I smiled that kind of icy blue smile, of a noonday reckoning
the tied together two, of tell-tale pictures
I've sketched in, sand castle plots and plans.
Similar starting points, both for sin, and shooting blanks
but it's always, the unseen sharp pang.
The awkward rhythm of the dance
like a tick-tock clock, in that heart of hearts
repeating, repeating
there is no happy here
there is no happy here...
devil may care touches
trickled down
spine, thigh, and breast...
spine, thigh, and breast
may never truly
illuminate, illuminate, the finer art
of heartwork
devil may care touches, trickled down
spine, thigh, and breast...
may never, illuminate, finer art, heartwork
the finer art, of heartwork
I was turning over, with the sheets, and facing the arched back
thinking of how my eyes, half-opened, (there is no happy here)
caught her arm (there is no happy here)
moving from side to side (there is no happy here)
but never to me (there is no happy here)
(there is no happy here) it's all connected
(there is no happy here) by blank words
(there is no happy here) to tell empty promises
(there is no happy here) of clumsy miscommunication(there is no happy here)
(there is no happy here) (there is no happy here) so we say what we will
to see what we may, to find a Biblical knowing, in these last few hours
so we say what we will, [what we will]
to see what we may, [what we may]
to find a Biblical knowing, [knowing]
in these last few hours, in these last few, [in these last few hours]
in these last few, [in these last few hours]
in these last few, [in these last few hours]
in these last few...
it's too sad, it's too tragic, i spent myself, choking on, motions
leading up to said, misfortune
it's too sad, too tragic, spent myself [spent myself]
choking on, motions, leading up to said, [spent myself] misfortune
too sad, it's too tragic, spent myself [spent myself]
choking on the motions, leading up to, said, misfortune

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."

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.

Page
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.
