Mother We Just Can't Get Enough

New Radicals

There's something about you
Tears me inside and out whenever you're around
There's something about you
Speeding through my veins until we hit the ground
And there's something about the rush
Take it away
It made me feel so good
I get a feeling you get a feeling we got a feeling
Like we could die

And guess what mother
We just can't get enough
We just can't get enough
Lover
We just gotta get it up
We just gotta get it up

There's something about you
Tears me inside and out whenever you're around
And there's something about you
That makes me fly
You're a heart attack just the kind I like
And there's something about your kiss
Haunting and strange
That makes me feel so good
I get a feeling you get a feeling we got a feeling
Like we're alive

And mother
We just can't get enough
We just can't get enough
Lover
We just gotta get it up
We just gotta get it up

This world may not have too much time
But baby I'm fine because maybe you're mine
We just can't get enough
You better give up
Come on and give up
Better get ready to give up your life
Give up your life
It's you for me and me for you
You make my dreams come true
Off the wall coming from me
But I wanna see this through, my baby
You're on my mind all the time
I found a billion dime
You rolled the dice, and lost them all
And baby I just don't mind

And accidentally mother
We just can't get enough
We just can't get enough
Lover
We just gotta get it up
We just gotta get it up

This world may not have too much time
But baby I'm fine because maybe you're mine
We just can't get enough
We just can't get enough
And I don't want none
If I can't have you
A world of illusion
But baby you're true
I know I deceived you
I once told you lies
If you don't believe me
Just look in my eyes
Social security number please
Credit card number please
Money please
Money please
Money please
Soul please
Please deposit eighty five dollars
For the next three minutes please
Or your call will be fucking disconnected immediately

Aw yeah all right feel good tonight
Aw yeah all right feel good tonight

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.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
