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.
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Hands down, I'm too proud for love
But with eyes shut, it's you I'm thinkin' of
But how we move from A to B, it can't be up to me
'Cause you don't know, who I was before you
And basically, to see a change in me
I'd be losing, so I just ignore you, yeah
Oh, but you're on my mind
My mind, my mind, my mind, my mind
Oh, but maybe in time
In time, in time
I'll tell you I'm
A little bit, a little bit
A little bit in love with you
I guess that I'm a little bit, a little bit
A little bit in love with you (oh)
I know you told me break their hearts
But it's you I wanna take apart
And I will never ever be the first to say it
But still I, they know I, ah, ah, ah
I would do it, push a button
Pull a trigger, climb a mountain
Jump off a cliff, 'cause you're my baby
I love you, love you, a little bit
I would do it, you would say it
You would mean it, we could do it
It was you and I and only I, mm
Think I'm a little bit, little bit
A little bit in love with you
But only if you're a little bit, little bit
Little bit in la-la-la-la-love with me (oh, uh)
I hope they never find out (find out)
What they already know, know, know
As soon as it's official (official)
We'll have to let it go, go, go
So we don't confirm the fling
Keep avoiding all the questions (questions)
You could teach me many things
I'm just scared to learn a lesson (lesson)
The pressure's on, both hearts beat like a metronome
Both in sync like a Justin song
Feels so right but it's just so wrong
I wonder what my world 'bout
When niggas that I know tryna take my girl out
And her friends say I ain't the one to go for
She just jealous 'cause you always get approached more
Oh well, tell her fall back
Caught up in some more shit, tell her call back
Tell her get a man that ain't cheatin' on her ass
With a girl that I know, yeah, tell her all that, that
And as for you, I think I know you're the one
The closest I've come
I'm probably a little bit, a little bit
A little bit in love with you
I guess that I'm a little bit, a little bit
A little bit in love with you (oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh (la-la-la-la-la)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Hands down, I'm too proud for love
But with eyes shut, it's you I'm thinkin' of
But how we move from A to B, it can't be up to me
'Cause you don't know, who I was before you
And basically, to see a change in me

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
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."

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
GOD i love this song.
especially when DRAKE so effortlessly transcends in with:
how we move from A to B it can't be up to me Cause you don't know who i was before you basically to see a change in me i'd be losing, so i just ignore you, yeah.
this part speaks to me as i am in this situation now. i really like this guy, in fact hes my boyfriend, haha.
and hes a good guy, and i really am trying to break down those walls. but its so hard for me to because of past experiences in both my life and from what i have experienced through my friends.
i feel as if, me showing or expressing emotion is a sign of weakness, and an outlet to be seen as vulnerable and i cant allow that. so instead of me, breaking down those walls completely i just continue to ignore the fact that its even taken place or that this person in my life cares that much about me.
ugh.
this feeling is definetely reinstated with:
i hope they never find out what they already know, know, know as soon as its official we'll have to let it go, go, go so we don't confirm the fling keep avoiding all the questions you'll get teased for many things i'm just scared to learn a lesson
its so hard! im away at school, [far away from home] he lives here. it took us a while to confirm the actuality of a relationship, and now its like avoiding all questions from my friends and family because i hatee to think of when i have to leave.
i believe that i can learn many things from him, and i have- its just so nerve racking. so scared to learn these lessons in love and life.
love drake. LOVE LOVE LOVE him. finally his time is here.
i LOVE this song.
Drake did it for me
its "when niggas that i know, tryna talk my girl out"
it's about having an unoffical relationship wit someone..nd ppl's speculation..but at the same time u feel urself falling for them..ur a little bit in love with them..but u're still guarding ur feelings..cause ur afraid of being hurt..
love how you look at this. its perfect and the story of my lfe.
i know you [told me] break their hearts
but still [i...] they know i, [i, i, i...]
both hearts beat like a [metronome]
where niggas [that] i know, tryna [take] my girl out
[call] up [with] some more shit, tell her call back
also the inability to differentiate between the possessive "your" and the contraction "you're" is a little distracting. e for effort.
It's "tryna TAKE my girl out"
Oh, nevermind, adm said everything, lol.
This song rules. Basically, I think they're both too afraid to admitt they have feelings for eachother. Neither of them wanna get hurt, but in the end they can't deny the feelings they have for eachother. They're both afraid to make the first move, and they don't want their feelings to get hurt.. as said above haha.
Oddly, I think they blend really well in this song, and I think the lyrics are pretty complex.
I love this song... I feel like this explains my situation exactly.... I have had some serious relationships back to back over the course of 5 years, and ended each because I knew they were not right for me... in between these relationships I would date this one guy, but put him off because I was unsure as to what direction I was going and what I wanted to do with my life...I would just stop before anything got too serious..and ignore the situation entirely..... my past relationship was bitter sweet; and my x knows that I am the "closest" he is going to come to having that kind of relationship, although I know he is not for me, and he cannot give me what I need...I still have a lot of love for him, but its time to move on.. now I have fallen back upon the same guy whom I would date in between relationships...and although I know he is interested..he is also very gaurded from the way I had haddled things in the past..and i feel like he thinks, that if he opens up to me..yet again, I will play him (he will lose)....understandably so... but now, wanting to persue this a litte more...its hard to prove to him that I am willing to put "love" on the line, swallow my pride, and let myself be vulnerable... and at the same time I am affraid of taking that risk, or getting hurt.... also i think my x would do anything to get me back if he found out i was dating him..... so through this song... i see the multiplefeelings from each side...
I heard the original song, which is Lykke Li - Little bit and I wasn't so sure. I mean I love the lyrics for this song, they fit my situation right now so completely. But her original version was a tiny bit too cheerful and upbeat. Then I came across his remix of it, and it's got a slightly more atmospheric intro with the drum, and all of a sudden there was the whole different tone to the song, that isn't as upbeat, which I think suits the lyrics more. I ADORE this version, although I prefer the first half where he really easily jumps in and only changes a few of the lines and add in a short verse. You've all said the meanings. -happy sigh- just love it.
