Serpentine

Peaches

I turned the task done electroclash
I bat my lash and outlast the backlash
Fuck that past that passed so fast
I snatch that gas and rise from the ash

Some call me trash some call me nasty
Call me crass but you can't match me
I'm a smash on me like a parrot
Staring at my ass and my beard and my mustache

Uh uh [x4]

Hair in a mullet you know you gotta love it
So sexual and so conceptual
Figure me out trying to catch a bout
Contagious outrageous courageous crank 'em

I'm on your big feet like airport security
Looking complete then I'm in obscurity
Fuck maturity got a big bad brain
And my champagne stain as I yank your chain

I don't give a fuck if you're calling me
I don't give a fuck if you're mauling me
I don't give a fuck if you fall for me
I don't give a fuck if you're following me
Serpentine serpentine
Never a straight line serpentine
Serpentine serpentine
Never a straight line serpentine

Uh uh oh [x8]

Coraz??n de Melocot??n
J'ai la P??che or call me Pfirsich
Perzik, Afarseqim
Mo' mo' with a side of cream
P??ssego 'cuz I say so
Touch me and I'll give you impetigo
Pesca, Breskva, Peachy's so worldwide
Pesca fresca, Peachy's so worldwide

I don't give a fuck if you're calling me
I don't give a fuck if you're mauling me
I don't give a fuck if you fall for me
I don't give a fuck if you're following me
Serpentine serpentine
Never a straight line serpentine
Serpentine serpentine
Never a straight line serpentine

Uh uh oh [x8]

I don't give a fuck if you're calling me
I don't give a fuck if you're mauling me
I don't give a fuck if you fall for me
I don't give a fuck if you're following me
I don't give a fuck if you're calling me
I don't give a fuck if you're mauling me
I don't give a fuck if you fall for me
I don't give a fuck if you're calling me
I don't give a fuck if you're calling me
I don't give a fuck if you're mauling me
I don't give a fuck if you fall for me
I don't give a fuck if you're following me

Serpentine serpentine
Never a straight line serpentine
Serpentine serpentine
Never a straight line serpentine

    have to love how everyone hears different lyrics.

    i tend to think: "hair in a mullet, you know you gotta love it" and "presqu'a, fresca, peaches so worldwide"

    but i don't give a fuck

    So a serpentine is winding and twisting and constantly moving -- changing how it moves or is perceived. I feel it is saying that shes constantly different and is never the same, as most of us all are. Dont judge and call names just live in the moment. No prejudgements -- and you cant touch her because she doesnt give a fuck. You can say these things but we are constantly winding and changing and maybe we did something in the past or for example had a certain hairdo or slept with someone or did something crazy. But that is not who makes us - and whatever, if you do something, theres nothing u can do about really, but constantly move and shake it off - wether good or bad. The things you do are not who you are, they are experiences in your life. It is not what defines your being. As she sings this in the music video her body is moving and winding to the beat of the music, like when she says 'i dont give a fuck if ur callin me, i dont give a fuck if ur maulin me" its like she is shaking or dancing these negative thoughts off of her - "brushin the dirt off her shoulders" and livin the the moment. She is also stripping her clothes off and revealing a new outfit every time, could be like her stripping of that persona of her and changing that part of her, while constantly moving to the beat. good way to think if i do say so myself. thats just my perception at the moment. sorry if its a bunch of mumbo jumbo but i felt the urge to share. :)

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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 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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
