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”
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I never knew you, I never knew
I never knew you, I never knew
Your body's harmful, the very shape
The cracks are deeper, on every plate
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I get impatient, with every word
The more you ask me, the more I've heard
This is a thirst that I've never had
I've never bled for another man
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
My face screams
My face screams
My face screams
Without an emotion
In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other
Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes)
Don't wanna lose (another, another)
Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs)
Don't wanna lose (the other, the other)
Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes)
Don't wanna lose (another, another)
Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs)
Don't wanna lose (the other, the other)
Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes)
Don't wanna lose (another, another)
Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs)
Don't wanna lose (the other, the other)
In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I never knew you, I never knew
I never knew you, I never knew
Your body's harmful, the very shape
The cracks are deeper, on every plate
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
I get impatient, with every word
The more you ask me, the more I've heard
This is a thirst that I've never had
I've never bled for another man
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose
My face screams
My face screams
My face screams
Without an emotion
In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other
Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes)
Don't wanna lose (another, another)
Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs)
Don't wanna lose (the other, the other)
Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes)
Don't wanna lose (another, another)
Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs)
Don't wanna lose (the other, the other)
Don't wanna lose you (in the darkness comes)
Don't wanna lose (another, another)
Don't wanna lose you (hold her by the thumbs)
Don't wanna lose (the other, the other)
In the darkness comes, another, another
Hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other

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."
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.
I think this (amazing!) song is talking about how this girl is falling hard for this guy that she's just met or only got a glimpse of (in other words, love at first sight, aka fairy tale stuff). Other guys have never made her feel this way before and it kind of scares her. Breaking down of ze lyrics:
"Don't want to lose you"- he's great, she wants to keep him with her "Don't want to lose"- however, she thinks that if she gives into her strong feelings, then she'll be going against everything she's ever pushed away before, therefor, losing the battle she's had with herself "I never knew you, I never knew"- she doesn't know him, just what she can see "Your body's harmful, the very shape/ the cracks are deeper, on every plate"- she is visually very stimulated by this guys appearance and she thinks that underneath it, he's just as beautiful (a great personality) "I get impatient, with every word/ the more you ask me, the more i've heard"- I feel like maybe they've now started conversing and she wants him to stop beating around the bush and just ask her out or something like that "This is a thirst I have never had/ i've never bled for another man" - like I said, she's never felt this strongly about a guy before; it's so strong that she feels like she's losing everything inside of her (a fantastic line!) "My face screams...without an emotion"- I think this means that she has this reaction to this guy (her bold feelings), but there was nothing to really make her feel this way because she hardly knows him (the emotion to make her face scream); something is scaring her, but it's not the guy himself "In the darkness comes another, another/ hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other"- I take it as, from somewhere (the darkness) comes the guys girlfriend (another); and the "hold her by the thumbs" part gets me, I really don't get that part...
Sorry if I debunked this too much, I just really love this song and I think Austra's really good at music :}
I agree with your interpretation and I also love this song so so much! and just Austra in general..<br /> I don't now if you don't know this, but Katie Stelmanis is gay, so it could have something to do with her suddenly falling in love/having a crush on a man, but because of her sexuality she knows that she's going to lose him, which is the only thing she can focus on (as she repeats this)<br /> And I hate that part with "hold her by the thumbs", because I also do not know what it means - also, I can't figure out if 'her' is herself or a new girl.. But if it is herself, it could be that he will not be able to get her, because he is not able to give her what she wants, as she says "the other, the other" = he's doing it wrong... But then I don't know who it is that comes in the darkness - another man or woman?
