We're so young and we're so dumb
We don't register calculations
And if you dare and should I care
I could destroy you and take you there
As the spitfires begin their descent
And tragic, romantic ascent
My love is 100 percent

Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Mistake, it was all my mistake

So suck me through your saliva screws
I can't help myself if I don't know
The flaws in you that were equal to
The mysteries of almost new
I have said this so many, many times
I can't help you out of your mind
So don't judge me on time

Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake

And if you pretend
Please try to offend everyone
We share the same monkey diseased
So give me my grape of your peace
And do what you want as you please

Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake

    This song is about cheating, and winding up giving yourself and your partner AIDS in the process. "We share the same monkey disease" can't really mean much else. It's a weird situation he's trying to talk through. Obviously, the stakes are way higher than simply "I cheated and it was wrong."

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.

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”
