Calling all vampire bats
Unhook your mitts from the meals
Calling all circling sharks
All roads will lead to the seals
I beg all bumbling bees
Turn against their keepers and sting
All the honey that's running its blood due
The smoke's a joke I keep playing on you

No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
Your money or your life
Your money or your life

Summon the chess pieces up
Growing ill of being picked up
By the loon, assuming it suits you
Like your false teeth they're going with you
Like all the millions of fat, hateful children
We are tubes with holes at the ending
I don't need you to love my soul
I need you to love my body, you know

No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
Your money or your life
Your money or your life

Oh my dear just meet me here
When the comet hits our atmosphere
Like burning circus tents signal our ascent
We visualize what we hope appears
Are you with me? Are you with me?
Will you follow through?
'Cause dare I force my awkward body right on top of you
Onto you

No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
Your money or your life
Your money or your life

All neutrinos inside electrons
All electrons inside the protons
All the protons inside the atoms
All the atoms inside the ion
All the ions make up the tidy
Every blood cell in my body
My body lumbers the planet
In a universe that is expanding
Outside the fear I can't fathom
We are inside another atom

I'm part of the sun, I married the moon
My brother: the comet

    I think the song is from the perspective of nature, calling for revenge on humanity by all the dangerous animals.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
