Do you wonder if time will find us
Sharing pace like once we would
I think I should, I know I might
But your line around my neck
Keeps pulling, pulling

I am nothing if I'm lying
You go first, and I might
I bet I could, I mean to try
But your line around my neck
Keeps pulling, pulling
Pulling, pulling

How've you been girl
Has life been kind?
Did you get free?
Do you wanna come back?
Well I've been fine, girl
For once you're not on my mind
Get what I need
I sleep in the grass

Put your line around my neck,
Keep pulling
Put your line around my neck,
Keep pulling, pulling
How've you been, girl?
Has life been kind?
Did you get free?
Do you wanna come back again?
Yeah, I've been fine, girl
For once you're not on my mind
Get what I need,
I sleep in the grass

    I think it should be "I think it should, I know it might,"

    I pressed add comment by accident. You missed a line too..

    "I am nothing if not procratic, you go first and I might(maybe, makes sense, being procratic also sounds like "I am lying"). but I could, I mean to try, but your line around my neck keeps pullin', pullin'"

    He sings "Well I've been fine, girl" not "I think that, girl" And he might be saying "I sleep in the grass"

    He also says "Put your line AROUND my neck"

    Admirable attempts at the lyrics, though when I last saw them perform, Anna told me that nobody in the band truly knows the words to this song other than Adam.

    Good catch with the way it changes the third time to "put your line around my neck, keep pulling!"

    Just a suggestion, but some of these lyrics seem pretty distinctly different to me. "Sharing days like once we would" first of all, i think you will agree if you listen. "I think it should, I know it might," because he is referring to whether or not time will find them.

    Though I don't know what he does say after "I am nothing," it certainly isn't "I'm lying" because there is a hard 'C' or 'K' sound where there would have to be an 'L' sound. Proceeding that directly, I have a feeling he is saying "You go first, and I align."

    But in any case, this is just such good music. Thanks for listening to Annuals! :)

    I have no opinion about the meaning of this song, nor do I really want to find out what it means. I just love it. This is a song that feels like it means more than it's creators realized; I've listened to Annuals other stuff, and while it's not bad, nothing I've heard equals Loxtep. It's been one of my favorite songs since I first heard it over a year ago, and I'm just grateful that stuff like this can exist.

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”

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."
