This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This tasty meal is almost gone
Still got no shame, but not for long!
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, rain, but the rain all turn to bits
I hope to make it home one day
I doubt that day will come
I know you, know, ?
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This tasty meal is almost gone
Still got no shame, but not for long!
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, rain, but the rain all turn to bits
I hope to make it home one day
I doubt that day will come
I know you, know, ?

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
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.
I think it's, "Still got my shake, but not for long". Since he is talking about milk in the previous line, it's a play on "milkshake". As in, the milk part is almost gone, but he still has the shake part, but that will go away soon too. shake could be a metaphor for his youthfulness, and milk could represent childhood since little kids are given milk a lot. so he is saying the "taste" or memory of childhood is almost gone, he is still youthful but knows that will end soon too. i think that the song is about getting older and becoming more mature, letting go of the past and embracing the future, etc. it seems to be a major theme in Bromst, especially since the last song is actually called "Get Older".
i read your entire post thinking it was a joke
I do love a good milkshake.
sure, maybe the theory is a little hard to believe, but Dan Deacon's lyrics are surreal and absurdist. And I don't think Dan Deacon is above using a silly milkshake pun to make his point, he writes songs about cats and dogs and pitch shifts his voice to chipmunk level in most of his songs. But I don't think that means his songs don't have meaning, rather you just have to do a little digging to find the meaning. In interviews, Dan has talked about how getting older, maturing, growing up, etc. are prominent themes in Bromst. Snookered is the main single off Bromst and encapsulates the sound and meaning of the album as a whole. This song is definitely about life, I don't think it is too much a leap to say that it's specifically about getting older. <br /> <br /> Also, it makes sense that Dan would talk about how getting older causes you to lose your memory of what it was like being a kid, and then causes you to lose your youthfulness. Dan Deacon is nearing 30, the age associated with growing up, maturing, leaving behind the party lifestyle of your 20s, etc. So, I think Dan is saying that he is still energetic and can party and entertain us, but not for long. Eventually he'll have to retire when his body can't keep up with the demands of touring.
@DCFCAlex pretty sure it's, 'Still got my shape, but not for long'. Snookered is a pool term meaning you're trapped behind another ball. Shape is another pool term meaning you have good position on your ball. Kinda fits better.
