This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
If you go, they'll say you're following
If you don't, then you're too good for them
If you smile, you must be ignorant
If you don't, what's your problem
If you're down, so ungrateful
And if you're happy, why so selfish?
You can't win no, you can't win no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Under dressed under your skin
Oh a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't, you can't win no
If you're thin, call it a walkin' disease
If you're not, they're all screamin' obese
If you're straight, why aren't you married yet?
If you're gay, why aren't you waving a flag?
If it's wrong, you'll never hit
If it's right, you'll always miss
You can't win, no you can't win no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Under dressed under your skin
Oh a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't, you can't win no
And you try you try so hard
But I swear it on your heart
And you play you play the game
But you pay you pay for it
You can't win no, you can't win no
If you speak, you'll only piss them off
If you don't, you're another robot
If you stop, they'll just say you quit
If you don't, you might lose your shh
You can't win no, you can't win no
You can't win no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Under dressed under your skin
Oh a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't, you can't win no
I can't win
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Under dressed under your skin
Oh a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't, you can't win no
If you don't, then you're too good for them
If you smile, you must be ignorant
If you don't, what's your problem
If you're down, so ungrateful
And if you're happy, why so selfish?
You can't win no, you can't win no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Under dressed under your skin
Oh a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't, you can't win no
If you're thin, call it a walkin' disease
If you're not, they're all screamin' obese
If you're straight, why aren't you married yet?
If you're gay, why aren't you waving a flag?
If it's wrong, you'll never hit
If it's right, you'll always miss
You can't win, no you can't win no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Under dressed under your skin
Oh a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't, you can't win no
And you try you try so hard
But I swear it on your heart
And you play you play the game
But you pay you pay for it
You can't win no, you can't win no
If you speak, you'll only piss them off
If you don't, you're another robot
If you stop, they'll just say you quit
If you don't, you might lose your shh
You can't win no, you can't win no
You can't win no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Under dressed under your skin
Oh a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't, you can't win no
I can't win
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Under dressed under your skin
Oh a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly you end up fallin'
Out of line
Oh you can't, you can't win no

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
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,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
oh hey 2011 anthem
It's about trying to please everyone and realizing that you can't.
It basically means "Damned if you do, damned if you don't". "If you follow the crowd, they say you're a conformist. If you don't, then they say you're a freak" are lyrics I would have put in the song if I had written it.
Clarkson penned the song when she was touring her previous album, All I Ever Wanted. She explained the song's meaning to SameSame.com.au: "I wrote the song about having a really hard time with not even just people I was working with but just media, and the portrayal of All I Ever Wanted, fans and friends and family… everybody was like, you can't win. If you're the girl next door it's like 'boring', or if you're wild and crazy it's like 'oh you need to go to rehab'. Or people will be like 'Oh, you're gay, right?', and I'm like 'well, no', but then it's like 'if you're straight, why aren't you married?', so it's like I can't win either way! It's that whole thing of I'm never gonna please you, so I'm going to stop trying."
Clarkson wrote the song in Germany whilst her make up artist was trying to get her ready for one of her gigs. She recalled to SameSame.com.au: "I wrote it during hair and make-up, and so she was trying to do stuff and I was like 'I need to go to the bathroom and record this in Garageband or I'm gonna forget the melody!' so I had to go and do it; I always do that to her and she gets pissed off, but I can't help it! You get inspired when you get inspired!"
