This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There's beer in coffee mugs, water bottles and soda cups
And it's clear as the windows I came through
That you are in one of those moods and I am in one of them, too
And it's hard to communicate anything
And I will remember that summer
As the summer I was taking steroids
Because you like a man with muscles
And I like you.
It's the cops are coming in type of sobering up
It's a girl who never learned that I could not give a fuck
My friends are happy, I am happy, I have learned to adapt
It's a darker kind of humor and I can still hear 'em laugh
And there's beer in coffee mugs, water bottles and soda cups
And it's clear as the windows I came through
And I will remember that summer
As the summer I was taking steroids
Because you like a man with muscles
And I like you.
But it's an aerial view from your house to my room
Yeah, it's an aerial view from your house to my room
Look in your windows, and I am trying not to stare
Hold on to hope I'm sure was never even there
'Cause it's an aerial view from your house to my room
As the summer I was taking steroids
As the summer I was taking steroids
As the summer I was taking steroids
And it's clear as the windows I came through
That you are in one of those moods and I am in one of them, too
And it's hard to communicate anything
And I will remember that summer
As the summer I was taking steroids
Because you like a man with muscles
And I like you.
It's the cops are coming in type of sobering up
It's a girl who never learned that I could not give a fuck
My friends are happy, I am happy, I have learned to adapt
It's a darker kind of humor and I can still hear 'em laugh
And there's beer in coffee mugs, water bottles and soda cups
And it's clear as the windows I came through
And I will remember that summer
As the summer I was taking steroids
Because you like a man with muscles
And I like you.
But it's an aerial view from your house to my room
Yeah, it's an aerial view from your house to my room
Look in your windows, and I am trying not to stare
Hold on to hope I'm sure was never even there
'Cause it's an aerial view from your house to my room
As the summer I was taking steroids
As the summer I was taking steroids
As the summer I was taking steroids

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Such a fun song.
I believe this is about pretending to be someone you're not to impress someone else.
As well as setting a scene for the listener, the beer "in coffee mugs, water bottles and soda cups" is a metaphor for Brian adapting to what his friends and the girl he's interested in like. There's beer taking the form of every kind of container other than its natural one.
Just like the beer, Brian tries to act like others to fit in. His prospective lover is in "one of those moods", so therefore he puts himself in that mood himself. His friends are happy, so he is happy. He will learn to adapt to the darker sense of humor they have.
The most dramatic example of this is Brian taking steroids to impress his lady friend. This is less subtle and also drives home the point that all of this pretending isn't harmless.
I'm not so sure about the "aerial view" part. Maybe by doing these things, he is implying that he is not good enough for these people in his natural state. So, by pretending to be what they like, he is essentially placing them above him and giving them an opportunity to look down on the real him.
Maybe her superiority? She's in the sky and he's on the ground sort of thing. And also "house" compared to "room" is superior

It's about lying about who you are, and sometimes it's completely obvious that you're lying, like when you see teenagers being really interested in their coffee mug or water bottle, you know what's in there isn't what is supposed to be. It's lying in attempts to make people around you and in turn yourself more comfortable.
