuck when i'm bored"

    This verse to me, what I get from it is a girl is getting frustrated with her significant other and is acting differently around him. She's suspecting him of cheating whenever they aren't together or she can't attend something with him. Paranoia/Clingy-ness essentially.

    "i send vibrations, your direction, from a satellite mind when i'm bored i send vibrations, in your direction, from a satellite mind"

    The chorus is essentially explaining guilt(of the guy) in a metaphorical way. She's could be really angry with her boyfriend and really letting her mind unleash her anger on him and it's like she's the reason he feels guilty. She's hoping that the reasons why she's angry are present in his mind and that he does actually feel guilty for the stuff he's done. Once again metaphorically, from her perspective.

    "i'm not suicidal i just can't get out of bed i drift into a deep fog lost where i forgot to hold it i can feel you most when i'm alone i can feel your ghost when i'm alone"

    I think this part the girl in this relationship is just confused about what she thinks, "I drift into a deep fog lost where I forget to hold it" which I think she means she is forgetting what he did and how angry she is, she forgot to hold her anger. The next two lines she's contemplating forgiving him and telling herself that nothing happend because she still has feelings for him.

    "it sounded like mine"

    "when your voice became vibrations from the satellite mind"

    I think at this point in this little scenario, the guy is thinking about how clingy and paranoid the girl actually is and the girl(them two being in two different places) is realizing this and she starts feeling guilty just like he was and she is realizing that he is essentially doing the same thing back at her and it's the reason she feels guilty.

    It's actually 3:30 in the morning, my apologies if that doesn't make any sense.. I actually am really tired and I went to see Metric today(coincedentally) so. Off to bed.

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/

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.
