I’m running out of steam and I ain’t got the wages
To pay the bills for my alcohol behaviors
Tone it down? Na it’s not an option
Escape reality
On that toxic potion    
Wind the clocks back
Pick up the slack
Don’t quit skating
Disarm the attack
Like a bomb with with timer 
Always ticking down 
Destruction's always lurking
Over ones self
Can you hear me now
Since I’m shouting loud?
Hmm no I can’t it’s a photograph
Light caught in time, transferred to paper
A thousand words spoken without hesitation 
It always makes me wonder what else was going down
at that exact moment before we hung out
before we shared breaths and loved each other
I wonder what was it that glued us together

Lo-fi one mic holds me steady

Ohhh Shiiiit here it comes again
blue ink leaks from the ball of my pen
scrawls of script written on down trees
to you it means nothing
But to me it’s the key
Hidden messages address to myself
If you take something out of them 
You’ve made me proud
People can read too deep into songs
The walrus means nothing they’re having you on
I am the egg man come chill out with me
It’s all for fun and that’s what it’ll be
To read between the lines is definitely a skill
Be over analytical it’ll lead to a kill
Imagery’s enough to keep it in check
Ninja fighting star fish with laser beam hands

Lo fi one mic holds me steady

Bang slang
Hits to the floor
I don’t wanna see your face no more
What we did to you was wrong and un just
The cusp was gonna bust once the rust turned to dust
 
Bang Bang Bang
Bang Bang Bang
Bang Bang Bang
Bang Bang Bang

Bang now ya dead with a bullet through ya head
You did it once again
The cycle never ends
The world means nothing
You’ve lived so many times
Disposed as rubbish
In universal rhyme
Star dust sweeps though the swirl of our galaxy
The milky way sits on a spiral finality
On and on not forever though
In an instant lost everything we’ve known

But, I still get lost when I drive through town
The pressures immense when the honking sounds
Danger danger no indicating 
Get taken over when I’m lane changing
Oblivious, they’re serious, delirious, imperious
Careless and fearless to witness is hilarious
Fuck you

Lo fi one mic holds me steady

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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 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
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/
