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.
One, two, three, four (all the things that she said, was it all in my head?)
Come on, baby
Keep it down
Honey, hush your lips
Clothes trailing
From the backdoor
To the bedroom
And I don't even know your name
Give me all you've got
Make this night worth my time
Make this worth my time (oh)
What I would give to live this night again
I knew when I first saw you
You'd fuck like a whore
You'd fuck like a whore
I can hear you screaming for more (yeah)
Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze
My lips, your poison
They bring you to your knees
Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze
My lips, your poison
They bring you to your knees
Ah, come on
Girl, get down
It's almost over
Take it all the way
Oh
You stupid fucking whore
And after all of all my dreaming being only you
You're standing there, baby, oh
The things that I could do
Back to the wall with a drink in my hand
Back it up, baby, ride, ride, ride
One step too late
And I never told you
That I can't take
Another disappointment
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending
Ten inch
With your back against the wall
With your face buried in the pillow
I see you cold
I feel you heartless
Bitch
You stupid fucking bitch
You stupid fucking bitch
Fucking bitch
Come on, baby
Keep it down
Honey, hush your lips
Clothes trailing
From the backdoor
To the bedroom
And I don't even know your name
Give me all you've got
Make this night worth my time
Make this worth my time (oh)
What I would give to live this night again
I knew when I first saw you
You'd fuck like a whore
You'd fuck like a whore
I can hear you screaming for more (yeah)
Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze
My lips, your poison
They bring you to your knees
Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze
My lips, your poison
They bring you to your knees
Ah, come on
Girl, get down
It's almost over
Take it all the way
Oh
You stupid fucking whore
And after all of all my dreaming being only you
You're standing there, baby, oh
The things that I could do
Back to the wall with a drink in my hand
Back it up, baby, ride, ride, ride
One step too late
And I never told you
That I can't take
Another disappointment
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending
Ten inch
With your back against the wall
With your face buried in the pillow
I see you cold
I feel you heartless
Bitch
You stupid fucking bitch
You stupid fucking bitch
Fucking bitch

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
beautifully orchestrated. it's about tearing the petals off a rose, not only because you can but because it will LET you. that slow bit, is fake sympathy. fuckthegirl. fuckthegirl. fuckthegirl. fuckthegirl. wait she's not a girl, she's a whore.
Actually it is,
"I see you cold, I feel you heartless."
You put in "I feel you coud, I see you heartless." xD
I honestly think this is a song about how a guy is tired of being heartbroken so he decides to just be a manwhore and screw girls he meets at clubs
"One step too late and I never told you That I can't take another disappointment Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending" that part is what makes me think of him being tired of relationships and broken hearts :P
About killing sluts? Idk, awesome song though.
I love this song because it shows like every side of Asking Alexandria. You have the brutal breakdown,mixed with sexual lyrics,and the emotional soft side. It's obvious the song is about a 1 night stand with a whore but the soft part has such a deep meaning. I think "one step to late and i never told you that I can't take another disappointment" is about how he never told someone how he really felt about her before it was to late, he can't stand not being with her.
Or so I've heard.
what do they say between "..another messy ending" and "she's screaming"?
they never said "she's screaming". i think they said "dead end", like its the end of the road and now your back is against the wall/
what do they say between "..another messy ending" and "she's screaming"?
what do they say between "..another messy ending" and "she's screaming"?
TEN INCH! haha xD
Well the begining sounds like he's getting ready to rape some chick! but then he realizes she's a whore so shes just gonna go along with it!
"Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze. My lips, your poison" at this point he goes down on her and is eatin her out (lips), but he doesn't realize she has and std (poison)
"And after all of all my dreaming being only you" he's wanted this girl for awhile
"One step too late and I never told you" he wanted more than just sex for this girl, but he remembers shes just a whore and there could never be more between them than sex so he takes it and fucks her like the whore she is.
"with your face buried in the pillow I feel you cold, I see you heartless" definetaly anal going on here! he doens't wanna look her in the eyes when he's doin his bussiness, cause he doesn't feel anything for her. just a way to blow a load!
and this whore time she knows that she is a whore cause he's been telling her, but she just doesn't care.
