People often ask me
Godforbid they say,
you're quite the ladies man,
what's your secret?

Well,
You too can be swimmin' in women
Afloat in seas of ovaries
But more importantly
Knowing whether behind those pretty eyes
You have a diamond in the rough
Or colored contact lenses and a rough (slipping sound) stripper named Diamond.

Let's recreate the scene: Make believe you're at a table seat
Talking playfully to the waitress at your local place to eat
Way below the apron
Maybelline,
smell of eggs and cheese,
bacon grease,
she's a babe
an 8 at least
You wanna push the plate of quasadillas off the table, and spread them angel's wings,
but you can't say a thing?

If you don't do well with women,
They sell prescription drugs on television
May cause loss of appetite
Malnutrition,
Dizzy spells,
And different bells were ringing,
And that's where I come in and give 'em a little extra help to get 'em

(You can't get)
You see, confidence is key when entering any situation.
(In her pants)
We all have insecurities
So why not build your confidence on the insecurities of others
(But you don't)
Hey, she's gonna (banging sound) somebody
(Give a damn)
So why not you!

The drunker you are,
The easier it is to get laid,
But the harder it is to (boing sound)
You may have to picture what it is this month
Whoever you been thinking of
The girl at the Pizza Hut,
Midgets,
Nuns,
Whatever little miss it was.
And with a little hard work,
A little luck,
If you haven't given up,
Maybe you can get it up!

Now a (poke sound) is supposed to be fun
Instant gratification, a roller coaster
But no one wants to get stuck over and over
Going home to the roller coaster
It's hard to watch your shows
And do your homework
And when the ride you rode is over
It'll cost more than a roll of quarters

(You can't get)
So pull out!
I know how warm and good it feels
(In her pants)
But it's getting crowded round here
Please! Pull out!
(But you don't)
If it's not the one you wanna stay with
You can avoid the face,
(Give a damn)
But not the abbreviation
Taking payments from your paycheck
You can do it! Pull out!

Men have what I call a Columbus Complex
Other people may have been there,
But we still want to feel like we discovered it
So don't tell the number that you done it with
Your summers in Columbia
When you were young and done a bunch of dumber (boing sound)
Rambunctious kids!
Wait for the second date to cuff the wrists
Sponges, rubber gloves, and whips, oven mitts
Now a well trimmed personal area, that's nice
But why's she so ready?
You don't suppose
That she never knows
When she might show somebody?
Now think of that before you go steady,
Or maybe at your own wedding.

(You can't get)
If she's your girlfriend
Leave her alone with your friends
(In her pants)
Now, I don't expect no virgin,
But let ‘em try to screw her
If she's flirting, or she (cartoon feet sound)
(But you don't)
It won't work man,
Get rid of her
And get yourself a new girlfriend
Remember,
(Give a damn)
The currency exchange rate,
At this party she's an 8,
At the club a 7,
At my apartment a 10.
Environment dictates.
The morning after,
She may slip to a three
Cause some things are better just to lust for.

This concludes the introductory segment of the Godforbid self-help collection

Hey, sleep with other races
Help out international relations.

For further behavioral instructions, consult the nearest strip club, and/or liquor store

Thank you, and enjoy yourself

(If it's not the one you want just let it go)

(This is a good country filled with good people. But what good is good? In times like these.)

    Pretty self explanatory song, but I cant seem to wrap my head around the idea he is getting at with the lyrics,

    "Now a well trimmed personal area, that's nice But why's she so ready? You don't suppose That she never knows When she might show somebody? Now think of that before you go steady, Or maybe at your own wedding."

    Implying a slut maybe?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

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.
