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”
You blew through me
Like a hurricane
Got me twisted, oh
You got me twisted
You promised blue sky's
And brought the rain
And I went missing, oh
I went missing
While I was sleeping
You robbed me blind
Drunk on your power
Your sweet turned sour
You sent me sailing into the rocks
My queen of Knots
Your hearts a jungle of bar fights
Lonely little queen of Knots
You must be lost
You sounded desperate
You bought your friends
They hang like targets
Such easy targets
I never seen aim so steady
No no I've never seen a mind so bent
You pull the trigger
You're cold like winter
The spell I was under
Of your see through skin
I was drunk on your power
And turned you louder
You sent me sailing into the rocks
My queen of Knots
Your hearts a jungle of bar fights
Lonely little queen of Knots
You must be lost
And I won't be there when the love comes out
Yeah I won't be there when the word gets round
Cause your someone else's baby
You're someone else's crazy, now
While I was sleeping
You robbed me blind
Drunk on your powers
Your sweet turned, sour
You sent me sailing into the rocks
My queen of Knots
Your hearts a jungle of bar fights
My queen of Knots
You must be lost
Your hearts a stumbling block
You're my queen of Knots, come-on
You're hearts a jungle of bar fights
Lonely little queen of Knots
You must be lost
(must be lost)
(must be lost)
Queen of Knots
(must be lost)
(must be lost)
I won't be there
I won't be there
Like a hurricane
Got me twisted, oh
You got me twisted
You promised blue sky's
And brought the rain
And I went missing, oh
I went missing
While I was sleeping
You robbed me blind
Drunk on your power
Your sweet turned sour
You sent me sailing into the rocks
My queen of Knots
Your hearts a jungle of bar fights
Lonely little queen of Knots
You must be lost
You sounded desperate
You bought your friends
They hang like targets
Such easy targets
I never seen aim so steady
No no I've never seen a mind so bent
You pull the trigger
You're cold like winter
The spell I was under
Of your see through skin
I was drunk on your power
And turned you louder
You sent me sailing into the rocks
My queen of Knots
Your hearts a jungle of bar fights
Lonely little queen of Knots
You must be lost
And I won't be there when the love comes out
Yeah I won't be there when the word gets round
Cause your someone else's baby
You're someone else's crazy, now
While I was sleeping
You robbed me blind
Drunk on your powers
Your sweet turned, sour
You sent me sailing into the rocks
My queen of Knots
Your hearts a jungle of bar fights
My queen of Knots
You must be lost
Your hearts a stumbling block
You're my queen of Knots, come-on
You're hearts a jungle of bar fights
Lonely little queen of Knots
You must be lost
(must be lost)
(must be lost)
Queen of Knots
(must be lost)
(must be lost)
I won't be there
I won't be there

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."

Yo La Tengo
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
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i think its obvious..... His Queen of Knots is a "bitch " that broke his heart....walked all over him "" like a hurricane"" and had him "twisted".....promised shed be the best girlfriend ever " promised blueskies" so he believed her and "he went missing""( maybe lost a lot of friendships)....but her sweet turned sour... But now he doesnt give two shits because he knows he deserves better and shes "somesone's crazy now" and not his problem anymore.
Though you can tell he's hurt and deff. bitter about all of...ive been this girl before took advantage of how nice a guy was...sometimes having a spine sometimes is better then being to nice theres a balance... sounds like he was walked all over....but also being the bitch isnt right either....the girl, if she ever loved him learned....you can bet.
