You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest
You're still the oxygen I breathe
I see your face when I close my eyes
It's torturous
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

There's a few lines that I have wrote
In case of death, that's what I want, that's what I want
So don't be sad when I'll be gone
There's just one thing I hope you know, I loved you so

'Cause I don't even care about the time I've got left here
The only thing I know now is that I wanna spend it
With you, with you nobody else here
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest
You're still the oxygen I breathe
I see your face when I close my eyes
It's torturous
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

I'm sorry but I gotta go
If you'll ever miss me give this song another go

And I just keep on thinking how you made me feel better
And all the crazy little things that we did together
In the end, in the end, it doesn't matter
If tonight is gonna be the loneliest

You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

You're still the oxygen I breathe
I see your face when I close my eyes
It's torturous
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest
You're still the oxygen I breathe
I see your face when I close my eyes
It's torturous
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

    Song Meaning

    Måneskin’s “The Loneliest” is a breakup song or more specifically one in which the vocalist is lamenting having already parted ways with the addressee. It is never specified that their relationship was a romantic one. However, the manner in which Damiano is whining, if you will, definitely gives that impression.

    Indeed, he is going as far as to basically imagine himself dying and how his ex would feel in the aftermath. Perhaps that’s something we all think about from time to time, i.e. how our loved ones would react if we were to pass away. But it’s like in this case, the vocalist is really harping on that fantasy.

    And the reason being, as relayed, is because he has already been cast into an inescapable state of “torturous” loneliness as a result of being devoid of his of his significant other. That is actually the thesis sentiment of this piece.

    It simply centers on David not having any qualms with admitting that from an emotional standpoint, he is screwed up without the addressee. And the interesting thing is that, unlike how these types of songs usually tend to go, he’s not begging her to come back or anything like that. Instead, as alluded to earlier, it seems his strategy revolves around insinuating that if she continues to desert him, one day he may be gone, permanently.

    This could be someones feelings before him/her leave someone they truly love but have to for their well being or maybe for the ex’s well being..I get the feeling that other person has no idea. This is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time. I feel it.. it could also be about Unrequited Love. Someone will always love a bit more than the other person.

    My Interpretation

    When you read the lyrics and see the video here is how I see this song. This song is sad, it sung by the person who is dying.

    I get the impression that it is actually a letter they left to the person they loved, maybe their husband or wife. In the second verse it goes "There's a few lines that I have wrote In case of death, that's what I want, that's what I want So don't be sad when I'll be gone There's just one thing I hope you know, I loved you so" the loved one is reading this and the person singing is the writer letting them know this is the end and it sucks because they will no longer be around to love them and spend time with them.

    This is also confirmed later in the song with the lines "Cause I don't even care about the time I've got left here The only thing I know now is that I wanna spend it With you, with you nobody else here" and they go on to write "I'm sorry but I gotta go, If you'll ever miss me give this song another go" They are saying they know it is the end but they will always have this song/letter and their loved one should read it/sing it when they are sad or missing them.

    It then finishes with "And I just keep on thinking how you made me feel better And all the crazy little things that we did together In the end, in the end, it doesn't matter" The pain felt in this song is from the dying person and how they know how much pain their loved one is about to go through, because tonight is going to be the loneiest for both of them.

    Just my two cents. This is one of the greatest rock songs I have heard in a long time.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Holiday
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 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."

Gentle Hour
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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
