Skin This Cat

Scissor Sisters

You got my good, good lovin'
Within your grasp
Don't let it throw you
There's a million million
Ways to skin this cat
So let me show you

I got a brand new hook
To hang your hat
Tell me baby, baby just where you at
There's a million ways
Ways to skin this cat
So let me show you

And if you get it right
Get it right
I'll love you til my ninth life
Get it right
Get it right
I'll love you til my ninth life

My beauty was a beast
Before I got to know you
This kitten has a lion's roar
And she will roll you
You're not the first tom
To walk my floor
So get around the block
A few times more
And keep scratch, scratchin'
At my back door
And I will show you

That if you get it right
Get it right
I'll love you til my ninth life
Get it right
Get it right
I'll love you til my ninth life

Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat
Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat
Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat
Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat

Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat
Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat
Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat
Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat
Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat
Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat
Come here kitty kitty
Skin this cat

    Ana moves her hand towards her crotch when she says skin this cat so it's 100% sexual. But it might not be just about gay men it could be about women with men or women to but filthy sexual play is involved.

    It's about gay man, and his..err..member. And what he wants his...friend..to do to it/him.

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
