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?

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
